Actually, they're saying finding life analagous to life on Earth is statistically highly improbable. They're correct in stating that our assumptions about extraterrestrial life are based soley on our experience of one planet, our own.

However, if science begins thinking outside the box (we're not even close to being there yet) we may yet find the universe teeming with life, but that life almost certainly won't resemble anything we know now.

So . . . . sorry folks, those little blue-grey humanoid extraterrestrials have very little probabilty of actually existing. If they do exist, they must be something other than space travelers from another planet.

Vertebrate or invertebrate. Of course, there might be other more exotic choices, but that's about it in terms of higher orders. Actually, it's been proved the building blocks of life thrive quite nicely in space, they just need a nice home planet to evolve into something more and the numbers are pointing to maybe a half billion habitable planets in our galaxy. Evolution is cleverer than you are.
