We have a left and right side of the brain, one for creativity and one for logic.
"Gain in entropy always means loss of information, and nothing more"
Wikipedia: Entropy in Thermodynamics and Information Theory
So this spiritual force exists, as it is only present in living organisms. Non-living organisms gain entropy and lose information over time.
Even species of organisms lose entropy and gain information over time as they evolve to adapt to their surroundings through trial-and-error.
Seeing this to be the case, there is obviously something in living organisms that does this purpose, and if there is, then it could break.
Quantitative estimates of the entropy involved in biological evolution demonstrate that there is no conflict between evolution and the second law of thermodynamics.
I went into the mechanics of a theory about how quantum physics is related to entropy loss / information gain in my thesis paper for my Psychology major specifically to make it a separate issue from religion.
As for this theoretical loss in free will, it could happen through mutations due to radiation exposure, or massive inbreeding, or genetic engineering going terribly wrong, to name a few. Possibly even cultural engineering.

They could visit here in order to be exposed to emotions, which they might be lacking (wow this is a different assertion altogether) or I suppose they could recruit some humans to leadership positions... hmm. I'm not sure humans make very good leaders, though.
I like to think that spiritual energy and creative energy are the same, but you are right, they very well may not be, although they might overlap in some places.

Or only one may actually exist .. although I would not call creativity "energy", mostly because it's not.

I really have to disagree here. When you have a living organism, like a plant, it takes energy from the sun and converts it into order, you know, growing leaves, roots, etc.
But the total entropy (disorder) in the system always increases.
This sounds to me suspiciously similar to how energy works in things like engines or hydroelectric dams - there is always an efficiency rating.
Although I guess you could call it creative entropy? Or entropy manipulation? That might be a lot more accurate, now that I think about it.edit on 11-6-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)

Sorry for not taking you very seriously here, but honestly? How could I?
I am not saying that the greys do not exist (although I think the ones that kidnapp etc. are highly unlikely) but speculating about their "psychology" is completely useless. And you´re not speculating about psychology, you open up a whole new level by saying that the somehow lost their creativity.
Just... why?
