A biologist from another galaxy might think that automobiles are a dominant form of life on planet Earth. Automobiles move, consume gasoline and oil, and produce wastes. They are sheltered in garages and respond to stimuli. Automobiles age and break down, but new automobiles appear every year. They evolve, changing in appearance from year to year.

What arguments would you use to persuade the alien visitor that cars are not alive?

Organisms need 6 things to be considered living which are, responsiveness to the environment, the ability to reproduce, having a metabolism, being able to breathe, maintaining homeostasis, being able to pass down traits, and made of cells. Cars, do not have the ability to reproduce, do not maintain homeostasis, cannot pass down traits, do not have a metabolism, etc... a living being needs to fit all of the criteria to be considered living. In this case, cars do not fit the criteria.

Knowing this, you would tell the alien about the 6 things needed to be considered a living being. After that, you would tell the criteria that the car does not fit which would then explain how a car is in fact, not a living being.
