So rare that 99.999% of all other intelligent life (I'm not saying there is any, please don't put words in my mouth!), won't ever contact any other life.
So yes theists, we are special! (but not in the way you guys think we are)
We underwent miraculous odds to get here so what do we do? Elect Trump in the position of the most powerful man in the known universe!@
Don't really have a point to make ... Just putting it out there.
I think that intelligent life is widespread throughout the Cosmos, at least trillions of advanced civilizations in fact. What makes them so hard to detect is the vastness of space and time and the fact that there is probably no physics beyond the standard model and General Relativity, which means that faster than light travel and/or communication is an absolute impossibility.
