To me, life is local entropy reversal that reproduces. By local entropy reversal, I mean it takes raw materials, carbon dioxide, water ,nitrogen, and trace elements in our case, and using energy, combines to form bonds and patterns. This LOCAL reversal of entropy is what distinguishes life from fire, fire takes complex bonds and breaks them down.
