So among the uncountable amount of stars, there exists no other life forms since there is no proof. The off chance possibility is totally unlikely.

If you can't demonstrate the existence of something, then you are not justified in believing it exists.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech 
Exactly. That, plus the evidence has to be proportionate to the claim. If you were presented with pictures of hoof prints, what would be the most rational explanation (ie the one requiring the fewest assumptions):
A) horse B) zebra C) unicorn Though all of the above fit the evidence, only one of them cannot rationally be concluded without corroboration. Thus taking that conclusion as your starting assumption is neither justified nor rational. Same goes with god claims; the answer to the question "what would you consider evidence" is "whatever supports your claim whilst making the fewest assumptions".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I blame Noah. He was supposed to get ALL of them on his frigging boat!
