as soon as the basic building blocks and preconditions are present, life evolves If not for that one mutation under specific conditions and abundance of easily freeable oxygen, we’d still be goo in mud today. We were for 1.4 billion years until GOE happened. It doesn’t mean that it cannot happen elsewhere. But there’s no clear linear route from complex acids to democracy. And maybe complex enough life requires a set of very special catastrophes. We can’t write off that we managed to evolve, but we can’t write off the exact procedure either.
