We do not, as yet, know how easy it is for single cell organisms to evolve from inorganic components.<BR/><BR/>However, the chances of anything more advanced than this evolving elsewhere than the earth is very close to zero (although in such a massive universe, mathematically not impossible). This is because of the uniqueness of the earth, and all the unique events and fortuitous circumstances that make it unique. Our planet and our solar system are very unusual.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if intelligence is involved in creation and/or evolution then probabilities go out the window.<BR/><BR/>Scientists play up the life elsewhere scenario to get more funding out of the public via their governments.MadPriesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120376342802143188noreply@blogger.com
