I too saw the program and cringed when Dr. Kaku said that because I
*knew* it would be mis-interpreted.

In scientific context, the terms chance, random and accident mean 'not
pre-determined'.

The topic of the program was-what might life on other planets look like?

What Dr. Kaku ment was that the *specific* course evolution on Earth
took was not pre-determined but rather the result of adaptation to
chance (not pre-determined)environmental conditions.

If life exists on other planets, it would probably be very different
because conditions there (the chance part) would likely be very different.

Huh?
