In terms of RNA viruses arising from chemical reactions, I'll need some scientific proof of this as it appears the origin of viruses is not clear.
"The origins of viruses are unclear: some may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria." Wiki
Who said a virus, or non-cellular life form is necessarily parasitic, and in need of a host to feed on?
The term "virus" has been used loosely to describe a hypothesis for early, pre-cellular life. A virus is not multi-cellular, nor is it unicellular - it's not a cell at all. An early virus-like life form or a form more primitive than this could have fed off of other such life forms, or it may have consumed chemical compounds for energy.
Anything should be regarded as possible, isn't that what you theists say every time your god is denied as unlikely? We do deny it as very, very unlikely, while it's always your side which dumps "impossible" on any ideas which threaten the acceptance of your theism. You really don't know shit about what's possible, nor likely.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
