Earlier quoted context omitted.
Anyway, it was apparently Dirac's view that there is an argument around it: > It could be that it is extremely difficult to start life. It might be that it is so difficult to start a life that it has happened only once among all the planets... Let us consider, just as a conjecture, that the chance of life starting when we have got suitable physical conditions is 10^-100. I don't have any logical reason for proposing…
"It could be ... it might be ... I don't have any logical reason, etc.." Doesn't sounds like much of an argument to me. What it does sound like is someone who has already accepted a conclusion and is grasping for some way, any way to justify it.

#11Given the quote, and given your interpretation of the quote, it seems that you are feeling instead of thinking (you have no hook there to suggest a conclusion is taken). Look at it rationally and it is just that: "If phenomenon P inclines to non-autonomous than adjutant A suggested". Dirac was hardly a feeler - definitely a thinker.
