For FFS keep all your religions out of this thread. Please don't bring religion or anything about God here please unless absolutely necessary. We have had enough of those here. The threadstarter is asking for a valid reasoning from Atheists to answer the question.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Everything the threadstarter listed about Earth is what makes life sustain in this planet. If similar circumstances have taken place elsewhere, I am sure life will be present also. Considering that we are made up of star dust, and that this star dust is everywhere in the universe, it is only logical to say that if given the right conditions, life would indeed be alive elsewhere.

If it was a accident, there are several inconsistencies with it. The word "accident" should not be used in this matter. Life evolved in this planet because Earth was made habitable by the natural forces that shaped it during it's formation and the location in space it came to rest on.

Take for example, the atmosphere. It is agreed that atmospheres are present simply due to the turn of natural events that formed a planet. Just because Earth's atmosphere supports/protects lifeforms does not mean that it was created specifically for humans by another entity. Mars has an atmosphere but due to several variables, it currently cannot support life that evolved on planet Earth. I bolded that to show that life forms do not always need oxygen/carbon/nitrogen to survive. So, it's a matter of thinking outside the box and we must be open to all possibities.

Take the planet HD 209458 b for example. It was found that this gas planet has an atmosphere that may have water vapor. Furthermore, it seems to have oxygen and carbon. It is a great finding and more research is being done to try to solidify the initial findings.

IMO, alien life and other Earth-like planets exist...it's is only a matter of us finding them and acknowledgeing their existence with solid scientific proof.

There are so many secrets that we have not figured out here on Earth...and we are already looking into space. We still do not know how elephants communicate with each other over massive distances. We do not know what type of vision animals have (visual, infrared, etc).

Likewise, life on other planets is a 100% possibility and that life may come in many forms. We tend to associate the word "alien" with humanoid lifeforms. But living beings located outside our planet may come in different forms. I am certain that life-forms, both big and small exist all over the universe.
