Foolestroupe, If you are saying that the combination of chemicals create energy, then I think you are in error. What causes them to re-act? What system? ....and where did that come from??..More re-action from....? Somewhere, along the line, there is an 'origin'......

...Oh, and by the way, if you are saying they are 'self-existing'... then you just translated the Hebrew word, Yahweh,...(self existing one)...which means God, (the giver of life)...or the 'I Am'.

I knew you were just kidding! You just had the wrong words!
