You are making an assumption that has nowhere near the information to do so.
If the universe is alive, which is very real possibility unless you can support it being not alive. Then the formation of the universe as it is may have "it's life" as a requirement.
I am making no assumption at all. "The universe is alive" is an hypothesis with absolutely no evidence to support it, and it explains nothing. There is no reason to believe it.
You might as well believe the Flying Spaghetti monster made the universe 7 minutes ago, and now it's al dente.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
