Not any time soon, and perhaps not within a few hundred years, and perhaps not in a few thousand or a few million years, but....
In time, we will discover that....

WE ARE THE ONLY INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE...
and perhaps the only life anywhere in the universe.
Perhaps, but EVERY STAR is LIFE. Our STAR is LIFE. It is the source of life. Without it , we would not exist.
Every star is a source of life. With the countless numbers of stars in just the 'observable' universe, the possibility that others stars may have provided LIFE to a planet seem rather high.
There may be countless forms of life on other planets. But the space between us all is so far, that we will likely never meet any of them.
Which is probably a good thing.

I'd say the probabilities are against you. WAY against you.
