I’ll bet you a full plate of Mongolian Beef & Rice (with chilli peppers!) that somebody or someTHINGS are living on some of those planets!
What are the odds that they are all empty villas?

If He builds a planet, ‘they’ will come.

"To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow." -- Metrodorus, 4th c BC Greek philosopher
"Heaven and earth are large, yet in the whole of space they are but as a small grain of rice. How unreasonable it would be to suppose that, besides the heaven and earth which we can see, there are no other heavens and no other earths." -- Teng Mu, 13th c AD Chinese philosopher

How many planets and moons does the Solar System have? How many of them have life?

Until you get down to the molecular level and examine the staggering complexity of a single cell.

Humans may one day understand enough about the chemistry of life to create lifeforms in the laboratory but that will not be the same as the long theorized life spontaneously emerging from an uncontrolled primordial soup.

How could a primordial soup in an uncontrolled setting have spontaneously produced living cells?

Yes, a billion years is a long time for a primordial soup to ferment but how in such soup did the inorganic ions of a cell (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, chloride, and bicarbonate) combine with the hundreds of thousands of low molecular weight organic precursors (amino acids, nucleotides, and simple sugars) to form the staggeringly complex carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids which make up a single cell knowing how from day 1 to take in nutrients, process those nutrients, expel waste, reproduce and multiply?
