Scientifically and logically, nonliving things can't make anything, ask a chair to make a robot, most likely it won't get up and make one, if one were to ask who made God, that we cannot answer since our minds are not complex to comprehend that, they are too fragile.

Well there are things in the between world. They are called viruses. They act like they are living in that they reproduce. But they act non-living a lot too. You can see some of the debate that is still currently going on here: http://serc.carleton.edu/microbelife/yellowstone/viruslive.html
Just Google "virus alive" and you will see plenty more. As you can see there are things that are in between living and non-living. The exact way it happened is really up for debate. BUT not understanding the exact mechanism just means that we haven't collected enough info, not that it was magic.

Living things have the ability to replicate themselves by accepting electromagnetic or chemical energy from the environment. Certain free-floating strands of RNA are capable of catalyzing their own replication given raw materials and an energy source; these could tentatively be considered somewhat alive. Get one of these things in an oil/water capsule, and you'd have a protocell.

the definition of life.
internet viruses replicate and interact with their environment, are they alive?
i dont know the definition of life but my guess is they are is some way lacking in it.
at what point something crosses that blurred line is when it becomes life or not life.
not whether it has a 'soul' or not.
frankly im not convinced my 'soul' isnt the only one, and not convinced that even my desk doesnt have a 'soul'
if something gradually becomes more complex until it (after a LOOOOONG period of time) takes on all the characteristics of the definition of life, then it is life

This question is asked every 5 minutes on here. We need some kind of pop-up for it.
If all matter requires a creator, then what created the creator?
If complex matter requires a designer, who designed god (who would be FAR more complex than any of his designs).
You just replace with

On the molecular level there is no distinction between "living" and "non-living". EVERYTHING is just chemical reactions.
All matter is a product of the big-bang.
How and what caused hte big-bang is unknown. Substituting "god" for the unknown relegates your deity to the gaps of human knowledge. I.e. it is a placeholder for future discoveries and never a real or honest answer.

The question assumes that existence requires a cause. Quantum physics says that this is not the case, and backs it up with experimental evidence. It would appear that existence is simply a matter of probability, and therefore no 'maker' is required.

Same question, different questioner.
Check out the link below. It gives an outline of the development of "living" from "non living" matter.

To those who say science will answer this, you don't understand science. This kind of question is not within the realm of science to answer. We're doomed to be debating this until we find out in person.
