Which defies such being mere chance...

Yeah, a one in 100 billion chance. Happily, there are 100 billion planets in the Milky Way alone, and we're the one. Perfectly within the realm of chance.

And billions of suns and planets in addition. "Chance" vs. astronomical odds testifying to a creator as the logical alternative. Even if intelligent corporeal life is discovered elsewhere the reality is there simply is not evidence that such could by itself. As said,

“If you equate the probability of the birth of a bacteria cell to chance assembly of its atoms, eternity will not suffice to produce one… Faced with the enormous sum of lucky draws behind the success of the evolutionary game, one may legitimately wonder to what extent this success is actually written into the fabric of the universe.” - Christian de Duve. “A Guided Tour of the Living Cell” (Nobel laureate and organic chemist)
But desperate determined anti-theists are refuse to let reality confuse them. Yet some want to be on a pro-God forum.

To the perfect lady, the Fermi Paradox says that if there is other intelligent life in the galaxy, it would be filled with very observable signs of life on other planets.

The galaxy should be full of radio signals from other planets, essentially.

But it’s not.
