What is the probability of life originating on earth?

We know it is anywhere from 0 (originated elsewhere and found its way here) to 1 (originated here and is guaranteed to originate given the conditions). I don't think we have enough data points to determine improbability yet.

What is the probability of life originating in the universe? We know it is definitely greater than 0..

you may like to read about the "rare earth" hypothesis and the "fine tuned universe" theory.

Do you have some books or articles you could suggest?

Call me gen Z but I prefer my knowledge in video form. Can highly recommend PBS Spacetime's coverage of the topics: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7_gcs09iThXybpVgjHZ_7g
