Even the simplest life requires the specific arrangement of a complex sequence in order to carry out the functions for life. In the case of a being that was once alive, the material is already present and arranged. It just needs to be made living again.[...]
LOL... Who the hell did you learn biology from? Dr. Frankenstein?
To you it may appear, that dead body has the same "arrangement" as a living one, but no - as soon as you die, the trillions of bacteria present in your digestive system begin to decompose your organs. Within few hours irreversible changes to the cell structure on a molecular level are so severe, that this "material" can "carry out the functions for life" no better than a compost heap. Cell death can not be undone any more than a house can be "unburned".

Well, let's see, shall we? It took god 9 months to get Jesus from a cell to a baby. Further 15-20 years to form him into an adult human. Seems like this "arrangement" takes a lot of time.
Do an experiment - bake a cake. You'll need all sorts of materials, the knowledge of how to combine them, some time and energy, in order for your creation to carry out the functions of a cake. Done? Good. Now - smash it on the ground. So - since the material is already present and arranged and you made the cake - I imagine you'll also be able to put it back together again, as if nothing happened? I mean - it will require some "repair" but is this any more difficult than the "arrangement" in the first place?
Or, to give another example - what's easier: slowly setting up thousands of dominoes in a continuous line, or making them all stand back up at the same time, after they were all knocked over?
