Life from Non-Life

So you are arguing that we are in fact, somehow, not alive ? Even though the pure definition of life was, as you said from the get-go, the basic characteristics of a living thing are as follows: -Organization. Living things are have an organized structure to perform a specific function. In particular, a living thing is made up of a single or a group of cell(s). A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of any organism. Okay, we have established this may be possible from non-life. -Homeostasis. A life form would have an ability to keep up its existence, for instance, by regulating its internal environment to keep up a constant or favourable state. It has a survival instinct as it's building block, however it would be illogical to assume that under whatever reason the organism can do this on it's own, just as we can't assume atoms on their own can form ionic and covalent bonds on their own. They are sure built in a way to attract each other but under no circumstances do they all magically attract at all times. There MUST be some bigger force able to wield these attractions and reactions in both simple atoms and micro-organisms -Metabolism. A living thing would be capable of converting energy from chemicals into cellular components through anabolic reactions. It would also be capable of decomposing organic matter through catabolism. -Growth. A living thing grows, i.e. in size or in number. This is simply a result of consuming resources. However, we have already discussed that billions of years ago, for example when oxygen was first released in the air, there were many types of micro-organisms, some who survive using oxygen, nitrogen, etc. Basically, all micro-organisms survived using a different method. This would mean that we would need to have giant bacteria at this point and nothing would be able to survive from such reactions. -Response. An organism has an ability to respond to stimuli or to its environment, usually through a series of metabolic reactions. Again, this has to do with the simple concept of a conscience. I do not know how this happens or how do you believe this works if they came from non-life. They couldn't possibly change their ways like that and have a built-in mechanism of 'survival instincts' -Reproduction. One of the hallmarks of life is the ability to reproduce, i.e. producing a new of its kind. Now this might be possible using energy, but in the very end. -Adaptation. An organism is capable of changing through time to adapt to its environment. Then again, those changes cannot have come out of nowhere, nucleic acid or not. Something bigger must've interfered. In conclusion, life could've not generated with account of 'survival instincts' 'awareness of itself and the environment' and 'the ability to judge (from a surviving point of view). They couldn't've just fallen out of the sky. I would've argued about God, but seeing that you do not necessarily want to accept proof about His existance and such, and it's just your personal view, I went by what I thought were the simplest arguments, logic, which simply implies that if somehow all organisms including micro die on this planet (with my exception, I'm also immortal now just for the sake of science), and then I put 2 rocks together and wait 2 billion years, on these rocks some nucleic acid will appear ? I don't think so.
