entropy and its implications on "design"

Another interesting argument is the Fermi paradox. It turns out that the time scale for colonization of the galaxy (given any reasonable assumptions) is tiny compared to the time scale for evolution of intelligent life. Thus, if even one intelligent species was interested in colonizing the galaxy, it would almost certainly have been done by the time we evolved. Yet the galaxy (and in particular, our solar system) seems completely un-colonized. The conclusion is that intelligent life is much more rare (improbable) than popular opinion would suggest.
