What is the difference between life an artificial life, "without using the God equation " wouldn't they be the same , or would the be different?

Even if supposed artificial 'life' was advanced to the point of sentient, self-aware consciousness (countless episodes involving Data struggling to be 'human' in Star Trek: TNG rings a bell here) one could argue the difference would be the spirit or soul.

The scientific definition of life is an organism that is organized, grows, reproduces, adapts, requires homeostasis, and has a metabolism. If AI can fit into all of these categories at once, then it will be considered alive. But until then, it's not.

What do you mean? Would you consider a clone 'artificial life'?
