Here is also a note on the idea of "other life forms" for the sane.
The idea of "other life" within the context of the mathematical probability of its existence, means "any form of life"
When you use incomplete math to estimate the total number of planets in the known universe which might be capable of sustaining life, that does not mean "life" as in "they are capable of intergalactic space travel". It means "any form of life" - i.e. most likely microbial at best.
For any form of life to evolve to that level of advancement where they are capable of traveling across galaxies, it also assumes a large number of mathematical impossibilities are overcome. I.e. that the planet didn't not suffer a catastrophic event during that period of evolution to destroy most life... that the life forms themselves were able to advance to the point of intergalactic travel without destroying themselves and so on and so forth.
The probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe might be a mathematical certainty. The probability of life from outside this solar system evolving to the point that they are capable of visiting this planet is incalculably small.
The odds they came here simply to show a bunch of gut eating savages how to move and align rocks.. uhmm.. you'd need to invent an entirely new form of math to account for how unlikely that is.
