real simple.
Look at the PT.
Look at life as we know it.
Look at where "carbon" and 'water" are formed. Look at the temperatures they can interact with each other and "stuff" around them.
These interactions are less than 10% of the known universe.
Your sample size of one does not fit observation. Even at the most basic level of "how do we know". There is more than one "place" these interactions can take place.
