Well then, we have to disagree on that. I believe that man was created separate from all other creation, as the pinnacle of creation. The Bible is pretty clear that Adam was created on the 6th day, and that his spirit- software- was loaded into his body (which was at that time a corpse, a perfect one, but still a corpse), and then he became a living soul. The action then, of the spirit within the body, expresses itself as a soul/mind.
Put the software into the computer, and you can read a spreadsheet or word processor. Put energy into a light bulb, and it expresses itself as light.
SO death, then, can be defined as the spirit leaving the body. The Bible says- "the body without the spirit is dead." See- I know something most scientists don't know- ha
I also know, that when the Earth was first unveiled in our space/time, the angels shouted for joy. (also in the Bible). This is more fun than a textbook, because God was actually there to record it.
So, like most CRIDers, your "argument" is: Because the Bible Says So.
Which is to say 'Because you say so', which is no argument at all.
