It seems it’s an issue that’s difficult to look at unemotionally.
***I don’t get it. Here’s as much of an unemotional appreciation as you’re gonna see. The response (other than silence) has been along the lines of “surely, there must be away that panspermia works.” IOW, a faith response.

... calculations of 1 in 10^29345 for the formation of an aggregate of proteins minimal for the existence of life are computed on the basis of the left-handed amino acid problem alone.

So the SETI project was off by 29,343 orders of magnitude. It only needs to be off by 50 orders of magnitude to be impossible, by the mathematical definition.

"IOW, a faith response."

Yep and since "faith cometh by hearing" you have to wonder what folks are inclining their ear towards.

"So the SETI project was off by 29,343 orders of magnitude. It only needs to be off by 50 orders of magnitude to be impossible..."

Even in the face of impossible x 500+ someone,somewhere will simply say "nothing is impossible with God' and around it will all go again.
