Simple replicating chemicals will do just fine, evolution does not care if they are alive in the sense that we understand or not, it simply favours certain mutations in this replicating chemistry over others.
Everything else that we see as life follows on from that.
Chemicals don't simply replicate into living organisms. If that were the case scientist would be able to create life easily. But, what we have always known and have been able to prove is that life is biogenic.
DNA has a capacity that involves intent.
