What would you call that Spark, ?
(my words mind you might not be the best description).
Some say in conception we start another life, Cells meet. multiply etc.
So what is the Start, that jump starting spark.
That goes out when we die.

I would call it the Joining of the two Essences (or the two polarities of the ONE Essence), positive and negative, electric and magnetic; where the two become one.
I think "spark" is a pretty good word, though; especially if we look into what a "spark" actually is...transferrance of energy...restoration of balance or stability.

In the Bible, the words translated "spirit" basically mean "breath." But this implies much more than the act of breathing. The Bible writer James, for example, states: "The body without spirit is dead." (James 2:26) Hence, spirit is that which animates the body.
This animating force cannot simply be the breath, or air, moving through the lungs. Why not? Because after breathing stops, life remains in the body cells for a brief period—"for several minutes," according to The World Book Encyclopedia. For this reason, efforts at resuscitation can succeed. But once the SPARK OF LIFE is extinguished from the cells of the body, any efforts to restore life are futile. All the breath, or air, in the world cannot revive even one cell. The spirit, then, is the invisible life-force—the SPARK OF LIFE that keeps the cells and the person alive. This life-force is sustained by breathing.—Job 34:14, 15.
Is that spirit active only in humans? The Bible helps us to reach a sound conclusion in this matter. Wise King Solomon acknowledged that humans and animals "all have but one spirit," and he asked: "Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?" (Ecclesiastes 3:19-21) So animals as well as men are spoken of as having a spirit. How can that be?
The spirit, or life-force, can be compared to the electric current that flows through a machine or an appliance. The invisible electricity may perform various functions, depending on the type of equipment it powers. For example, an electric stove can be made to generate heat, a computer to process information, and a television set to produce images and sound. Yet, the electric current never takes on the features of the equipment it activates. It remains simply a force. Similarly, the life-force does not take on any of the characteristics of the creatures it animates. It has no personality and no thinking ability. Humans and animals "have but one spirit." (Ecclesiastes 3:19) When a person dies, therefore, his spirit does not go on existing in another realm as a spirit creature.

I suppose the spark of an individual's life would be conception, as that is the first moment where their unique genetic code exists. (No ethical significance should be attached to this moment however, for various reasons having nothing to do with this question!)

The soul. Cells are formed when the sperm meets ovum but life is formed the moment the soul takes its palce in the newly formed physical entity. The physical body stops functioning as soon as the soul leaves the body.

When an organism reaches perfection it multiplies. Or chemicals react they basically war until they reach a state of peace. Then they give life and go until the energy is used up.

Matter is the spark.
Just look around. Plants, animals and humans come from the earth and go back to it. All is matter, and without it there is no life. It may change, but as far we know, it never goes out.

The "spark" was the origin of life. Since life began, all life has been connected to that first primordial things that qualified as life.

the confluent interplay of organic matter and electromagnetic forces created in chemical reactions within the human body directed by the genetic code of DNA . is that your interest?
perhaps you should be in the science biology sections.

Interesting question. I don't believe that anyone knows anything for sure.

"He (Allah) it is Who gives life and causes death. And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: "Be!" and it is.
