“Whether a life-form is based upon carbon or silicon makes no fundamental difference!”
...
But it makes a huge practical difference:

On the other hand - if one believes in evolution, why would a presence of phosphorous be one of the keys? Things would just evolve differently without it.
...
I have a feeling your definition of evolution doesn’t match the definition of evolution.
Yup—but we may not be the only miracle—there is no limit, last I heard. :-)
Anal proving ! Drilling for phosphorus! ......don’t even want to speculate what fracking is the equivalent of !
The goal of all life is to propagate itself.
Partying is just a bonus.
If God guides life, why would he need to do it in more than one place?
Right on. Basic life requirement. At least one species to snigger when the other protoplasms have to make for the door.
lol
His call, my FRiend... :-)
there are uncountable trillions of galaxies ... each with millions of stars ... life rare? there is life where ever you look on Earth. Counting by parts per billion ... that way you will never see how much life is to be found ... life is only rare in some people’s minds ...
“Phosphorus is formed in supernovae when massive stars explode...”
So this phenomenon has been tested and verified?
Or - do the words “Scientist believe...” need to be inserted?
Counting by parts per billion ... that way you will never see how much life is to be found ... life is only rare in some people’s minds ...

The people who analyze the facts rather than only use their feelings.
I don't think so. It comes from an understanding of nuclear physics which, obviously, they know a thing or two about.
To find alien life, we should cease searching for water in exoplanet atmospheres and immediately begin looking for beer bubbles!
“They would have LED’s..........................”
Some of the silicon in an LED is doped with phosphorous to form the “P” type material.
“They would have LED’s..........................”
Some of the silicon in an LED is doped with phosphorous to form part of the P/N junction.
There are others..................
We inhabit a very rare place and should stop our very childish squabbling over exercising power over our fellows.
The purpose of the universe is to make lead (Pb).
