They keep searching - hoping that they can prove that there is no God.

How would finding life on other worlds prove, or disprove whether or not there is a G-d?

Well, “life” occurring on it’s own is very common.

The recipe appears to be: take some “dirt”, add water, make sacrifices to the god - “time”, and viola! Life!

Have never understood why anyone would think the existence of life beyond this infinitesimally small speck in the vastness of space would do anything but magnify the grandeur of God. It would mean the spirit that animates living things is universal, in a literal sense.

There will be no life on any planet if God didn't put it there. It could be 67% water like Earth and there would be no life.

Life doesn't come about from inanimate material.
I believe that Louis Pasteur was the first Scientist to point this out.

The odds against life coming about by chance are 10 to the 100,000th power to one against.
Most scientists agree that anything that is 10 to the 70th power to one against is impossible.

Water doesn't necessarily equal life.

Huh? Finding life on another planet would bring up some extremely interesting and intense theological issues but would BUTTRESS more than deny an argument for God.
