Chemistry.

Carbon has unique properties that no other element has. Those of note include its ability to form complex structures with many other elements, its balanced reactivity, its lightness, its abundance, its electronegativity, its affinities, the formation of its molecules, and pretty much everything else. No other element comes close to carbon's versatility. It is a beautiful element.

Seeing as chemistry is the same everywhere, there will only be CHNOPS and artifical lifeforms.
