Well, even the plants have the electro-chemical, but it was the life in the fig tree that Jesus cursed when he found no fruit. 71 posted on 11/03/2002 8:05 PM PST by MHGinTN
Matthew 21
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Plants wither. Natural, materialistic, electro-chemical process.
Jesus caused this one to wither immediately, but I don't see anything in this passage about the fig tree itself that "transcends the material world". If anything, a purely-materialistic, natural process was (miraculously) radically accelerated.
I'm not saying that invalidates your theory, I'm just pointing out that I don't see any evidence for it here.
