Self-arranging and self replication are actually easy enough to do that
the old definition of life that depends on that have been discarded for
much tighter definitions, Otherwise we would already be able to claim
that we created life.

As an example, lipids, or phospholipids, are a common substance (read
oils) that have the tendency to form into small bilayer spheres that
isolate the interior from the exterior world. Then what is needed is for
the right compounds to get trapped inside that sphere, and maybe
something interesting will happen.

Point is, these things are not some impossible to happen, "just so"
scheme. As time goes on, it looks more and more like on a planet capable
of sustaining life, life will happen.

Now if someone wanted to claim that some entity made that planet that
could support life, then these things happened - that is a different story.

You know, in your particular case, I have been too nice ...

Nothing yet, has been a human creation which even comes close to
mimicking a very lowly virus ...

You are an idiot, all your posts here have only described you sheer
idiot nature in exact detail ... you are loathsome, you are an absolute
idiot, you are something I pick off my shoe when walking my dog and not
paying adequate attention ...

Now, let those who find you different come to the aid of you ego ... I
wipe you off like the chit from my boot ...
