Yep, out of the likely trillions of stars there are some that harbor life, on those, the inhabitants are bound to think “Gee, I must be special.”

It’s just a matter of probability.

Well then, go ahead and work it out.

Even here on life friendly Earth, the ratio of biomass to mass is about 3 parts in 10 billion, and it took 4.5 billion years for modern humans to appear.

To get a probability you must assume somethings.

Trillions of stars? There are 100s of trillions of galaxies - each with 300 million or more stars - you do the math. More over those galaxies span more than 13 billion years or life coming and going on more stars than you could could in a lifetime of counting. Again you do the math.
