Just need red-ox reactions, lots of heat, long chain capable
atoms, method of capturing and distributing heat,and
electrons, protons, spatial proximity so that chemical reaction
products don’t get diluted away, reproductive techniques,
motility...yeah, doesn’t need much...
I think the study of the products of random chemical
reactions is called geology.
You didn't address the substance of my post. I wasn't debating the parameters of life as we know it I was discussing logic and reason.
Since a scientific definition of life in its essence has not been formulated that can predict the range of forms it can take in advance of discovering them and new forms continue to be found that exceed the parameters of what science considered possible it isn't rational or logical to make sweeping assumptions as to what conditions can and cannot support life. If you like scientific theory bereft of logic and reason you're welcome to it.
