and it says nothing about the future, so I don't know why you think "likelihood that life is possible in the future approaches zero". If anything the possibility in the future correlates with it in the past.
Also we are not concerned with life that will start in the future, when we talk about extraterrestrial life, we're talking about now or in the past.

Because usually the assumption in the context of the anthropic principle is that the likelihood of life is small, but the anthropic principle makes it appear as if it's 100%.
