So your point is to insult anyone who has a different view? It’s not a “threat”, just a waste. Even if accidental life were possible, the probability that it occurred on Earth and also the next planet over is zero or close to it.

So why make such an unlikely event, even if you believe life could happen by accident, the “focus” of space exploration? Simple - a desperate attempt to prop up the belief that life on earth began by accident in a protein soup a billion years ago.

So why make such an unlikely event the “focus” of space exploration?

Because the emergence of life is the most incredible phenomenon on the earth, and as far as we know, in the universe. And science would like to know if it actually has occurred elsewhere.
