I think the idea that there are hundreds of billions of stars inside of hundreds of billions of galaxies - and so far not one sign of E.T. life points to the impossibility of life forming on its own. In fact, this is a scientific 'law', that life only comes from other living things.
Take the simplest life form theorized to be able to exist. It would need approximately 250 genes. The simplest life forms on earth now are made from extremely complex amounts of information that doesn't work if put together a different way. How do you explain Abiogenesis?
Just on this planet alone, in only a few billion years we have such a huge variety of complex lifeforms from plants, bacteria, insects, fish, humans, etc. For that much complex information to form together into coherent things is like saying every video game, OS, app, business suite, space shuttle programming ever made to date all programmed itself over a short amount of time with magnets pulled over hard drives.
We all know that is impossible - especially in only a few billion years, or with the example of data programs, swipes of a magnet. Even if you tried 1,000 swipes a second for 5 billion years, you still haven't tried all the combinations in one gene - and we are talking about hundreds of millions of genes. It is said that over 90% of every species ever to exist on this planet is extinct - so the real amount of data, coherent data, is staggering. Information Theory shows that simply saying 'evolution + magic pixie dust + many years' isn't nearly enough to explain this amount of data.
