According to the General Theory of Stellar Metamorphosis, life is a direct by-product of star evolution. This means that all the gravitational potential energy of a very young star can be (is) used to provide the energy for creating life from scratch. All we have to do is calculate the total GPE of a star to completely disintegrate and give an estimate of how much energy is needed. This number is its gravitational binding energy, which for the Sun is 2.2 * 10^41 Joules.
The vast amount of energy needed to create life from scratch is mostly waste/exhaust energy. The creation of life is probably the most energy inefficient process in the universe. As a star gravitationally collapses, the gravitational potential energy of the star is transformed into friction, heat, electrical, chemical, etc. energy. This is called energy transformation and is essential to taking the total energy of a collapsing star, and converting it into more and more complex chemical/biological products. Unfortunately, (or fortunately), since the 2nd law of thermodynamics requires there to be an enormous heat sink for the vast amount of extra entropy produced, it becomes necessary to remove the majority of the star’s power in a manner consistent with the production of the chemicals and biological processes involved in life formation from scratch.
In other words, the fact that the stars shine is direct observational evidence that the chemicals required to form life from scratch are being produced. Complexity of the chemicals is increasing as the extra/unneeded enthalpy is removed. The entropic cost of life formation is paid by the star shining and flaring. The origin of life is a direct result of a star going though its evolution into a smaller, less mass, cooler star, and transitioning into a more solid structure with a tame, mostly life hosting capacity, from a not so tame, violent and toxic past.
Keep this in mind when you observe objects like Jupiter/Neptune or the Sun. They are toxic, violent and way too hot now, this does not mean the precursors to life and the origins of life are not in full swing. Instead of classifying stars, we should understand that they are metamorphic in nature, all the way to Mercury sized, rocky, metal cored balls, with no magnetic field, and everything in between. The mass of stars is lost as they gravitationally collapse, all the observations show us this, this means that gravitational potential energy is essentially to the creation of life from scratch.
