Rare Earth body of evidence ?
If you referring to the book of that name, then please see here:
(_Rare Earth_ book criticism and flaws)
http://www.lucifer.com/exi-lists/extropians/4116.html
If you are not referring to the book, then I ask if you would
consider the possibility that the newer astronomical
observations/measurements, which many scientists are finding
perplexing, mean, not that the formation of Earth is rare, but that
the previous solar system formation *theories* need updating or
revising. Observations and new data will do that, you know.
I'll have some more more words about this shortly. (working on an
note to post here about Earth's water)
