no because entropy.

an apple is more like an ice sculpture. energetically far from equilibrium. once reduced to a puddle, the molecules will never spontaneously rearrange into the sculpture. It will just be a puddle. the molecules, yes, will constantly rearrange, into also, a puddle.

there has to be a force to act on them to push them out of equilibrium.

life is a state of matter held far from equilibrium.
