The probability of producing self replicating peptide chains goes up exponentially in highly excited prebiotic churning oceans rich in amino acids , with billions of different chemical joinings happening at astonishing rates . These first stages of Abiogenesis in the early laboratory of Earth , claimed to be impossible by the creationists could have happened under those conditions in the blink of an eye , given the vastness of the oceans and tidal action of the moon .

Intuition tells us that the lunar tidal component of literally "stirring the soup" is a vital mechanism to speed up the process but could also assume those same early peptide chains would form in any similar early stage planet that undergoes cooling and night/day cycles , with the all basic elements present in the habitable green zone . 100-200bil stars out there and the same amount of planets the latest best guess is there's 50mil planets alone just in the Milky Way Galaxy that fall into that habitable orbit & temperate zone .

The implication is that formation of life though rare statistically because of these necessary criteria being met , happens with certain regularity throughout the Universe . The Elements found here are the same elementals found in any other Galaxy and the same laws of physics apply universally .

Last couple of paragraphs make this clear to more than a reasonable degree
