Reply to comment by jetstobrazil in Is the Milky Way... Normal? by cciccitrixx

The explanation is not necessary, I understand your position, but our understanding of how life emerged is not advanced enough to form any such conclusions based on scale. It is just as likely we're alone. There is zero evidence that life emerged anywhere else.

Well you misstated it, so that’s why included it. I’ve not reached any conclusions, I’m merely stating that it is very strange to pretend that us humans can say the Milky Way is the only galaxy known to contain life, having barely peered elsewhere in the immensity, and knowing so little. There is also zero evidence that life emerged here. Tardigrades can survive in the vacuum of space, so it is just as likely that life came from elsewhere as it spontaneously emerging here.

they survived 10 days in vacuum, that doesn't prove they can survive indefinitely, and panspermia is pseduoscience...
