The Einsteinum atom wasn't 'created' recently. A Google search reveals
it's a radioactive earth metal that's been around for eons but only
recently 'discovered' by Ghiorso in 1952 and has been added to the
periodic table of elements. Discovery doesn't mean Dynamic Quality. When
an astronomer discovers a 'new' galaxy, it doesn't mean the galaxy was
just 'created.'

Viruses are life forms. They contain DNA.

'Preferences' at the inorganic occur within well-established static
patterns. 'Choices' at this level are predictable, if not directly by
using probability mathematics. Even at the biological level, choices are
pretty much proscribed by static patterns of instinctual behavior.

Examples please. So far as I know, complex chemical reactions follow known
laws of cause and effect which are static patterns.

Again, examples please. What cells are currently evolving as a result of
interaction with the inorganic, or vice versa? The DNA molecule was
created by DQ long ago. Been there, done that.
Example: The Krebs cycle?
From what I can glean from Google, the Krebs cycle is a static pattern if
I ever saw one. Changes, yes, but like a merry-go-round changes. Nothing
evolutionary going on that I can see.
