The galaxy maybe. The universe? Fuck no.

Even if we're restricting our scope to just the galaxy, there are somewhere between 350 billion and 500 billion star systems in the Milky Way galaxy alone. The idea that none of them are capable of sustaining life beggars belief. Even if you think Earth is a one-in-a-billion type of planet (and, notably, we've already found other Earth-like planets in other solar systems), that would still give us hundreds of planets capable of sustaining life in the galaxy.

And yet, there's no sign of them. The question - with some potentially disturbing implications - is why not.
