  you may define life however you like; the thing I said still makes sense.

  Here I googled it for you

  It is defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, organisation, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction.

  If you’re gonna be on lemmy you should really learn basic definitions or at least learn how to look them up. Then you should go back to your high school and burn it down (without anyone inside) because it completely failed you.

    By that definition, the first life on earth was not alive the first 1 billion years or so, until the complex process of reproduction was invented. Heck, life doesn’t even have to be mobile, can be fused to a rock, even more so than moss or a stromatolith. Metabolism and maybe reaction to stimuli are imo the only real requirements.
