I mean, you can put some very reasonable, scientifically sound assumptions into the Drake Equation and it really starts to look like we might be alone. I had a professor in college that held this view.

But you can also change the variables and it looks like life is common so idk

Id believe in God, like the Christian God, before believing that. It's too unlikely. Whether or not physics works in a way where we can communicate is another, but there's no shot there isn't some form of other sentience in the universe
