I think it's incredibly absurd to definitively conclude that life in the cosmos doesn't exist given the countless number of galaxies and light years (14 billion - most likely more given the recent discovery of the Hurcules-Corona Borealis Great Wall) that we will most likely never touch in our existence. Humanity being a fluke would leave a whole lot of wasted space - and even in the off chance that we are, the idea of more races existing after us is almost a given. We existed, what proves more won't?
