requirements for life like us
I agree for the most part and I suspect most astro/cosmo/whatevero - biologists would as well.
However, it can say that certain chemical and energy pathways must exist or how would life eat, excrete, reproduce, etc....
Ours may be one of the most plausable pathways for life given the conditions in this neck of the woods, it certainly appears that way sometimes....
Or it may just be the easiest for us to imagine given it's all we know. Thus the interest in the topic in the first place.....
