Kirk,

We all know the Universe is really, really big. Maybe even infinite, maybe
infinite plus one, maybe even double dog infinite. What does that have to do
with abiogenisis? Why don't you tell me how life got started here on Earth,
(that would be real science), then we'll move on to whether or not aliens
exist. (That would be idle speculation).

Let's use this line of reasoning: the oceans are really really big, not
infinite, but really big. At the bottom of the Marianas Trench lives a
society of mermaids, mermen and sea serpents. How do I know this? Because
the oceans are really big! The Earth is also really big, so somewhere on
the vast Tibetan Plateau lives: Bigfoot! Size doesn't matter, it's not a
valid argument. Beliefs without evidence can take you anywhere you want to
go. Ghosts? Doppelgangers, why not?
