False analogy. Bricks and mortar don't reproduce themselves.

Wait a minute Joonyer, give me one reason those bricks couldn't come alive like they did 3.5 million years ago. I believe it was you that said there was no such thing as the law of biogenesis. If living things don't have to come from other living things, then why couldn't the house assemble itself? Please tell me it's because houses have never been observed assembling themselves-- Just like life has never been observed coming from non-life.

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.
