It really comes down to point of view and what you accept as "evidence."

No, it doesn't. "Evidence" has a definition which is not dependent on point of view.
There *is* a difference between logically concluded, data-based knowledge and belief without such evidence.

There *is* data-based evidence (I know, that's redundant, but I'm emphasiziong here) that life began on this planet before it (the planet) had finished forming.

It *is* therefore likely that there is life on other planets. Note: likely. Not definitely yes or definitely not, but more likely there is life than not.

There are no data that support the hypothesis for deity. None. If there were, I repeat myself ad nauseum here, we would all know that deity existed and the believers would have no need of faith.
