yes, because our form of life is based on organic molecules, which contain carbon. It's a specific property of carbon to form carbon-carbon bonds which results in a huge number of different compunds

You are, earthling. After all, the food you eat contains sugars, which is carbon based, proteins, which are carbon based, starches, which are carbon based, vegetables, which are carbon-based, etc. Need CATTBARF from the Planet Pincus say any more?
