I don't understand the significance of this.

Quote:Why does only one kind of life exist(carbon based)? Why isn't there life everywhere? I don't know...that is a question that bothers me as well....but I don't think it can be the basis of an argument in support of God.

Chemically, carbon works better than any other element in the range of conditions in an Earth-like environment. There are more compounds of carbon than compounds that don't contain carbon.

We don't know that life isn't ubiquitous in the universe. I suspect that most or all of complex life will be carbon based due to its properties.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
