You’ve already excluded all but three possible letters (of an already exclusive) alphabet.
It’s the same thing all over again, and I still don’t understand the applicability to either of the two things you offered for context.
Just as a correction to the above, evolutionary biology doesn’t actually rule out multiple instances of life having arisen, unrelated.
It notes common genetics in all known life, and the known mechanism for acquiring common genetics. If we found disparate genetics, or something meaningfully not genetic, not like us and the rest....that wouldn’t effect our populations explanation.
We would still conclude common descent between ourselves and other apes....and between cats, we would simply acknowledge that whatever that new life was....it doesn’t seem to be related to us.
Theories are more resilient than hypothesis, more minor addendums than wholesale revision or rejection. The common descent of species with related genetics is an observation that no observation of an unrelated species without common genetics can effect.
This is part of what we call the laws of heredity. Not a theory or a hypothesis. This is why I consider this diversion to be a doomed objection. It’s use more relevant to topic than its contention.
