I've agreed with Dr Carl Sagans comment about that - "if we are the only intelligent life in the universe, its a hell of a waste of space"

So yes I do, statistically it is a certainty.
You first need to look at where the Sun is.

Then, you need to measure the distance between the Sun & Earth.

After that, go see if there are any planets or stars with life on them.

After the scientists and astronomers come up blank, then start to go away from the Sun and keep going & going & going, until the planets and stars are much further away from the Sun.

These planets will be less likely to be inhabitable, since the temperature level of the planet will be so-much below freezing, that the chances of life would be impossible.

Then you go even further away and then you get to understand the word "Impossible" and that is the answer to your question.

OMG - I can't decide if that reply is that reply is absolutely hilarious or something else.

You don't even understand the difference between a solar system and a universe.

You pronounce it "impossible" based on your theory that they are too far away from our sun ??

Other stars depend on our sun for light and energy ?



Clearly you think you are far more knowledgable than Dr Sagan was, who's quote I used and which you highlighted - and then tried to shoot down in order to explain what is possible and impossible in the universe as you think it is.
