I also believe that simple life is quite common throughout the Universe, but that the actual "Origin" of the first organism( may vary depending on the local chemistry and so on) on Different planets share the same kind of origin, but it's not "God", and it's Not just a coincidence based on luck and time but something else all together. I personally believe that Consciousness itself is what creates these first organisms, just like how many experiments have shown that a focused human mind(Consciousness) are able to affect the outcome of "Random number generators" to a great degree, and when they are many the effects is even stronger. So before Consciousness was divided into all these myriads of life forms on Earth it may have been able to do things such as piecing together the first primitive life(simplified). It's the most logical explanation that i can come up with right now. 🙂

Basically just a secondary Earth in the solar system. Buuut then global warming happened and it happened a lot worse than it has on our planet.

For me the exciting thing is it would pretty much confirm what I believe: life is common in the universe. If life is not only found on two planets in our solar system, but one planet is INCREDIBLY hard to survive on, it would basically just be showing us that the odds of life occurring in any system with a stable star aren't just THERE but are quite GOOD. I seriously believe people underestimate how common life is, because it's just a series of chemical reactions so any planet which has the right composition for those reactions for the right amount of time WILL have life on it until some extinction event wipes it all out. It's as inevitable as any other chemical reaction. Combine bleach and ammonia and you get a noxious gas- that doesn't randomly change for no reason. The reaction stops when some other chemical cancels it out, or the reaction is finished. Same logic should apply to life, but for some reason, people seem to think planets capable of forming life can just... randomly not form it. Which makes no sense.
