There are some common sense rules of thumb about life in the Milky Way. To start with, create a timetable for it that is 14.5 billion years.

In time, I believe that scientists are going to revise that number upwards, again and again. It's my opinion that the known universe is much, much older than people currently believe it is.

Life of the Milky Way galaxy, not the universe. (I did cite the estimated age of the universe, at 14.5, but the Milky Way is less, at 13.2 billion.)
