There is almost certainly no other life elsewhere in the universe.
Evolutionist have dug there own grave on this question. Experts keep extending the universe's age back billions of years and expanding known space. Infinite time and infinite space yet we have had no contact. The aliens ought to be everywhere unless we are arrogant enough to believe we are the first life form created.
Why is it arrogant to accept the evidence currently at hand?: we are the only life in the universe as far as we know. Arrogance will rear its head when we say "we will ignore the evidence whatever it may be."

It sounds like you (arrogantly?) believe we are the first life form created. I'm not so sure about that for a number of reasons:
1. The universe is an awfully big place.
2. Not all life may be intelligent or sufficiently motivated to be technically advanced. There may be only a few civilizations.
3. Faster than light travel may really not be possible, slowing the advance of any race..
4. Civilizatios may die for all kinds of reasons (social, cosmic, self-destruction). I think the jury is still out on the human race.
5. Advanced civilizations may quickly evolve into another form (see my earlier post).
6. They know we're here, but they want to let us develop without interference. Not sure I buy this one, however, any race advanced enough for interstellar travel probably doesn't need whatever meager resources Earth has.
7. Maybe they have been here, we just don't know it yet. Lots of Sci-Fi & psuedo sci-fi books sugest that Aliens had something to do with human evolution.
"Infinite time and infinite space yet we have had no contact. "
We have only been able to detect the most primitive forms of contact for less than 100 years.
Basically, we have existed as a grain of rice in a giant haystack for less than a blink of a cosmic eye - and you're apparently taken the fact that no other life has contacted us as an indication there is no life out there?
I guess it's the whole 'center of the universe' thing - "If we haven't been able to detect it yet, it can't exist"./
We're short timers in the universe - more people would be better served by humbling themselves according to their place in the vastness of the universe. It's not all about earth.
