First of all, nice use of Monty Python, second, I took AP Chemistry, so I know a fair amount about all this. But the fact is all this stuff that has to come together for a life form to begin is amazing, and its hard to imagine how it started on its own, at all. We'll never know the answer really. Plus, even if there is life outside of our solar system, the question is: Will it be intelligent like us?

The thing is I'm not denying that life could have formed elsewhere, but what I stated points out that fact that the forces of mother nature (which really encompass the entire universe) are so great and so varied, that there are never two mountains like each other, two canyons like each other, no two snowflakes alike, no two stars, planets, asteroids, or veins of gold ever coem out identical. With all this great variation, when something as complicated as the life form comes into play, it cannot be ignored that it is entirely possible that whatever caused life to begin, in the event that a higher power was not in play, could easily have only happened once. Because all we needed, and all we had was a single cell that came to life, and now look at the world we live in. The entire world is one ecosystem, covered in life, both plant, animal, and fungi, and all this was the result of over a billion years of evolution from one single prokaryotic cell. If that doesn't blow your mind, I don't know what will.

The other amazing thing about life is that unlike mother nature's forces, the thing we all share, all living organisms, DNA is able to reproduce a species of life form, and its ability to do that endlessly and result in products that are so similar in structure, in function, and in look is the greatest amazement in the universe. You can argue that no two fingerprints are completely alike, and no two tigers have the same stripe pattern but below, they are so similar, so perfect, that I believe that all that made this come to be could hardly have been the work of anything other than the higher being, but if it was mother nature's doing, it cannot be put away that one single event was all that happened. Our universe was one single event, and explosion of energy that infinitely expands (big bang) and life may just have been a big bang, all we needed was one event, and our earth is the garden of eden (so-to-speak).
