90% of our DNA is junk
the universe is wasted space

Well I for one find the hypothesis that intelligent life, or even life full stop is unique to our planet just as intriguing as saying the universe is teeming with life. To say the OPs post has no point or purpose is incorrect.
The idea we could be alone in the vastness of the universe blows my mind, and is entirely possible.

Apparently the professor didn't do so hot in statistics....
If he had, he'd note that the numbers do not lie, and by sheer probability, the Universe is likely teeming with life...that doesn't mean it's teeming with intelligent life, but that isn't what he said.
I'll bet we find conclusive evidence of past life (microbial) on Mars within the year, and confirm Earthlike conditions on an extrasolar system's planet within 5 years.
But what if Druid42 is also correct that extinction maybe the norm,wouldn't that help keep life at a minimum.
Stupid life
There you go, confirming that life must evolve under "earth-like" conditions.
