I think machine intelligence will evolve and dominate....but that is the subject of another thread.

If history tells us anything it is that life finds a way to take advantage of "wasted" space. The fact that it hasn't yet taken advantage of most of the universe is not unsurprising that given that the universe has only existed but an instance in comparison to its projected lifespan.

The "wasted space" argument is not a compelling argument against the existence of God.
