there, you're getting too philosophical and abstract.

fire isn't alive, isn't cannot evolve, no evolution... and you're definitely failing biology.

point is that the highschool definition is bs, no biologist uses it, yet you're stubbornly stick to it like a contrarian.

Again. Alive isn't biological.

You're very hung up on only biological things being alive. Which is strange when you yourself said biology has not good definition.

Biology is the study is life.

If it is alive, it is under the purview of Biology.

what you're doing, is trying to fit anything that fits the Highschool definition as alive. and you end up with chemistry rather than life.

You are very hunged up on highschool oversimplifications.

if fire is alive, would using a lighter count as abiogenesis?
