Biology (what and who are we?)?

Question

What makes us different from non-living matter?

How do you think life started?

Answer 1

I believe life started with a microbe or perhaps something smaller.  What makes us different from non-living matter is that we  can affect our environment.  Living matter can organize non-living matter.

Answer 2

We are parasites on this planet and soon we will have eaten up all of its resources, and as others have done in the past we all will be gone. The plant life will continue but humans wont. Should be a nice place to live then.
