What sort of process turns inorganic matter into what we can call "life"?
How exactly would compounds on a primordial earth turn form primitive forms of life that have evolved to everything we know today?

You have a box of lego with 100 pieces.
Inside 10 pieces are for a car. The other 90 pieces are random junk.
What are the chances, i.e, how long and how hard, must you shake the box for the pieces to assemble into exactly the car you are looking for.

You will find, ironically, that the chances actually exponentially increase as the car gathers the first two pieces and thereafter the rest of the pieces in that series. This includes the adjustment for error if the car breaks apart mid formation from the shaking. Of course, this is because it is easier to push a lego together than pull apart, but that is apt as the universe pushed many things together when what we perceive as pressure increased. Now ask yourself. What shook our box?

Oh bother, don't actually try to use Paley's argument, read The Blind Watchmaker by Ricard Dawkins.

I said that it would need some THING to shake the box, not someone sentient.

? Paley's argument is that all of life is too complex to have not been designed. Your post uses the Boeing 747 Gambit to imply Intelligent Design, and that a car being assembled by just shaking it is incredibly unlikely. Did you read your own post?

What part of shaking a box is intelligent?

Nothing because we dont live in a box and dont need something shaking us for reactions to happen
