Anything to do with the Fermi paradox is going to be very broad speculation. We're discussing the probability of X thing happening when have exactly one instance available.
- marcosdumay 6y agoYet, here we are without even a reasonable speculative explanation. Your #1 is against all the evidence we have. And we have quite a bit of it. Your #2 is a well discussed possibility, but we have evidence of life evolving on Earth from very simple creatures. So placing a severe ceiling on the complexity of that panspermy subject, and removing most of the power from that hypothesis. Granted that it's still a possibility, but we know that nearly all of our evolution happened here on Earth, on roughly the same time that was available for those very simple organism to appear. Your #3 is literally begging the question.
