DISCLAIMER;
this is all theoretical.
It's based on studies that are not my own, and on my knowledge, and most of this is very hard to proof 100%.
This is using logic, biological and scientific logic, but still purely theoretical.
-just some thoughts of cheesee-
Okay, here's what I think, before I get started;
1; I think alien life exists
2; I think god does not exist (just to make it clear)
Where does life come from?
I think that the origin of all life lies in the universe itself.
I am not very good at putting it into words, but hey I'll try;
(I know this sounds stupid and not very accurate when simplified)
Matter exists out of atoms, that form molecules.
Chemical processes can move the atoms, changing the molecules.
So these atoms (forming molecules) can form structures.
These structures can continue to exist if they are stable, but fall apart or change in any other way if they are not.

Look at a rock.
A rock is a large collection of atoms.
The rock seems pretty stable.
You can stamp on the rock, but you will just hurt your feet.
However, if you put a rock on the floor, and let superhot lava flow towards it slowly, the rock will eventually get caught up in the lava, and it will not be a rock anymore.
In other words, the structure seems stable, but eventually fails.

Now look at a dog.
A dog is also a large collection of atoms.
The dog moves around alot, so seems a bit less stable.
You can stamp on the dog, and (sadly) the dog will probably get hurt.
(sounds so cruel but trust me it's just an example x_x)
However, if you put a dog on the floor, and let superhot lava flow towards it slowly, the dog will notice and go away.
In other words, the dog seems less stable, but eventually the structure survives.

This is how I like to look at life.
Even at a small scale, life is different than non-life; it's a different kind of structure.
Instead of just being stable, it moves around, but that can be good for it.
With the stamping and lava logic,
those two types of structures will come naturally.
Do you know what I mean?
The way structures work just allows them to go in two directions;
1. Stable but not living.
2. Unstable but living.
The living is the eating of other atoms and mutiplying;
this way the structure continues and improves, whereas the stable structure just is.
With this logic I think life is all around the universe.
It bascily has to be.
So why aren't we seeing it? Why aren't we being contacted by intelligent aliens?
Well, I think the answer is that life is everywhere, but it's all very different;
we assume life to be a cell with RNA/DNA, but alien life may work completely differently, it may even be much much slower than life on earth.
We already know life doesn't have to be a cell; look at viruses (though some people refuse to call them life).
This is just what I think.
It sounds stupid simplified like this, but I hope you see what I mean ;)
