How so? We are living proof that life can exist. If life could arise here, why could it not theoretically arise elsewhere?
Especially as the universe is as good as infinite -- Palestinian, I do believe that the God of Statistics takes precedence over the "actual God". Statistically, there has got to be another planet with life on it.

Amen. But does that mean we'll ever come in contact with it? Maybe not...
