Single datum that life has appeared at least once on Earth merely sets weakĬonstraints on the minimal probability of abiogenesis. Put on rigorous footing the inference of lower bounds for the probability ofĪbiogenesis, based on current and future evidence. In this paper, we adopt a Bayesian statistical approach to Supposed typicality of what transpired on Earth - is problematic on empirical Uncritically to some version of the ``Principle of Mediocrity'' - namely, the
