    It is not statistically unlikely that this planet is the only inhabited one. We do not know at all how likely it is for life to develop. Therefore, we cannot make any statistical statements about its occurrence. All we have are estimates based on arbitrary assumptions.

    Ultimately, whether one assumes the existence of aliens is a question of faith, not statistics.
