There are some absolute assertions about life that are unquestionable.
1)Life is composed of chemicals and chemical reactions.
2)We are the reference frame when judging what is life, or else the perspective is that of our own.
3)We are a part of the whole system of life. This means we are not a distinct entity.
4)Living systems are more complicated that a simple chemical reaction.
5)Life is inevitable on earth because it happened.
If you combine all these, what is the most obvious way to combine them, providing you have the ability to be as simple and objective as possible at all costs? That life is actually our own specific perspective of some chemical reactions that are naturally occurring and random.
