Why don't we see life form again and over again?
The first life was probably so fragile and simple we would likely not even recognise it if it did appear. We don't know exactly how, or where, life first appeared but nearly all theories suggest simple collections of enzymes in protected environments that slowly gather the mechanisms needed for free-living life over time.

This works in the ancient world because there is no competition so even the simplest and most inefficient replicator is able to reproduce, spread, and advance. Today, any new life would have to compete with existing life which has had billions of years to evolve into highly efficient forms. A new abiogenesis event would simply pass unnoticed, a brief flicker quickly snuffed out by modern life.
