Life in all star systems and outside them

In several articles that I uploaded in fbook and my
blog daniloanton-en.blogspot.com I argued, based on the theoretical approaches
of Thomas Gold and Fred Hoyle, that life is possible in all celestial bodies
with temperatures below 100-200 degrees Celsius . When the surface temperatures
of planets, satellites, asteroids and comets, are very cold (for example, below
50-100 degrees centigrade), the internal heat can melt the ice, generating
accumulations of groundwater that would allow the existence of live organisms.
Liquid wáter es necessary In order for life to be
possible.
This applies to the solar system and all other
analogous star systems and to the independent planetary celestial bodies (rogué
planets) which are not part of any star system.
That is, there would be trillions of planets (may be
in all evolved galaxies) that could potentially harbor living organisms inside
them.
In Mars, for example, there could be living
underground organisms at depths of the order of a few hundred meter or less (where the conditions for liquid water are
given). In the Moon, on Ganymede, Europe (satellites of Jupiter), Titan. Triton
(satellite of Neptune), Pluto and other celestial bodies similar conditions for
liquid water also occur at depths of a few hundred meters or a few kilometers.
That is, life would exist everywhere where the
temperature and pressure are adequate for liquid water to exist.
It is not logically admissible, as it is maintained in
the official geology, that life has originated on Earth or that our planet has
exclusivity in that aspect. These hypotheses (I would say beliefs) that the
Earth is unique in relation to life is the last vestige of ancient geocentrism.
The non-geocentric theory that sustains the
extraterrestrial origin of life is called panspermia.
It is Interesting to reflect on the possible existence
of life in comets. They are small bodies (generally less than 10-20 km in
diameter) that do not have much internal heat but that seem to contain a large
percentage of organic molecules (VERY rich in carbon). Surely comets carry the
basic elements of life and perhaps organisms in dormant or active life,
probably in the form of spores, and in some cases even active or viable
microorganisms. We do not know. But the coherence of nature and the universe
makes us think that life is (almost) everywhere. As Fred Hoyle maintained:
"life is a property of matter" -
