I don't see a problem
Take a moment to read my post in BigBang/Cosmo. If you are able to grasp my views then I submit that life is an infinite chain of evolution. There is no first life. At some point in the evolution of our planet there existed environments suitable to sustain living creatures so the conditions for evolution presented themselves. We have the scientific precision in our instruments to see what we consider the smallest self-contained units of life. I submit that smallest self-contained unit of life in fact every single smallest self-contained unit of life that we can see because we have the scientific precision to see it is the result of an infinite chain of evolution. Difficult to grasp I agree but if you are able to accept a truly infinite universe with no smallest particle of matter and no smallest unit of time then it follows reason that there can be no smallest unit of energy and no smallest unit of life. Somehow, I don't quite know how, but I believe in my heart it is true, that life is able to evolve from inside the atom into our known universe. If the universe is infinite and time is infinite then given the ability to provide for a habitable environment for an infinite length of time by being able to escape the inevitable destruction of our solar system and planet there is no reason to believe that the chain of evolution that brought our species (and all species) to the points they are at now would cease to continue. Who’s to say what evolution would bring us to a trillion years from now and that oxygen and carbon dioxide would be required parts of our survival.
