Not just humans, but ANY advanced life.

Except that you're still using earth-based life as a frame of reference. It ignores the possibility that earth seems so open to life because the life forms that appeared happened to be suited for earth-like conditions.

That's not to say that life of some kind could occur on any planet, but it is specious to assume that the only life that could arise anywhere is of the nature found on this planet.

Why is it specious to assume that carbon based life, such as that found here, is the only kind of life possible? WHy is it not specious to assume that the universe teems with some unkown type of life that we have ZERO evidnece for???

Look at the last paragraph of my #256. What do you offer to refute the point of that paragraph?
