You mean pop scientists in the sensational and profit driven media
it’s extremely likely statistically given the size of the universe.
People stay leaving time out of the equation. But furthermore, no lab that studies exo planets even agrees on a definition for “earth like.” IMO the search for life in outer space is a pathological search for ourselves as much as it is an actual inquiry.

I know real not-pop-at-all scientists who say the same, but in a much less sensationalized way. Thing is, this kind of discussion is ± irrelevant for now bc it is unlikely we will find anything, even in “earth-like” planets (i.e. telluric planets with a significant amount of water and oxigen in its composition)

Who knows what we might find. It’s an exciting time for astronomy at least.
