Accidental evolutionists have never explained how a batch of chemicals can suddenly obtain a desire to survive.
In order to desire to survive, a living organism must be aware, either consciously or subconsciously, that it is alive.
A living organism must be able to differentiate itself from a pool of chemicals somehow. If there is no distinction of life then why avoid death?
Why would a living organism desire to avoid becoming nonliving chemistry without a distinction between itself and dead chemicals?
Certainly it would be easier to become dead chemicals than to struggle for survival in the midst of all the environmental challenges to living.
A small organism who could be killed by direct sun exposure, for example, would gladly accept death by the sun if death meant no further struggles to avoid the sun. If there was no distinction between living or dead chemicals, then the path of least resistance would be dead chemicals, and no living creature would bother to avoid death.
