 Life, The Universe and Everything Else
As we see universal symbols and shades of life in ourselves and those around us we are looking at reflections of this spiritual activity that forms the life of God himself and the lower spiritual orders (and he said `let us make man in our image`).
Life does not change willy nilly, although individual changes may well be randomn, famously only those changes making survival of an organism more likely will be perpetuated in the long run.
We can therefore see that human life is part of and springs from the forces that shape the whole universe - the forces that formed our nature, being and therefore our desires and motivations are part of the forces that the great sculptor used to fashion his fabulous work called everything.

One factor in the calculations involves estimating the 'habitable zone' around a particular star, which is the volume of space in which a planet could provide the sort of environment favourable to the type of life we have on Earth.
Life has been found in such inhospitable places as rock inclusions in dry Antarctic valleys and around hydrothermal vents on the deep ocean bed.
Among them were the north polar periphery (where ice melts and re-freezes with the seasons), permafrost in the sub-surface (permafrost on Earth has been found to be teeming with microscopic life), and at the sites of extinct hydrothermal vents.

Examining life, we see that the probability of a single cell of life just popping into existance is so minimally small that it is more reasonable to assume that something caused it, rather than assume that the atoms just randomly fused that way.
Although not steril, to reproduce this life form requires a mate with a like number -- and this means that we need two entities with virtually identical mutations, of opposite sex, surviving to maturity, and finding each other in the same place at the same time.
Furthermore, we know that the less complicated life forms tend to have short life expectancies and are often quite fragile.

Long ago in a planet far away philosophers where questioning what the answer to the question was, so they built a huge, super computer named "Deep Thought." They asked what the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything was, and Deep thought asked for 7.5 million years to think it over.
After the 7.5 million years of thought, Deep thought announced the answer was 42, and that understanding the answer certainly would have been easier if they new what the question was in the first place.

The bulk of the proactive story motion winds up coming from Slartibartfast (early on, which turns out to be a not-so-great fit for that character), Trillian (which finally gives the books' most under-utilized character something to do, and something major) and Arthur.
If this is what Hitchhiker's would've been like on radio or TV in later seasons, we might still be getting the show now, or at least we might have continued to see it for several years.

Tyson shows how scientists are blending astrophysics, geology, chemistry, biology and even paleontology to knit together insights about the structure of the universe, the creation of planets and the foundations of life itself.
In the series' closing scenes, astronomer Sandra Faber of the University of California at Santa Cruz says the story could serve as a "a new version of Genesis" for the scientific age.
In the book and in the TV series (check local listings for air times), Tyson doesn't shrink from explaining the nitty-gritty details behind cosmic background radiation, the search for extrasolar planets, extremophile biology and other frontiers in the quest for origins.
