No, we don't know its possible for life to emerge outside of earth.

I'm not saying it cant. But there is zero evidence that it can.
All I'm saying is that we have an example of life. Which is more than any other point on the list, of which we don't have any examples. No conclusion of anything else.

But youre saying that since it exists here that implies it can exist elsewhere. Thats the fallacy. Theres exactly as much evidence of the FSM as there is life outside earth.

Since we still don't have a sound definition of what life is, the question has little meaning.
Also, I'll back up Aldarion here, we could be unique, we could be ones among many, we just don't know. We could be the first also, or the last life in the universe.

It’s not a fallacy, it’s the Mediocrity Principle.
Applying that principle here IS the fallacy. Life on earth wasnt drawn at random from one of several possible sets. If Earth is the only planet with life, you're drawing from the only set in the universe then deciding it must also apply to other sets.

Well big ponderers and trolls, what are they hiding that they're excluding from even the highest of clearanced IC members?

The fact that there is nothing at all there. Think how hard it would be to explain where all the money went if they had to reveal that there was never any reason for spending any of it.

Nice take.

Any others?
They don't want to reveal how much cake the Interdimensional Cake Eaters actually consume?

These twins have been doing citizen captures off Long Island in thier weird-mobile, have 50+ videos of objects you can see visually, and objects that aren't invisible to the naked eye, many of them in broad daylight in a FAA controlled corridor with active commercial jets in the same airspace. The Feds are knocking on their doors asking for their data.
All birds no doubt.
