So many solar systems out there, life evolved in many planets for sure. No proof but no doubt.

Life? Probably. Something that has thinking capabilities? Much more doubtful.

So you're saying out of the trillions upon trillions of stars that the chances are no life can think but us?

I think the odds are that at least one of them does.

There may be countless other planets with intelligent life right now, but... if it took them millions of years to evolve... and they're millions of lightyears away... we might have to wait millions of years for signals to reach Earth from the eldest civilizations in the closest galaxies.

Given the timescales involved and brevity planetary conditions perhaps life is unlikely to observed nearby a star system.

Perhaps instead it is to be observed in energy preserving vessels (i.e. emit nothing) in transit to the next fuel stop (a planetary system). Perhaps dark matter can be explained by the congested highway of these unobservable vessels.
