No one has been able to figure out a rule or set of rules that chemicals follow where they automatically form themselves into complex living organisms. And even the simplest living thing is remarkably complex.

There are about 300 sextillion stars in the universe (300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). That is 3 followed by 23 zeros [1]. Yes, this is just stars, it's not even counting all of the planets going around each and every one of them. Among all of those stars there are billions of planets which are able to be lived on [2]. By livable, yes, I do mean Earth-like planets... Also, remember there is evolution which allows a species to adapt to a new environment. So what are the chances that there is absolutely NO life in the universe but us? How can anyone possibly think this?

Well, this won't explain complex organisms, but the chemical origins of life are certainly better than nothing.
