I didn't mean that life couldn't exist *anywhere* in the modern  
universe, just that now it can only exist in relatively scarce oases  
like the earth. My point was once upon a time life could have existed  
everywhere even in the interstellar medium. I believe that it was once  
the rule rather than the exception but then most of it died.

What point are you trying to make with your observation that stars are  
still being formed?
