Best Answer - Chosen by AskerThe problem with the logic of applying the test of life is that all the details you have provided are not generated or created within the the creature itself. In this case all these characteristics are from external influences or conditions. There are foe dubious uses of the english language being applied to these terms. evolution - no.

Growth is not reproduction but rather because the water under pressure keeps minerals in solution. When the water comes out of the rock and collects on the stalactite the pressure is reduced and the minerals in solution come out and deposit on the stalactite. The stalactite does not "grow" it accreted.

No evolution, there was no morphing into another creature or anything else, no metamorphosis either. It does not reproduce, another stalactite may form but it is not related to the first stalactite as the first stalactite is not the progenitor.

It does not use energy.

They are not organized however the structure on which they form may have a pattern because rocks are made of minerals which have defined crystal systems and habits.

They do not have homeostasis, they are continually eroding or being deposited.

I believe that covers the absurdity of the logic
