We know 'so much' but also know so very little.......and I am most definately a 'believer'.

Do you think we are the only intelligent life form as such or do you think there is something out there?
Maybe. The universe is huge but we don't know how probable it is for life to develop, let alone intelligence - life (in some form) existed on this planet for possibly 3.8 billion years before human intelligence came about.

There is also a theory that if intelligent civilisation formed elsewhere in the universe, say a few billion years after the universe was formed it would have had time to explore (and colonise?) every part of the universe. However there are explanations, if you read into it, why an alien species would choose (or was unable) not to do this.

So I say possibly, but we can't be certain.
