You’re wrong. Read “Privileged Planet” and then report back here and eat crow....
I am not going to read the book. I don’t have time. I did read a synopsis and I see nothing about the book that states that life is only on the Earth. They claim that the conditions for life are exceedingly rare. I am sure they have some theories about that. But we have barely begun to even find extra solar planets let alone map any other solar systems. We are as a matter of fact finding many more planets than scientists expected and planets around binary and trinary systems where many scientists thought we wouldn’t. I am not going to eat crow because of one book by two scientists. They could be wrong and so could I. I was simply saying that if Earth is the only planet with life or one of only a tiny handful in the vastness of the universe it would go against the order of the universe as I have observed it.
