This is just an assumption, though. Currently we have no concept of if life is bountiful or scarce. For all we know, life could be all over our solar system, just for starters. Spread that across hundreds of billions of galaxies, and more star systems than you can imagine, and it could be that that statement is totally wrong. Or it could be that Earth is the only life in the Universe, though I consider that far less likely.
