Hm the lifeless universe we observe. Uh unless you include observing earth. Duh. Also, outside of our solar system I’m unaware of “observations” sufficient to determine other planets are lifeless. In fact I’m certain we have no such observations.

In the universe I am sure there is life other than our own.

Naturally occurring, I’m not convinced at all.

This is the point I always make. Life being extremely rare fits every observation we have so far.

The proportion of biomass to mass here on Earth is actually very small. It took life over 3.5 billion years to appear on land. And there are multiple critical events in evolution that occurred only once or very few times.

One thing we do know for sure is that life is possible in the Universe, because we’re here.
