The breath of life is a biblical phrase (Genesis 2:7/6:3). Pneuma is the ancient Greek word for "breath" meaning soul or spirit. Since humans are opposite of photosynthesis in plants (breathing in carbon dioxide and out oxygen ) then our lungs cause our heart to beat. This is opposite of choking and shutting off oxygen which causes the heart to stop. The heart is a muscle that works as a pump delivering oxygen to the body cells. From a zygote to an embryo to a fetus, no oxygen from the lungs has been delivered to the body cells. Only a baby can deliver the breath of life to the body!
