Fair points through and through; big picture, it would be surprising to me if something else we'd recognize as "life" didn't exist elsewhere in the universe. I just wouldn't go so far as to put money on it being a "fundamental property" of the universe from a strictly objective, statistical view based on what we know for certain in the here and now (which arguably is a needlessly pedantic stance, but eh...).
- kleer001 7y agoI concede, "fundamental property" is a bit more poetic than the strictest version of that term. I'll stand by "inevitable" though, by sheer numbers it just HAS to happen by sheer chance alone (or so says my deepest heart of hearts backed up by my brain reading up on state of the art cosmology, biology, and material science).
