The universe is huge. Life seems to be unlikely since it's very concentrated. But the universe is very, very big and even if it is unlikely as it seems at the moment, it would be quite weird if it were unlikely to the point of only one living planet existing in 13 billion light years of space and yet we exist.
Fascinating stuff really.
Yeah? But that's an argument against seeing any aliens up close (if you believe in that kind of thing), because presumably they're extremely unlikely too.
They're not there, or they're far away in time and space, with a remaining tiny chance that something incredibly unlikely happened.
