I'm a fan of the idea that certain alien species could be based on non-carbon elements or compounds. I think a silicon-based lifeform or a mechanical-lifeform that naturally evolved would be hella cool.
I very much doubt that a mechanical lifeform can evolve naturally.
I can understand doubt, but there is no real obstacle preventing it. Only needs to happen once for it to be true.
