valid to a point - and similar to one I was going to bring up in one of the 'Alternative Earth' segments, yet there is a distinction to be made between 'ingredients for life' (reasonably well established by the article) and the 'presence of life' (still an unknown.) Also, said life, if it exists, is likely to be of a single cell nature (or equivalent) and very different from life on earth (again, something for a future AE chapter)

Ancient Serbian proverb: “Be humble for you are made of dung. Be noble for you are made of stars.“
