I’m not an evolutionist. I don’t think it is simple.
It is easier to evolve a non-living object that has a practical use than a living object whether it be cellular, plant or animal?
If that which is alive is defined as being capable of metabolism, growth, reproduction, irritability, adaption and movement then where does evolution get its beginning? There are simply too many things to have occurred by accident to account for any living thing.
Let’s look at the other side of the question. Why didn’t God create machines that can “live” on places like the Moon or other places in the Solar System where we don’t see life?
