We have barely sent probes outside of our solar system, how can we make such assumptions about hundreds of millions of other GALAXIES?
I believe life exists wherever it can as we have seen on our own planet be it Sunflowers that bend toward the sun, or tube creatures living in blackened toxic geothermal vent conditions, or worms deeps in caves, etc.
We are lucky, and just smart enough to wonder, but not quite old enough yet to travel between the stars....
Enjoy the wonders of the universe - my money is on life being prevelant throughout various galaxies (they are too massive for life to not find a way somewhere).
Best Regards, Vince
