Alright, then -- go demonstrate the Random Chemical Abiogenesis of Self-Replicating Cells. I'm making my stand on Pasteur's Law of Biogenesis; feel free to prove me wrong.

If Pasteur's law is "omne vivum e vivo", it's already been proven wrong, if viruses are considered living. That's a different issue from abiogenesis under conditions of the prebiotic earth. But certainly, if you want to create this absurd barrier of a scientific 'law', it's no barrier at all.

Viruses are incapable of living and reproducing outside the host cell. Even if I extend the extremely-generous olive branch of treating Viruses as "self-replicating Life", you can't have Predators without Prey.
