Because bricks didn't come alive 3.5 billion (that's with a b) years ago. Hell, there weren't any bricks back then. If your understanding of the science of biogenesis is encompassed in your statement, you are arguing with a creationist strawman of the theory of biogenesis.

BTW, what is your definition of life? Are crystals alive? They consume, grow and reproduce. There are lots of self-replicating chemicals out there; are they alive? How about a virus? You see, when you get down to the origins of life, things get a little fuzzy, as we would expect.

yes- B for billion.

What is my definiton of life? Anything that has 3 or more monads.
