    If we can do this from our world, then there is no reason to think that something similar has not been done from innumerable other worlds throughout the universe, an innumerable number of times before -

    "Moreover, there is an infinite number of worlds, some like this world, others unlike it. For the atoms being infinite in number, as has just been proved, are borne ever further in their course. For the atoms out of which a world might arise, or by which a world might be formed, have not all been expended on one world or a finite number of worlds, whether like or unlike this one. Hence there will be nothing to hinder an infinity of worlds." - Epicurus - Letter to Herodotus
