The Rare Earth hypothesis argues that the emergence of complex life required a host of fortuitous circumstances,but whos to say our model is the standard?

The emergence of the self-replicating DNA molecule (life) is still a total mystery.

One of the greatest scientific challanges is to figure out how that happened.

Anything that is said about it is guesswork still.

This much is scientifically true though:

That's true but the rare-earth people say something much simpler. "Life on earth took ages to get going, if the earth had not been stable for so many millions of years it would not have evolved as far as us". They then ask "is that long-term stability the norm or something special". Turns out it seems quite special.
