You have no idea whether life began on Earth or whether it came from somewhere else, simply because it was here "early." If anything, "early" life would suggest that it did NOT develop here, since there was little time. You cannot say either way because you don't know the mechanisms for creating life from non-life. Therefore, you have no reason to suggest that life is "likely abundant" in the universe, even microbial life. Perhaps there were special conditions on Mars that caused it to develop, and it traveled here on a meteorite, and those Martian conditions could be extraordinarily unlikely.
