On the bright side, this also disproves all the Qanon shit

Did it need it?

At least alien life is a statistical near certainty. Intelligence, FTL, and a general willingness to be sneaky assholes about existing, not so much, but it's probably somewhere out there, compared to a prophet that makes 100 predictions and gets 1 right.

How is it statistically near certainty?

Because the chances of Earth being a one-off are vanishingly small given how large we know the universe to be.

Given how insanely vast the universe is it is still a near statistical certainty their is currently other sapient life out there. The is also an extremely high chance that other sapient civilization lived and went extinct in many different parts of the universe already.
