Life on other planets

Thanx Blue your response. Agree we have a unique set of circumstances
on our planet that has been favourable to life and to evolution, despite
our planets growling at it's interior. The growling caused so many extinctions, but life adapted and changed to cope with it.
It is not life on other planets that concerns me, more, it is the capacity
for it's evolution. Important parameters must be met, not least a hard
radiation block from the local sun, as we have in the ozone layer, orbital
stability provided by a moon such as ours, you know the rest.
But, with so many stars out there, who knows? And given our track record of one advanced race in contact with a less advanced one,
who knows, they may have laws about contact.........
