I have to agree with this. Life is a physical process. It would be weird that the conditions could exist for an ample period of time and the process not to occur.
It does make it interesting however, that the universe doesn't have more obvious signs of life. I would guess that it is all over the place, in all different stages.
On an unrelated note: I was in Northern Michigan last week, and star-gazing a bit. The number of satellites is incredible. I remember just a decade or so ago when they were a noteworthy sighting. Now they are almost an annoyance.
