[ExI] Earth's deep crust could support widespread life

> life developed at hydrothermal vents THEN spread underground?

Because the life around those vents breaths the oxygen produced by the
green plants!

Because those fish and crabs, worms even, adapted there AFTER a long line
of ancestors away of those vents.

Why not rather assume that life evolved in a more life friendly environment
and then conquered the deep, the high, the cold and the hot places. Usually
on the expense of its complexity?
