@NinjaQuick That's not how statistics work, close to zero does not mean impossible. The universe is almost infinite, it is much more possible for life to occur given that fact.

and isnt alive on mars

No

My point is remove earth from the equation and it is zero.

As far as you know

the universe is infinite

Life on earth might have came

the observable universe is not

From other place

for there to be an edge to the universe, there would also have to be a barrier, which there just isnt, there couldnt be.

Tbh, alot of Archeobacteria arrives on earth all the time from Comets and meteors. On Europa, the satellite we have in orbit has caught microbes on the camera lens from water jets spraying water up into the upper edges of atmosphere on the camera.

Probably there's just no way to do FTL and we'll just never meet any other species

Literally in a million years

You can try to argue how stats work but the fact is we have one sample, and it is here, excluding it we have zero

there probably is life out there in other solar systems

but we have no way of being certain it exists

so its not certain there is other life

That's a pretty stupid metric ninja

and there is no credible evidence to suggest that their is

the bacteria growth that evolved into multicellular organisms can be found in many harsh conditions. There's still a chance that life would propagate else where

So the odds are the amount of time it takes to form a molecular bond, and how many times that time has passed for every atom in the universe since the start of the universe.

excluding the only evidence of something means that its impossible, that does make logical sense, but its also a pointless thing to say

If you just exclude data you want to you can come to any idiot conclusion you want

I mean if you want to go by that logic ninja

Which for our purposes, is immeasurable

You don't exist

No chance of ninja existing

Checks out

The point were making is that until we have any observations of life elsewhere we have to assume we are the only ones.

Then we have to ask why isn't it everywhere.

because it is, we just cant go there

yet

Because it is simpler to consider the Earth is forced to have life, rather than a natural process at that point.

You guys should go to the debate channel

Because either life is universal, or unique.

<#680587502918041623>

the debate channel has slow mode

which isnt suited to this discussion

works better then

What? Why do we have to assume that? It's better to assume that because the universe is huge and old chances are at least someone else exists somewhere as long as we exist
