Agreed, and there is very likely to be life elsewhere, but that could just as easily evolve entirely independently of us, doesn't mean all life originates from just one place only. All life we know of though (so far) comes from the earth, to assume it must come from 'out there' just because out there is 'big' is to deny the evidence that is all around us.
I am not saying it only originated here and has spread out into the universe, I am saying Earth based life originated here, and if there is any life outside our solar system, it evolved there on it's own.

Hi Everyone, To me---believing that all life has originated here on Earth and then spread out from here is like saying that the Earth is still the center of the solar system or Universe. And----we don't believe that anymore, now do we?? Just my opinion of course.....:-) I'm sure that here are many other planets out there that are warm/wet/ideal/in the right place----we just need to find them, and we will.
