The Universe is approx. 13 billion years old ie. roughly 13 x 10^9. For a portion of the Universe's life it was completely incapable of supporting life, as no solid matter even existed. Currently we are in the Stelliferous era, meaning stars form, burn Hydrogen into heavier atoms, blow up and spew those into the cosmos to form more stars and planets. This phase however will not go on forever.This is just one perspective. Not the only perspective.
The Universe is not just expanding and therefore cooling, but will also go through a number of significant transitions.
When the Stelliferous Era ends, no new stars will form and the Degenerate Era will begin.
Eventually all Galaxies will cease to exist, eventually resulting in the decay of all protons, and therefore even atoms will cease to exist.
The Black Hole Era will take over at which point they are the only thing that remains (including the odd Neutrino blasting into nowhere).
At some point in time even the Black Holes will all evaporate, at which point complete heat death of the Universe will have occurred.
The timespan of the stelliferous era able to support life as we know it is unimaginably short compared to the other eras.
The point Paleo is making is that even our Universe's ability to support life is for a mere blip compared to its entire existence.
Which part of what I wrote above is a "perspective" as opposed to based on verifiable evidence?
How does your world view reconcile with the easily verifiable observations of both an expanding Universe as well as proton decay rate?
There really are only two possible outcomes. Maybe you subscribe to the big crunch outcome instead?
Either way, the lifespan of the Universe is limited.

Life is reasonably well evolved for the universe. The current conditions are a very short-lived state between the super-heated quark-gluon plasma of the Big Bang and a near eternity of slowly evaporating supermassive black holes.Stupidest shit I've ever heard.
Do you think the Earth is flat too? Asking for a friend....
