You are correct, is life the rule or the exception. Since life has been found on the earth almost everywhere a person looks, including some very hostile environments, I want to believe it is the rule, not the exception. One of my hopes is, before I die, we find some form of life on another planet. Even if it is just a microbe on Mars I would love to see that.

Not only is God more powerful than we imagine, he's more powerful than we can imagine.

This shows that once life starts on a planet then it becomes pervasive.

Since life is not readily detectable on other planets with supposedly habitable environments it is more likely that no life exists there and that the beginning of life is the exception.
