Based on the fact that however rare the conditions of life are the vastness of the universe(s) is so large that it would be virtually impossible for this to be the only planet with life. However unlikely life is the size of the universe(s) is far greater.... we haven't come into contact with life but that's easily explained by the vastness of the universe + life being rare therefore making huge vast amounts of space between us and all the other life in the universe.
For this to be the only planet with life in the entire universe or universes that exist seems one of the most absurdly unlikely things imaginable, it must be about as unlikely as God existing the odds are so small. It's basically zero.
I would consider the claim of no life in the entire universe(s) besides life on this planet to be a claim as extraordinary as a claim for a supernatural being of some kind, and I think it would require pretty much equally extraordinary evidence. In both cases we are dealing with something with a probability next to zero. Chance God exists= almost zero. Chance we are alone in the entire universe(s) on this one tiny tiny little planet in the most gigantic vastness that is the entire universe(s) = almost zero.
You really have to think about how big the universe is and how small the earth is and the fact there may be other universes too.
