Your logic is sound and right. What i'd like to add is that we are hitting a very big wall, when we try to figure out why the universe seems to be infinite(in a material world). Infinite universe could very well mean that we don't exist(life is a dream) or that there is a god and everything we know about the universe is a lie/illusion(although i wouldn't wager more than 5 euro cents on that theory).

I meant to say space was infinite. That defies all logic and rebuffs every scientific explanation we could come up with. But it is so. Unless, of course, you go... "it has always been like that, so we don't need to figure out why it is so" route.

From the link you posted...
"No evidence exists to suggest that the boundary of the observable universe corresponds precisely to the physical boundary of the universe (if such a boundary exists); this is exceedingly..."
Now, if you want to discuss the origin of life, I'd suggest you ask about the origin of the universe as well, the observable and beyond(infinite). Because that's where our logic stops working. How life came to be on our planet was covered in more threads here, than i care to count and if you are interested in it, just use the search option.
