And scientists said that there was no life in the bottom of the oceans, no life could survive near volcanic chimneys, etc.
Scientists have been wrong many times before. But, those scientists were wrong in areas where they had not done real research; mostly guesswork.
Still, life found near the bottom of the oceans and volcanic chimneys, are of this Earth, and had plenty of time to adapt and thrive. Can't really say the same for the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.

One in a million?
Try one in a quadrillion.
Just because there are trillions of galaxies and perhaps quadrillions of stars, does not mean that the conditions and materials and perfection in alignments would be common, nor would the events needed be necessarily common.
