Guys, here's a question. How do we know how much variation another planet's conditions can vary from our early earth and still bare successful life?
In other words, no-one really knows the acceptable boundaries of the so called goldilock zones. Maybe they are prohibitively narrow?
Maybe the odds compound exponentially if we take into account the necessary(?) climatic changes over the millions of years of early earth evolution and the appearance of oxygen creating simple life as a necessary middle stage for complex life to form?
The only thing in its favour is that we are made of common and abundant elements of the universe so it makes sense that other planets also would as well. But I'm still not convinced that even simple life can spawn as a matter of chemicals and energy in the right proportions with the right temp given enough time (goldilocks specs).
But with a proven sample of 1 of 1, maybe I'm being just as illogical as a theist.
