I find it pretty stupid, to be honest.
By all counts, maths, physics, biology, chemistry, there is life anywhere else outside of Earth, period. Unless we really are in a magical fantasy world made by some bored deity playing Sims Universe.
Life develops easily with the right requirements, we know this from quite a lot of evidence. We even recreated genesis by accident, twice, and once on purpose just recently.
We see evolution right in front of us every day, and can even tweak it. We have been doing so for the past few thousand years with farming of crops and animals for the best traits, now we are doing it directly with DNA sculpting.
We know all the chemical and a considerable number of the biological interactions for life that make even the most basic life exist, and how easy it is for them to flourish given a food source.
We know that RNA and DNA are very easy and very stable structures to produce. (how the step from random chemicals to RNA world happened is still out there for now)
We are finding considerably more planets as the months go by, and even rocky ones now.
The solar system is huge, the galaxy is even bigger, the local cluster is MASSIVE, the universe as a whole is unfathomably big.
The maths and evidence quite clearly point to a very high percentage of there being life elsewhere.
In fact, it'd be better to state it as it is impossible for there NOT to be life out there. The numbers are just
It isn't just a hunch, it is basic math and rules that govern the whole of existence.
The only faith we have is faith that these laws exist far out there as well and that we aren't in a deities computer composed of bits.
We can only go with what we know, so it is almost certainly 99.9[repeating to a googol]% likely there is life out there. Complex, probably not as much, but almost certainly life regardless of complexity.
But one then wonders if non-complex life is even worthy of being called life and not just basic molecular interactions.
Would you call a Prion life? A virus? Some say yes, some say no. Either way, these are absolutely certain events outside of our little stars neighborhood.
