Anyway, hydrothermal vents have crushing pressure, lethal temperatures and a less than favourable P.H. but that doesn't stop life there. Perhaps it doesn't know it's not supposed to be thriving.
Anyway, the difference between life out in the Universe and the existence of God is simply.
1) There is no logical or scientific reason to suppose there is a god and
2) There is already a precedence for life in the Universe.
Yes but we have oceans, land and a less hostile atmosphere. It's easier for Abiogenesis to occure. Also, the creatures living near thermol vents may not have originated there. They might have been created in less hostile conditions and evolved.
My point is, there is no definite, conclusive evidence for aliens (except the mars sample but then again nothings conclusive there either) Just like God. I know God is a supernatural being and it's already self evident that life can be created without him but if it cannot be proven with facts I dont support it.
