Off the top of my head I would say something that was alive and had the capacity to reproduced itself.
A rock or a 747 in a junkyard are not alive.

No. Plants are not life.

As I am not a biologist, so my argument has holes. But it is not a big deal.
Every human has different DNA. But we all have human DNA which is different from DNA of other life forms.
But, individual plants of the same species, have very different DNA. In other words, plant species can not be identified by its DNA.
Right? Biology expert.

First plants are not life, and now this (which somehow I missed). Do you enjoy spreading misinformation and making false statements?

I stopped at 10 (the last one is an entire book about the subject), but I can post many others, so, how many links do you want me to post to show that your statement is false?
Note that some of the links above are of companies that will identify plant fragments (to species) based on DNA tests, so if you still don't "believe" that plants can be identified by their DNA, just sent a fragment of a plant of known identity (only to you) to one of those companies and see for yourself. That is how science works, I am not making a statement and asking you to "believe" me. I am giving you an opportunity to see it for yourself.
None of those links say that plants are not a form of life.

I used the links to refute this statement:
As for refuting the statement that plants are not life, this is such basic information that I don't think there is any link that explicitly refutes that. It's like looking for a link to refute someone that says that insects are not animals, or that bats are birds.
Very well.
Such basic information that you are literally the only person I have ever heard assert that plants are not a form of life, and that every single other description of life includes plants?
Although, yes, saying that plants are not life is just as ridiculous as saying that insects are not animals or that bats are birds. The way you phrased that is that you do think plants are life, and that is irrefutable, yet you previously stated that plants are not life.
So which is it? Are plants a form of life? Why or why not?
If you define "evolution", you will find what you said is either meaningless, or is not true.

It was meant as an indignant rhetorical question.
"First plants are not life, and now this (which somehow I missed)[?]"
He was making fun of Juv for thinking that plants were not life.
Thanks, lost in translation, I guess.
Plants aren't real life forms, that's why Noah didn't take them on the ark.

You're making the huge error of reading modern scientific definitions into the text. It very well be that "life" to the Hebrews consisted only of animals.
I don't recognize your name, so I gather you don't frequent these forums very often, but most creationists here take the Bible literally. Some even think that it was written in English, and that it was written for and applies to every culture (past, present and future, everywhere).
I don't subscribe to that view. Whenever you translate something, you're always going to lose or gain some meaning to the text. No two words translate perfectly, connotation for connotation. We have the read the bible in light of the culture at the time it was written.
Why do you state in your signature that Jesus is from Israel then? Israel didn't exist when Jesus was born.
