I agree. As a non-scientist watching eagerly from the sidelines, I wonder why we even start with the proposition that 'life' would have to be physical in nature at all, rather than some form of energy, or other as yet undiscovered component of our universe. I realize that the physical, organic, carbon based beings may be easiest for us to discover, but surely we don't think that that's everything, do we?

I don't think we (we Earthfolk) are there yet. If there's anything certain, it is that any life we find off the Earth will be different, likely extremely different.
