Incredible!
It seems life always finds a way if conditions are there to support it.
It's the rule, not the exception.
There's no reason to think the universe isn't teeming with life.

Quote:Fossil evidence of early life has been discovered in 3.48 billion-year-old hot spring deposits in the Pilbara of Western Australia.

The find by University of NSW scientists pushes back the earliest known existence of inhabited terrestrial hot springs on Earth by 3 billion years.

Until now the world’s oldest evidence for microbial life on land came from 2.7 billion to 2.9 billion-year-old deposits in South Africa containing organic matter-rich ancient soils.

The find also points to the possibility that life existed at sometime on Mars.
