Life as we know it can not exist without Proteins. That's why they are called Precursors of Life. So, they are not just special, they are necessary.
A problem with new Life forming is that the precursor organic molecules necessary can not form in an Oxygen atmosphere. Early Earth did not have this problem, but that problem exists today. Even if that wasn't an issue, any new Life forms would start out microscopically and would need millions of years to evolve before you could see it with the naked eye, if it could avoid just becoming food for the Life forms already existing.
What are you talking about? Plenty of life today does not need oxygen for metabolism. Aka, plants. They soak in carbon dioxide and spew out oxygen as byproducts. What conditions today are you talking about? Many deep sea volcanic vents have conditions similar to early Earth. Has any researchers ever discover something like protocells forming in these conditions? Have we ever see signs of life arising out of not life?
Water is also essential to life, can you please show me if your bottle of water will come to life on its own?
