I have absolutely no doubt that there are life-supporting planets among the billions of billions of billions of stars in the universe, but the closest one is so many millions of light years away that it is irrelevant.
Straw-man argument. Some of those “rules” are simply wrong.
The most “simple” single-celled organism is far too stupendously complex to have “evolved” via random processes. Yet they have unshakable faith in such abiogenesis, “spontaneous generation,” life from lifeless chemicals, something Pasteur disproved a long time ago.
They need to throw lifeless chemicals together and create a “simple” single-celled organism, complete with DNA, etc., and get back with us. Until then, until they perform this laughable impossibility, theirs are just as much faith-based beliefs as Christian’s beliefs are.
Astrobiology: still the only science with zero data.
