Bishadi,
There is nothing mystical about life; it is from the trinity you speak, matter, energy, etc. Although the combinations of processes are so far sufficiently complex that we cannot yet duplicate them in a lab.
A simpler example and analogy would be that of fire that has many similar processes to that of life.
Fires start when a flammable and/or a combustible material with an adequate supply of oxygen or another oxidizer is subjected to enough heat and is able to sustain a chain reaction. This is commonly called the fire tetrahedron. Fire cannot exist without all of these elements being in place.
Once ignited, a chain reaction must take place whereby fires can sustain their own heat by the further release of heat energy in the process of combustion and may propagate, provided there is a continuous supply of an oxidizer and fuel.
Life is virtually identical in that it must consume fuel and it will oxidize the fuel to maintain the chain reaction that sustains the effect that we call life. We usually refer to the mechanism here as metabolism. But cutoff the supply of fuel, or interfere with the process and the living object will die, just like a fire.
But we also have another perspective of life we call consciousness that many like to mystify. This again is no mystery. Your brain has some 200 billion neurons that each behave like small slow microprocessors but connected in a massive multi-processor parallel network. The processing power is close to some 20,000 modern day high end computers squeezed into a tiny space. We can’t quite build that paradigm yet either.
This is a very confused question. Immortality simply means something that cannot die. Life does not conform to that idea. Immortal life is merely a nonsense concept created by the idiocy of religion.

And such baseless opinions are of what value?
Well good, so you should be able to understand life fairly easily then.
Why, what is so important about the future? And why would the future care anything about truth? Truth is only important when considered as a value issue by any given person, e.g. truth is likely to be an aid to survival. And feelings and emotions are the essential ingredients of humanity, that and our ability to survive. The religious, and it appears this applies to you as well, demean life and humanity as unimportant in favor of some fantasy super-being. The very essence of what leads religious cults to commit mass suicide or the very violence we see today in terms of religious based terrorism.
