You’re going off derivative speculations, without even realizing it. I know it’s difficult, but try to go before that.
Amino acids formed by chemical reactions of elements. Basic chemistry really.
Next lets talk about the different cells that make up the digestive system, the circulatory system, etc.
Now lets talk about all the systems interacting with other systems.
And the solar system, the universe.
Are you that small minded that you quote a chemical reaction? And even that small chemical reaction can have many possible outcomes.
You are a classic example of why “experts” DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT SYSTEMS, BECAUSE IT LEADS TO AN ANSWER YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR.
:-D
Not really.
Every living thing seems to need light infused compounds that we cannot really duplicate. We know supposedly know what the chemical compound is for sugar, e.g., but for some reason man-made sugar doesn't work. We meat-eaters may not directly consum light infused compounds, but all that beef was eating grass and grain.

Bacteria do not necessarily need to eat organic matter. You have those which use photosynthesis. You have simpler bacteria which use chemosynthesis, metabolizing sulfides from volcanic vents (of which there were likely plenty in the early days of the Earth). You also have bacteria which get energy from oxidizing ammonia , and others methane (of which there was lots in the early atmosphere of Earth).
Once there were lots of bacteria, there could arise other cells which got energy by eating bacteria.
No, it is also naturally occurring. Saturn’s moon Titan has oceans of methane and methane rain.
Object Oriented Programming (OOP) gives a good analogy for how creation works. First God created the abstract types (kinds in the English translations) and then He instantiated them. So He creates Man in His own image and then He forms a man out of the earth.
As every programmer knows, when you create the types, they are always “very good”! It is only when they are instantiated that the trouble begins. ;-)
And if a democrat just read this maybe their thinking my"Maybe I picked the wrong side..."
OMG!
How did they know?
I stay awake nights fretting about that.
...not!...
Nope. While living creatures might produce methane, it also occurs naturally. The atmosphere of Jupiter, for example, contains methane, ammonia, and ethane. Are you claiming that there is life there producing it?
You’ve got my vote so far...
You've got way too much time on your hands, Dude!
I hit the impenetrable knowledge wall right after...
First there was nothing...
Then it exploded!
Why else would atheist materialists think it's so all-fired important???
Excellent
I reject your premise. Why at the molecular level?
Why not at the (obvious) atomic level? Better yet, at the fundamental particles level?
Together, of course, with a controlling "database" mapping the reassembly. Think big.
But let's bypass the BS.
If there is an omnipotent God, by definition, anything is possible. Isn't that the essence of the word "omnipotent?"
Yes, for Him.
Plants came first, even in the Genesis creation narrative.
So the first cell “ate” sunlight.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And yet, those planets are decidedly devoid of life.
This is really a great thread.
Cell lives matter. They ate with an EBT card from God.
