> If I were an atheist I would leap on this conclusion with a howl of delight. You don't need abiogenesis ... which I take to mean the hypothesis that life can emerge spontaneously from non-living materials ... to be common. If it is rare, it is believable. The only life we know of is life on Earth, and it is this very uniqueness which for me reduces the probability of abiogenesis to unbelievable odds. If life is found elsewhere ... particularly if it has evolved to advanced forms ... it still won't provide proof of abiogenesis, but it will certainly reduce those odds.-It seems you are turning the rarity of life back on itself. With a 100 billion galaxies and 100 billion stars in each, and with the knowledge that many stars have solar systems, the numbers of planets must be humongous. Therefore chance for life is enormous if the jump from inorganic to organic is common. The paper says it should not be common, but rare. If it is only on Earth then God is real. That is the import of the paper.
