It's not much of a coincidence in a galaxy with millions of potentially habitable planets, that at least one of them would develop life, and that's witthout considering that there are billions of other galaxies. We don't need UFOs to know this, just excellent telescopes. On this scale, life could be inevitable, yet wherever it arose, to locals who only thought about it superficially, it would seem amazing luck was involved. Yet you never see a lottery winner returning the ticket because the odds against them winning are so unbelievably high...when there's money involved, they get that enough people buy tickets, somebody is going to win.
