TopicExistence of aliens does not actually make sense since abiogenesis is NOT proven

A) It's incorrect to say that abiogenesis cannot be proven. Don't conflate that fact that it hasn't been proven with permanent inprovability.
B) Even if we're too dumb to prove it, or the conditions for life are too narrow and specific to prove, thay doesn't remotely preclude life from forming elsewhere. Even if the mere formation of life is a one in a billion thing, that means there are likely dozens of circumstances of life in the Milky Way alone and untold trillions of circumstances in the universe.
C) Abiogenesis is not evolution. Evolution, which is extremely well-documented and understood, is what happened after life formed in the first place. There's admittedly a gap in our knowledge one what existed that caused the catalyst from before life to life, but science is about unraveling our ignorances with further study. Even if the root cause of life is ultimately some out of left field thing that hasn't dawned on us, that'd still be abiogensis as the term is really nothing more than a blanket term for studying how life formed.
