That amino acids had formed, becoming eventually self-replicating things called organisms and eventually became fairly complicated structures wasn't apparent until you got fairly close. On a cosmic scale the fate of those structures wasn't even noticeable.
Of course, if one WAS one of those structures, then things like that had a tendency to get noticed. Yet, for the moment, the events that would eventually alter the lives of each and every one of those individuals was not noticed.
