While I would say your reasoning is not conclusive, it is a far cry from the point I was making. There is simply no evidence for life beyond Earth, yet for some reason people completely discount the possibility that the Earth is unique. In fact they mock anyone who holds that possibility might be true.
“There is simply no evidence for life beyond Earth”
30 years ago there was no real proof of planets around other stars. What is your point? Because we dont have a method to detect it yet, it means it isn’t there?
“yet for some reason people completely discount the possibility that the Earth is unique. In fact they mock anyone who holds that possibility might be true.”
Because those people are called idiots. They are providing no basis for their position whatsoever. And yes most of the absurd points being made on this thread are being made around some supposed biblical view that God made life only on Earth and people should stop right there....because reasons.

Agree. There is no evidence and it is more than unlikely that we will ever discern otherwise. Reality is so much stranger than fiction.
