After n number of times, you will reproduce the Rolex - NOT. It's never been demonstrated.

Not the case - we aren't looking for a Rolex here. We're looking for any chemical compound which can reproduce and multiply itself. A more suitable comparison can probably be composed, but I'm not sure I'd recognize a successful outcome even if it bit me. Life may take any form.

I was also speaking of the design of the solar system, the earth's rotation, distance from the sun, etc. This is more precise than a Rolex.

Yeah, life continues, to a point, all the while dying and regenerating. The point is that whatever lives, starts dying at inception. Things get better, then worse. A house left unattended will be reclaimed by the earth if left alone. Things left alone don't get better, they get worse.
