    There still is the „Early Bird Theory“.

    When you look at us, the Earth, life has formed almost immediately after the conditions where given. On top of that the universe itself isn’t even that old. There is a good chance, that Fermi was right but we are just the first ones.

    … which makes me think that whatever or whoever designed us had some work left to do. You left in some bugs buddy.

      There’s also a theory that we’re too late, and that our existence is like the remaining microbes in a puddle of water in a desert.

      The universe used to be lukewarm with conditions for life to exist everywhere, until it expanded and started cooling.

      On a positive note, this could also mean that life lies dormant everywhere just waiting for the right conditions, so that anywhere that has the right conditions also has life.

        Eh, I don’t buy it.

        Humans are proof that life is still possible in our universe. How could all life have died out when life is still perfectly possible?

        Only way this is possible is if life didn’t adapt (which I don’t see life doing).
