Earth is 4.5 billion years old, give or take, and there are stars in our own galaxy that are much older. I, like many others have stated here, suspect the problem here is distance.
Our own galaxy is huge - billions of stars. Now add the other galaxies, and we see that the universe is much larger than we can comprehend.
Well said. This thread reminds me of the following dialog from the movie Contact (1997).
"Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space."
