Imagine that the universe is not here, but a Void. So this place we're in can exist in one of two states:-
State 1: Void and remaining Void for eternity
State 2: Intelligent, where the 'intelligence' has devised a way of bringing its self into existence.
Only one state can exist, and because we're here (Humans/Aliens), it's state 2 that has been achieved.
If a universe can't support human like intelligence, I'm suggesting it would not exist. Only a universe that supports human/alien like intelligence can exist.
I hope I've explained myself logically!
