there's no logical fallacy in asking why you think the same wouldn't be true elsewhere.
Its far easier to come up with reasons that ET's might hide their presence from us, than to explain why earth would be the only place in all of existence where living beings occupy.
nobody sincerely seeking the truth talks about burden of evidence. that's literally the only talking points atheists have, and they are also big wrong.
You keep presupposing ETs exist yet have provided ZERO evidence they do.
Beyond being in the "Goldilocks zone" or the habitable zone of a star, where conditions may be just right for the existence of liquid water on a planet's surface, several other factors play crucial roles in making life possible on other planets. Some of the key conditions and factors include:
Atmosphere: A planet with a stable and suitable atmosphere is essential for supporting life. The atmosphere protects the planet's surface from harmful radiation, regulates temperature, and plays a vital role in the greenhouse effect, which helps maintain a stable and hospitable climate.
Composition of Atmosphere: The composition of the atmosphere is critical. For life as we know it, an atmosphere that contains the right proportion of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, is essential. These gases play roles in respiration, photosynthesis, and the carbon cycle.
Magnetic Field: Planets with a strong magnetic field are better protected from solar wind and cosmic radiation, which can strip away the atmosphere and make conditions harsh for life. Earth's magnetic field, for instance, helps shield our atmosphere and biosphere from the full impact of solar particles.
Liquid Water: While the presence of liquid water is the primary criterion for defining the habitable zone, it is crucial for life as we know it. Water serves as the medium for biochemical reactions and is essential for cellular functions.
Surface Conditions: The surface conditions of a planet, including temperature, pressure, and geologic activity, can impact the potential for life. Extreme temperatures or pressure could make life difficult or impossible.
Presence of Organic Molecules: Organic molecules are the building blocks of life. The presence of complex organic compounds, such as amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids, increases the likelihood of life's emergence.
Stability and Longevity: For life to develop and evolve, planetary conditions need to be stable over long periods. A planet with a relatively stable environment and a stable host star is more conducive to the emergence and sustenance of life.
Radiation and Stellar Activity: Planets located in star systems with high levels of radiation and frequent solar flares might face challenges in supporting life. Intense radiation can damage DNA and biological structures.
Volcanic Activity and Tectonics: Volcanic activity and tectonic processes can influence the composition of a planet's atmosphere, regulate its climate, and provide essential nutrients to support life.
Potential for Moons: Moons can have a significant impact on a planet's habitability. They can stabilize the planet's rotation, create tidal forces that influence geologic activity, and even provide additional energy source
There are many other factors as well. Planets met that meet this criteria to date: ZERO besides Earth.
It's like you made a hypothesis and you've seen it fail thousands of times using the scientific method and you keep telling everyone "PROOVE IT DOESN'T WORK!" Dumb.
Ummmm atheists can't account for truth or proof without borrowing from the Christian worldview. Even your apologetics is flawed.
disregardihg your last two paragraphs, this is another great summary. but obviously life on earth is quite well suited to life on earth. and while the conditions may be rare, the universe is big enough to allow those conditions to be met countless times.
there are many people who claim to be contactees. the evidence has been piling up for all of human existence. its just not usually in the mainstream news.
what would you accept as evidence?
not crafts, since we have that.
not bodies, since we have that.
not the existence of other earthlike planets, since we have that.
not thousands and thousands of testimonies from contactees and people doing independant research.
you need the whole close encounters ending with 'we come in peace' and a stamp of approval by NASA and mainstream media?
well i don't think you'll have to wait very long...
WHITE HATS control the media, if you haven't noticed.
that means its our frens running the alien narrative.
if one of those things is absent, it doesn't work for humans living unassisted. but the factors clearly make it possible, and it would be silly to assume that what we can observe of the universe is all there is. there are limitless opportunities for even those goldilocks earths to exist.
its long been recognized that the US gov would prefer to avoid the subject. if both the powers on earth and those beyond it have a vested interest in keeping humanity ignorant of ETs, why would you assume it would be common knowledge if they existed?
the evidence hasn't been rubbed in your face like it will be soon, but its all over the place if you're willing to look.

Show me.
None that meet the criteria I listed. If ONE. of those things is absent it doesn't work.
The rest is psyops and demons.
