It goes against the idea that life first or only happened here. Many hold one or both of those views. Many don’t feel as you and I.

The idea that life only happened here is not a scientific belief. There is a belief that the odds are against intelligent life evolving in many places because of the incredible number of different conditions necessary for it. This discovery doesn’t even address that idea.

Can you name any person who would be challenged by this idea, who wouldn’t be challenged by any scientific idea of life’s beginning?
