life

I have been reading some biology during the last few days. I was amazed by the molecular nature of life. How at the basis of all life are some carbon based molecules interacting with each other. I am sure that some people would count this as a proof of intelligent design or worst still an evidence of a soul. Well they are wrong.
The molecular basis of humans shows that life too follows the rules of physics and chemistry. So if we have a super super super computer and we code an artificial earth in it with all the rules of physics and chemistry. We start the program with the initial conditions of early earth and let it run for a few billion years. Then when we look at the artificial earth it would have life in it with humans running among the chimps. Ofcourse we never would have the computing power to run this experiment.
In conclusion, there is no need for a soul to explain life.
