There are more stars than grains of sand on a beach. Next time you’re at a beach, pick up one single grain of sand and look at the beach while telling yourself that that grain of sand is the only one with life on it.
You’ll laugh.

There are that many stars?
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.
Clever... But, you don’t know. Is there life on a grain of sand? On a star? Nowhere but here so far... How many angels can dance on the face of that grain of sand?
Your point?
What is truly sad and downright depressing is that even if there is life “out there,”(I’m not talking bacterial, but intelligent life) there is probably very little chance of ever interacting with it. Since nothing travels faster than light, and even at light speed it would take years and years to get to the closest of our stellar neighbors that the whole life exists/doesn’t argument is moot.
The law of averages says we shouldn't exist except for so dang many things going exactly right on a cosmic scale. Changes seemingly equal to a grain of sand on a beach and we wouldn't exist.

tried it and I didn’t laugh, my mind hasn’t changed.
