  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?

    there’s no biological definition for life.

    Biology is the study is life.

    Do you see how that doesn’t work?

    Biologissts called themselves the study of life, some 200 years ago. They did so with very little knowledge, and lots of ambition. Also known as hubris.

      And fire is clearly chemistry and not biology.

      We just study life and don’t bother with the definition, its a “you know it when you see it” kind of thing

        I’m not sure you’re a good advocate for the sciences.
