Where did I lie? If you are going to make stupid accusation,s I believe this forum requires you to back those up with some facts.
Where did I say that you lied ?

Crashfrog clearly distorted the facts by butchering up quotes to make it look as if some evolutionists actually said they don't have a believe in alien life. that is a lie, and now you are repeating it.
As i stated, we can see that he did not do so. If you read the posts you will see that the belief was typically expressed in terms of likelihood based on evidence that we DO have.,

Furthermore, I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that numbers make your case. Let's look at numbers for a second. In all the time that man has been here, and that there is a written history of the world, have we EVER witnessed life forming from non-life? Even once?
How would we observe life coming from non-life ? While I would agree that it has not happened it has nothing to do with direct observation (since that is hopelessly impractical).
But the numbers mean that your argument CANNOT work. You can never argue from such an observation that it is UNLIKELY that life would form at least once on an Earth-like planet give time equal to the age of the Earth. The vast number of planets that are (probably) out there mean that we can allow for life being far less probable than you could possibly establish with such an argument, even if you used the whole age of the Earth and not the far smaller time that man has existed.
And even worse for your case, how life came about does not matter. Unless you can make a case that the source of Earthly life could or would only generate life here and nowhere else - and that there are no similar sources that could generate life elsewhere it does not matter. The question is about whether life exists elsewhere, not how it came about.
