That's a load of horsecrap. The first life developed under anaerobic conditions and would actually have died in an oxy/nitro atmosphere.
Point is good.

Good point. Also, sunlight is not be necessary. There is a lot of tidal heating of the Jovian moons, so there may well be things similar to undersea vents there. Undersea vents on the Earth support life without sunlight.
