Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life--every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart.

I think there is a lot of arrogance in that statement. It assumes the
only life forms possible are those like we have on earth.
I think life is like a fire. It is fairly hard to get started but once
you get it going, it is hard to stop.

There is some merit to the idea that comets can seed a planet with
life or the precursors of life. The proof would be finding a comet
with something living on it.

The real hang up is you have to believe in evolution.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson had a wonderfully humorous tweet yesterday:

On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would
transform the world. Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec 25, 1642
