I meant to say "without a doubt, the body and spirit are alive at the moment of conception".
The spirit doesn't die until a knowledge of good and evil is understood, usually by the law.
Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once [before Paul knew right and wrong - when he was a young child]: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Of course, another way to take that verse would be to consider that Paul thought he was alive, and on his way to glory in the jewish religion, but when the commandment from Jesus came, he saw his sinfulness, and died to self.
