[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for the link.

Any "simple life" found on Mars (eventually, it is inevitable) will be earth-life blown into outer space by meteoritic collisions with earth and then blown to Mars by solar wind.

Life is fragile, and Ross' limited parameters are sensible. Bear in mind that it is not the tightness of those limitations, but rather the great number of limiting parameters, which squeezes the odds so unbearably tightly.

The fact that the scientific consensus is that this universe cannot support more than the single life-development planet we live on, and that therefore the only hope is in other universes, is fatal to your speculation.

The fact is that no scientific consensus exists on extraterrestrial life, that is why I use words like prefer.

As far as Dr. Ross' parameters, I am not a cosmologist (although I do know a couple that I may pass the link onto) but I think that several of the parameters are contained in other categories.

For instance he lists "star luminosity change relative to speciation types & rates" at a minuscule .00001%. Aren't some of those odds already contained in the other requirements i.e. mass, age, chemical composition, galaxy configuration, etc. etc.?
