That was beautiful fluffy, but I have another flosophy entirely, well a theory or just a religious story and here it is.
 
An untold number of planets throughout the universe occasionally sprout a clever enough organism to kind of step out of nature's treadmill and develop sophisticated self-serving technology.  And once in a billion years or so one of these organisms manages to avoid committing suicide through their own cleverness.  They actually transform themselves from the biological into kind of immortal machine beings that can observe the entire universe in all its vastness.  Around this time they realize that there are other life forms in other parts of the universe who've managed to do the same thing.  Having accomplished all their is for a life form to accomplish, they spend infinity with these other champions of destiny, observing fledgling species of intelligence tottering along the edge of extinction and make bets about which ones will also pull off their miracle...
