Never heard of him.
He’s the guy who thinks ID is true because a banana is like a can of coke.

No joke, look him up the Ray Comfort Banana man video on YouTube.

The Goldilocks Zone refers to the habitable zone around a star where the temperature is just right - not too hot and not too cold - for liquid water to exist on an planet. Liquid water is essential for life as we know it.

The earth also has an ionosphere which stops lethal gamma rays.

The earth has an atmosphere that prevents the planet from cooking.

The earth has an ocean that moderates the terrestrial temperature.

The earth's geology enables the availability of carbon chemistry.

The earth's atmosphere is rich in oxygen.

This goldilocks planet was designated not just for life but an abundance of life, perhaps even millions of species.

That would be abiogenesis yes.

However, there is no data supporting that idea.

a·bi·o·gen·e·sis
/ˌābīōˈjenəsəs/

noun

  • 1. the original evolution of life or living organisms from inorganic or inanimate substances: "to construct any convincing theory of abiogenesis, we must take into account the condition of the Earth about 4 billion years ago"

  • I guess we can just redefine it as we go, Huh?

Origin Of Life: The Panspermia Theory | Helix Magazine

Directed panspermia
FHC Crick, LE Orgel - Icarus, 1973 - Elsevier
It now seems unlikely that extraterrestrial living organisms could have reached the earth
either as spores driven by the radiation pressure from another star or as living organisms
imbedded in a meteorite. As an alternative to these nineteenth-century mechanisms, we …

Panspermia today
MJ Burchell - International Journal of Astrobiology, 2004 - cambridge.org
Panspermia is the idea that life migrates naturally through space. Although an old idea, there has been much recent theoretical and experimental work developing the idea in recent years. In this review, this progress is considered and placed in context. Ideas concerning …

I said life shuttled in. If you don't understand the difference; that's OK.

I understand perfectly.

Life shuttling in would still be life starting on earth, i.e. abiogenesis. But there is no real support for panspermia in the data.

Now, the scientific hypothesis of abiogenesis in biochemistry is more wellsupported but have a long way to go before its a theory.

Let me guess.....a theory?

Life in icy habitats: new insights supporting panspermia theory
E Parrilli, F Sannino, G Marino, ML Tutino - Rendiconti Lincei, 2011 - Springer
Panspermia theory holds that microbial life is present in space or on bodies like comets or asteroids, and it can be safely delivered to Earth and start life there.

Progress towards the vindication of panspermia
NC Wickramasinghe, M Wainwright, JV Narlikar… - Astrophysics and Space …, 2003 - Springer and Grady, 2000). The theory of panspermia (Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, 1983)
does not address the question of a first origin of life, but only argues for its
continuation once an origin is achieved.

[BOOK] Laboratory studies of stratospheric dust: Relevance to the theory of cometary panspermia
N Miyake - 2008 - orca.cf.ac.uk
This thesis presents results of laboratory investigations of stratospheric dust that have a direct bearing on the theory of cometary panspermia. Chapter 1 deals with the historical backdrop to panspermia theories, with a summary of recent relevant work on comets

I'm referring to an axiom such as; between any two points there exists a straight line between those two points.

That is an axiom because it is impossible to know if a straight line even exists.

You can assume that by observation and measurement that you can understand the universe. That is an assumption. It is unknown whether we will ever understand the universe.

Science is in essence a faith driven paradigm, you must believe that you can derive an understanding of the universe. I for one, am not a believer in this idea; that by observational evidence that we can know the universe.
