Due to the principles of self-organization and the intrinsic laws of physics, our universe is destined to evolve intelligent life.

If the fractal organization model is apt, then the universe will be teeming with life on billions of inhabitable planets throughout the galaxies.

Discussions of evolution often focus on how unlikely it was that humans would evolve, based on the trillions of specific and random genetic mutations that brought us here from the primordial soup. Had any of those gone differently then humans may never have evolved.

This only means that it would be extremely unlikely for us to evolve again in the exact same way as before. It says nothing about whether or not intelligent life would still arise had any of the one in a billion chance encounters that led to humanity not have happened.

Self-replication is an inevitable by-product of the universe. Life is an inevitable by-product of the self-replication. Intelligence is an inevitable by-product of life. It had to happen this way.
