Plenty there about life being created from nonliving substance, at God's command. Thus it is perfectly consistent with a Biblical view that life can come from nonliving matter, at God's command. The science of abiogenesis deals with the conditions and circumstances that might have unfolded in response to God's command for the Oceans and the Earth to bring forth life.

How much more clear can Moses have been regarding what is 'life' in describing flesh man? Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Nothing there about a hot steamy pot wherein a stirring by the Hand of God started life. The 'soul' is what made flesh man alive.

And Solomon that one as described the 'wisest' pens in Ecclesiastes a book about the two bodies 'flesh' and 'soul' says in Chapter 12

1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,

while the evil days =(days of the misfortune: i.e. affliction and death i.e. the days described in following verses.)

come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shall say, 'I have no pleasure in them;'

You can read for yourself the rest of the description of the aging and death of the flesh but I will type verse 7, which is why I came here

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.

8 "Vanity of vanities," saith the preacher; "all is vanity."

Parable. From dust man was raised and to dust he will return. In the fullness of time and using whatever means God wanted he created mankind from “dust”, unliving specs of matter. What is the matter, molecules are not “magic” enough for you?
