dhw: Supposing there is no life on any of the habitable planets? Same interpretations: freak versus special choice. Hey ho, nobody can win.

> No, if Earth is the only special place for life, the theists would seem to have the stronger argument. The odds then imply God's hand in the mix.-Not quite. What dhw is driving at is simply that philosophy always allows you to infinitely regress to non-terminating questions. -The trump card for any claim is direct evidence, positive OR negative. Lacking that, no one has any kind of a "strong" case at all: Just speculation.
