So true. The math is against there being even the simplest of unicellular life, much less complex multicellular species. That life anywhere arose by chance is statisically zero. That it would happen more than that is a statistical zero times that.

How’s your multiplication? How well are you familiar with statistical formulae, notation and its uses as you imply?
There are 300 billion stars in this galaxy, each of which likely has one planet; there are at least 100 trillion galaxies, each as large or larger than our own, every star of which has at least one planet. Question: how many planets are there in the currently known Universe?
Do you have a really big hat to talk through?
According to Sir Fred Hoyle, for the most simple life form to emerge from a “primordial soup” by chance would be 10 raised to the power of 40,000 (there are “only” 10 to the 83rd electrons in the known universe). Others have calculated even leser odds for life emerging by chance.
If conditions were such that life could exist here on Earth why couldn’t they exist elsewhere in the universe?
