I'll add what I've been able to observe so far.
Life comes from life. Life doesn't just spontaneously occur.
Where did the first life come from? Thats metaphysics argue on.

To me life is an example of complexity ( a complex system). Complexity tends to be driven by the flow of energy from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration. If the flow is high enough and there is a disturbance factor a complex system will form. Complex systems tend to be very durable as long as the energy flow rate is maintained. Could it be that the flow of energy from a star can only drive drive life to a certain limit of complexity and that limit is not enough to spread threw space. These thoughts come from chaos theory. You could build a religion out of chaos theory.

As to the post about their not really being anything in the universe that is an example of infinity. Humans are uncomfortable with the concept of infinity so we try not to deal with it. We yell and scream at the mathematicians to do something about the infinities. They raise their math wands and make the infinities go away. Then we have theories that kind of work but have holes or a whole set of solutions that aren't observed. But, heh there aren't any infinities to worry about. I believe Steven Hawkings first claim to fame was he made an infinity disappear.

Ill stop here before I really get on a philosophical rant.
