You... you realize that viruses were most likely the first pseudo life there was.... right? They're most likely the reason life exists at all.

Most theories say the beginning of life was bacteria. Aside from the fact the viruses aren't life at all, the only way new genetic information can enter a living creature is through viral injection of cells, where most of it lies dormant. Even at the beginning, there was no way to expand this genetic library.
