    There are plenty of places on earth where life exists in conditions that seem alien compared to the rest of the planet.

    “life finds a way”.

      Right, but that’s not how science works. You need to exhaust all possible explanations before jumping to wild conclusions.

      You don’t say, “What’s that in the sky? A UFO? Must be aliens!” when there are hundreds, of not thousands of possible reasons why an observer is unable to identify an aerial phenomena, and none of them involve aliens from another galaxy sent to visit us.
