Bottom line, it isn't splitting hairs to point out that the origin of life and the origins of species are two totally different topics. Because they are fundamentally different, not just some fine detail.

Totally different topics???

Sure, an origin of species thus is perfectly thinkable without life having originated first, right?

Calls for some Dr. Frankenstein action, I guess.
Create the species first, hook them up to a Franklin rod and wait for that life creating powerful thunder bolt...

While an admirer of your grammar skills, you seem to be in over your head in other departments.
Ever thought of asking wiki for hep?

CJ, > There, I addressed your points, such as they were.

Nope, all you did was say, "But that wasn't the topic," or "Where did that come from?" That after a very long diatribe about the definition of splitting hairs.

It's really easy to demonstrate why your original question is nonsensical, "Where is the line between life and non-life?" Just apply it to your own existence.

I'd be quite surprised if you didn't consider yourself to be anything more than a virus.
