Another challenge to the idea of Darwinian evolution is how common you would expect it to be to find advanced life on other planets, if he Darwinian model were so easy. Even life as advanced or greater than human. But that isn’t proving to be the case at all. In fact, just the opposite evidence is surfacing. We continue to search for the most primitive life forms on any other planet. We are not having a lot of luck! When it comes to advanced life, the odds are unbelievable. It has been worked out to 1 to 10282 odds of there being even one life-supporting body in the universe.

All the work that is being done to show life on other planets in interesting. As I have stated before, part of the problem is that we don’t have a real clue about the origin of life here on earth and so we are going to other planets for the source. It appears miraculous that we have a planet that would support life in the way it does. In fact, here is a use of the word (in quotes, of course) in a paper published by Stanford and MIT physicists that says just that.

"Therefore, livable universes are almost always created by fluctuations into the “miraculous”states discussed above."

Indeed.
