"Has Cox completed at least a few units of cellular and molecular biology at university? If not, I suggest that his views about the prevalence of life in the universe should be given little weight. You really need to have some tertiary biology to appreciate how 'super high tech' life really is."
Thankfully, some of the greatest amateurs in the history of science ignored arrogant attitudes such as this and built the very foundations of scientific knowledge.
As an aside, I doubt Gregor Mendel (ironically, a physicist) completed any units of cellular or molecular biology.
