  1. I don't think it's a matter of that we are alone, I think it's a factor of that we are not advanced enough to see them or they are far more advanced over us that they don't want us to see them, probably because we are not ready. It could also be that the universe is so big that life only develops in rare instances, for all we know, it could be one set of life per galaxy, which if so, there is little to no chance that we could detect them at our current level of tech. What we do know is that life has developed on Earth, and a lot of complex life forms, it's not hard to imagine the same thing could happen in other parts of the universe, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't. In any case, this question is going to keep arising until we do meet an alien race, but if I was an advanced alien race, I would only make contact with the human race once I feel they are ready and have developed enough, so maybe in an 100 or 150 years from now, clearly, we are not ready at the moment because we are too divided and we still think in a very triable way with countries, from an alien perspective, there is no way they would want to make contact with us when we are so divided with around 200 countries, they will likely want to see where we develop before making contact and assuming we survive as a people, which isn't a given yet, in fact, with 200 countries, many of them poking at each other, there are so many things that can go wrong for us as we advanced with technology that it could end up being a rarity that special survive to make contact with another race, in other words, we are a long way from being out of the woods, that an alien race will likely wait and see how things go. But in any event, the more advanced we become, the more likely we are to make contact with alien races
