In what way? At what point does self-replicating non-life (molecules and whatnot) shade over into self-replicating life? What separates life from non-life? All biological processes come down to simple chemistry, with nothing magical about them. What differentiates the chemistry going on in a living organism and similar chemistry taking place in a laboratory?
I'm not being facetious here. You said "even a child knows" this stuff, but I contend he doesn't "know" anything in this regard. Neither do you nor do I.
