With the amount of carbon in the universe, it's impossible for us to be here alone. The reason we see aliens as being very sophisticated (the reason a lot of people think they're not real - they think we're SO advanced) is this:
Look at a chimpanzee. They're basic primates. We see them as stupid animals, but we share 99% of the same DNA. So 1% of our DNA makes us "so much better." Imagine a race of extraterrestrial beings that are say, 5% or even 10% different. They'd see our biggest inventions like we see a chimpanzee smearing shit on a wall.
