Sure you did. The fact is that life came to exist on earth. Either it was Deus ex machina or somehow inert matter after absorbing energy of various sorts, was transformed into other molecules that came together as organic matter that organized into reproducible entities known as life. Now you can make an argument for deus ex machina if you don’t accept what some call the mystical fairy tale for physicists or the big bang theory. In the end 0x0 is always 0 so just what was at the core of the big bang and how did it get there? There is much mysticism at the center of physics.

“Either it was Deus ex machina or somehow inert matter after absorbing energy of various sorts, was transformed into other molecules that came together as organic matter that organized into reproducible entities known as life.”

We still have not established that it is possible for organic matter to self-organize into life. Just because you can break something down into two possibilities and reason that one must be true, doesn’t mean that you have established that either of those is actually possible or likely to have happened. You can’t just skip a step because you can’t manage to complete it. If you tried that with a mathematical proof and turned it in to your professor, you’d get an “F”, even if you somehow arrived at the correct answer.

The actual correct analysis of the probability of life existing on other planets is that the answer is currently an unknown quantity, since we can’t establish this baseline probability at all, and therefore we cannot evaluate any further equations that would require us to know or at least be able estimate that probability. Any other answer is based on flawed logic at this point.
