Technically they aren't openminded if they would dismiss the mathematical chances of such an occurance. If the universe has infinite space and billions of stars which means millions of planets in the vastness the possibilities are greater than even our estimations might guess. Our guesses are not even confirmed on that but life can form where there are planets that have suns so the possibilities are very high on other planets. We're learning that at one time Mars was livable, once we found water, micro organisms, Pyramids and more. Theres a new planet we found in our solar system on almost on the outskirts. Theres too much to learn that our lifetimes cannot even understand.
