    Yes.
    Anywhere there is mater energy and law.. life can exist.
    Those are the exact parameters of earth.
    There is life on this planet we did not think possible.
    till we found it next to volcanic vents on the sea floor.
    NO photosynthesis. And not reliant on it.
    Life by filtering metal rich plumes in h2o
    How hard is it to transpose that to a medium that is not h2o.
    not hard at all. [ as a single example]
    Not hard at all, considering the difference of that 'form' of life and
    an eagle.

    It's difficult to prove that our universe didn't come about via random chance though, since we lack any point of comparison. For all we know, the next universe along (dimensionally, temporally, whatever) has totally different, randomly generated physical laws that would render our existence there impossible.

    The same is said of evolution; the numbers of organisms and the timeframe involved are so astronomically that life is hardly even a happy accident, but is almost bound to happen. With a significantly large number of universes, the same could be true. The rules of our universe might seem incredibly convenient to us, but that is because our evolution has taken place in this universe. Were we to enter another, we might find totally different laws of physics, and realise that our evolution within the laws of physics in our own universe to appear much more accidental (before every atom of our body flew off in all directions, of course!)

    Hi

    Yes maybe, science certainly does not discount life forms being based on alternate materials that are similar to carbon such as silicon.

    Humans have certainly started doing interesting things with these materials that could not have been imagined even a few decades ago.

    Yes. one before
    can any show there was no one before .. no none, so shuttup
    dont clag forum with rubbish.
    you cant prove a negative

    there are no randomly generated physical laws
    physical laws cannot be randomly generated.

    occam

    ps it comes down to this
    "can any show there was no one before .. no none, so shuttup"
