What’s life?
NOUN
the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death:
Pretty easy, huh?
The only portion missing from the definition is ability to know, decide and act willfully.
No naturalistic processes have ever been shown to produce life.
Actually, in the New Testament, there are three terms describing life. Bios, Pusche, and Zoe.
Bios, as you can imagine equates to processes of converting non living compounds or energy into food for edutainment, replication or reproduction. Basic processes that require a design. A plant combining light and elements into carbs etc.
Psyche, or modernly, pscyhe, self or sentient awareness, feeling, knowledge etc.
Zoe, divine or supernatural.
The first two are derived from the last. Nothing happens until something or someone makes it.
Even in nature, we may think a star is undergoing nuclear fusion etc due solely to natural processes, gravity etc.but in fact a start up input of energy, and no, again, nothing happens without cause, was required. In the beginning, God created.....
Even if big bang wad compatible with the creation account, nothing does something. In the abstract, someone did something. Out of nothing.
Zoe, or Divine life as in God, exists outside and greater than the universe he created. It’s his.
