Why would you say such a thing?
Remember there are millions of galaxies with billions of stars meaning there are literally a billion trillion planets.The number of planets in the known universe is beyond our ability to count.
Our own galaxy has several BILLION stars with hundreds of millions of them of the same type as ours.That translates to billions of possibly habitable planets.Of those some,millions HAD to have developed life and hundreds of thousands of those had to have developed intelligent life and thousands of those had to have developed highly intelligent life.And a select few had to have been so successful in evolution to a point so beyond our ability to comprehend.
Simply put our galaxy alone is teaming with as many life bearing planets as there individual life forms on Earth!
The above is a simple breakdown of what the Drake Equation is.

The truth of the matter is we really are not alone!
