Here is a very good idea on how 'life' could have gotten started on the early Earth. worth a read.

Interesting....Plausible?...Give it a few billion years to cook.....maybe....
Once life gets going in a eco-zone about a stable star, it is off to the races. Simple life adapts to changing conditions and can "encyst" when times get bad and reemerge when good conditions and moisture returns. Complex life is far more environmentally sensitive. However if mobile might seek better conditions, shelter, etc.
Once any form of life is established on a rocky world it is very hard to extinguish completely as the lowest forms arose through vicissitudes of incredible torment.

The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment

Exactly, Richard; and a good reason very few complex lifeforms likely exist in our galaxy. Unfortunately.
