Odds are strongly against our hope of meeting intelligent life, even life, in this universe. The thought, truly speaking, indicates that our thinking is still as classical (read flat) as it was in the pre-Galileo era. We have not yet conclusively decided whether the universe is random or organic. Convenience, sometimes in science also, takes precedence over logic, unwittingly.
Quantum mechanics changed our thought process radically, but only at the sub-atomic level. Randomness and probability replaced terms like certainty and definiteness. But, still, evolution of life remained an organic process in post- Darwinian science. Seeing that, Einstein’s frustration was not misplaced when he almost gave up on quantum mechanics since it looked to him a game of dice, God will not like to play
How can there be life that is organic in a universe that is otherwise random, bound with no real but probable states and positions of the matter? It would then mean that at a particular point of evolution of the universe, when life came into being the law of randomness changed and the universal evolution turned organic in some corner of the universe. The unified theory of everything can’t be different for the living and the non –living.
The law of randomness would never support or even allow an organic evolution.
The universe itself has to be organic to have organism and as such to have life in it. Its randomness is a truth but half-truth like most of the laws of science.
Universe in itself is organic. There is an organic relationship among its constituents- the mass, energy, space and time. The Mest is thus an organic self, the Cosmic being, the God of many scientists and scientific philosophers. We and to be precise our brain (mind), is at the pinnacle of the organic evolution of this universe. That is cumulatively the Conscious self (Purush) as described in Vedic scriptures.
Our imagination that there can be more such islands habiting life in this endlessly vast universe seems more wishful than a real possibility, resulting out of flat thinking. To have life elsewhere, the conditions ought to be identical to that of the earth. In an organic evolution, that is well nigh impossible. As there is little possibility of being two fully identical organisms ever since the beginning and till the end of the universe, there seems also little chance for existence of an earth like planet, supporting life.
