How is that? Do you know what the chances of human beings "happening" were?

I agree that life probably exists elsewhere in the universe... but intelligent life I'm no so convinced. I think there's a good chance, but not that it's a sure thing.
Why? What makes Earth so special? The universe is so incomprehensibly vast that it's quite silly and self-important to think that humans are somehow special.
