Probably, the universe DID exist without any lifeforms, until life developed. Life depends on the universe, but the universe does not depend on life.
(On the other hand, if I were a universe, I certainly would be happy if life came along at some point, so that there finally is someone who notices me.)

Read more on why god made this world and decide for yourself why life forms at all develop-
When a Human Being makes a model, a static one, he initially is very happy over his invention for the first time. What next! He dreams of putting Life into it ... make his model dynamic ... more about as a robot under his absolute command.
Similarly, when the World was made by god, he did not feel happy for there was neither pain nor happiness to be seen anywhere. He put Life into the model and was created a dynamic Universe ... full of inherent powers for one to realize. The so called Life and more particularly the Human Beings are but models for the Omnipotent god for there is no purpose in their creation. Once the Atman the soul within every Human Being "Realizes" self, the existence of that Human Being becomes liberated forever from bondage of Life.
The balance of the Cosmic system always remaining nil ... Atman the soul within which always existed unattached to its manifested form has become free forever. Human being, which is but a cluster of organic compounds gets back to its original form after the Atman the soul within leaves the body ... the Cosmic balance remaining unaffected.
What existed before the big bang to place? Well ... what exists before we puncture a full-blown balloon! From where did all the air in the balloon come from. Try to understand this small Cosmic phenomenon and your doubts about the creation and existence of the Cosmos would become clear. Ether and only ether occupied the huge Cosmos before the occurrence of big bang.
Can you measure the size of the Cosmos? Not possible ... can you trace center of the Cosmos? These are questions the answers of which have been barred from an average Human Being to understand. Every Human Being has the capability to interpret and understand all within the confines of his intelligence based on the use of five senses given to us. To be able to comprehend the answer to the most intricate questions concerning Cosmos is beyond his capability. Only persons who have realized god ... the Arihantas (as in Jainism) are capable of knowing the answers to such questions. To understand the system, where only pure consciousness prevails ... one has to realize self!
Every puny Human Being ... in spite of the physical weaknesses is but all powerful because of an Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Atman the soul within being present within the body ... always and ever ready to guide him on the Cosmic journey. Introspect ... you shall never be able to unveil the truth! Answers to your most potent Query ... as to the size of Cosmos and its center remaining unsatisfied ... you have but to delve deep into the domains of " Bhagvad Gita" and various "Upanishads". You will ultimately learn that the whole World is an illusion, a World of "Maya" ... a mere thought of god!
You realize self ... and the game of god is up! Weird, it may seem ... the Cosmic truth always remains the same. How many of you realize that it is possible to live Life following the path of Truthfulness ... neigh become a symbol of one. Mahatma Gandhi found no reason which required of him to be untruthful in any matter whatsoever. He followed Truthfulness religiously and became a living embodiment of Truthfulness. Riding high on the path of Truthfulness ... we shall one-day unveil the hidden passage to god, the Omnipotent Creator of the Cosmos. More here- http://www.godrealized.org/why_god_made_this_world.html

Of course.
If a giant asteroid were to hit earth tomorrow, wiping out all life on our planet, the universe wouldn't notice at all -- it would keep on doing what it's been doing for the past 14.5 billion years or so, not caring one whit if there is life or not.
There's probably life elsewhere in the universe -- but it's as inconsequential as we are.
