What I find amazing with this argument is that religious whackos can't get their head around that it took millions of years and MILLIONS of chemical reactions for life to occur on Earth, but they believe that some omnipotent entity that came from nowhere and demands we bow down to it (why, who knows? Biggest ego ever) went abracadabra and we came into being. And let's break it down even further. If he or she did do that, for what purpose? Why invent us at all? As a play thing? Is he or she that bored that they have to have sentient play things to idle his or her time away? It's just laughable that in the 21st century intelligent people still believe in this shit.
I think you are a little confused about this.
We have advanced scientific knowledge of many things in chemistry, physics, biology etc but we have no idea how life was created. It is much more than the right combination of checicals and environmental condition's because we can reproduce those condition's in the lab but yet have been able to create artificial life.
Although chemistry is universal and environmental conditions could exist elsewhere there is the real possibility that life could be unique to earth. Everything else we can observe is sterile. We only know of life on earth. That may change as we explore more of the universe but that is the reality now.
I personally think that it is probable that at least microbial life exist elsewhere. Statistics don't create life but given the sheer number of other star systems in the observable universe it is probably that the same chemistry and environment conditions will be reproduced somewhere else.
However, I am thinking that advanced life may be extremely rare, maybe even unique to the earth.
The Drake Equation that predicts the possibility of life elsewhere is obsolete. There are many factors that are omitted from the equation.
There is a book that scientifically looks at the conditions that were factors that should have been added to the equation. The book is "Rare Earth, Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe" by Peter Ward. It is a great analysis of the unique factors we have on earth that may or may not exist elsewhere.
Rare Earth hypothesis - Wikipedia
The Rare Earth hypothesis argues that the
evolution of biological complexity requires a host of fortuitous circumstances, such as a
galactic habitable zone, a central star and planetary system having the requisite character, the
circumstellar habitable zone, a right sized terrestrial planet, the advantage of a gas giant guardian like Jupiter and a large
natural satellite, conditions needed to ensure the planet has a
magnetosphere and
plate tectonics, the chemistry of the
lithosphere,
atmosphere, and oceans, the role of "evolutionary pumps" such as massive
glaciation and rare
bolide impacts, and whatever led to the appearance of the
eukaryote cell,
sexual reproduction and the
Cambrian explosion of
animal,
plant, and
fungi phyla. The
evolution of human intelligence may have required yet further events, which are extremely unlikely to have happened were it not for the
Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago which saw the decline of
dinosaurs as the dominant terrestrial
vertebrates.
In order for a small rocky planet to support complex life, Ward and Brownlee argue, the values of several variables must fall within narrow ranges. The
universe is so vast that it could contain many Earth-like planets. But if such planets exist, they are likely to be separated from each other by many thousands of
light years. Such distances may preclude communication among any intelligent species evolving on such planets, which would solve the
Fermi paradox: "If extraterrestrial aliens are common, why aren't they obvious?"
