Well, yes...you could say that...but as always, on behalf of the skeptic, I ask:
Where's the evidence?
I'm not asking for "proof", I am merely asking, what are the factors that you would take into account in coming to this belief.
By occam's razor we can conclude that life did come into existence on this planet.
(Be wary of quoting some statistic showing how hugely unlikely it is for life to have evolved on this planet, as such a claim would miss the point entirely!)
(EDIT: I am aware that you, Dragonlich were not actually putting forward this statement (I don't think!), as such, this post isn't directed at you, but rather anyone whowould actually believe such a statement to be true!)
