Default Re: Book: Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe

Correct.
The last point is the part I am failing ro acknowledge or cannot comprehend.

"That we notice them here on Earth tells us nothing beyond the fact that those conditions are possible."

I think the conditions present on Earth can tell us a lot more than just that they're possible. This seems like a big cop out to me.

by looking at the finished product we can gather certain things about it. This is the same for all products that have been intelligently designed. You wouldn't accept that a car just fell together, you know that it was designed. Well, the the odds against a car forming are far higher than intelligent life forming from dumb matter. Yet, you insist that these coincidences are just a fluke. This is a point that you can't seem to comprehend or fail to acknowledge.
