I am appreciative of all responses.
Four elements O,N,C,H are considered essential to all life forms on earth. Certainly c12 or carbon twelve amounts to 98% of all life giving carbon.
System Definition:
A system may be defined as a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole.
At the atomic level every living cell depends on a physical combination of the elements C,N,O, H in building molecules and assemblies of molecules to carry out the tasks that define life from non-life.
A living cell is a conjunction of these four elements at the atomic level in many special physical arrangements which make life possible with the addition of properly directed energy and information based codes and sequences.
A living cell is then a system as defined above whose components at the atomistic level are the operative "elements".
Life at the cell level is irreducibly complex because one cannot remove any of the subsystems/elements C,N,O,H where a subsystem is the entire collection of atoms of a particular type and still have a functioning cell capable of meeting the life process of self replication.
In any extant life form from abiogenesis plus one genetic change to life at present there is no substitute atom which can be used instead of any of the four listed and have replication proceed, stay alive whether the C, the N, the O or the H cell component sets comprising a sub-sysytem.
The cell is then irreducibly complex because none of the four may be removed and the cell remain alive and capable of replication. Neither can the cell be accounted for by gradual steps or changes in which any one of the subsystems is absent in a prior state of evolution and alive capable of replication and capable of evolving into a state where all four subsystems are present and functioning in replicative processes.
Evolution is thus falsified by its own definition of same.
Since the cell is IC and cannot be accounted for by any probable or demonstrable process abiogenesis has not ever been demonstrated or made imaginatively probabilistic producing a state capable of replication in any sense that would ever give rise to the cell we perceive it must have been designed; the cell has been IDed.
