So far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist.
Why haven't we heard from them?
Perhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance.
Perhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that just flew by may be a surveillance craft.
Perhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa.
Perhaps they existed a million years ago and died out.
Perhaps they will exist a million years from now.
It is really impossible to know for sure.
The Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

Yes. Check out Drake's Equation:

Basically it is a mathematical equation stating the impossibility of aliens not existing.

Why do human beings ask those unanswerable questions? at the starting up your question is particularly subjective and is going on the inspiration that God exists......it is your first mistake by using the indisputable fact that premise on my own can not be shown. For arguments sake shall we are saying God will be shown and he does exist, now we ought to respond to did he create extraterrestrial beings...... nicely that is yet another no longer conceivable question to respond to because it means that extraterrestrial beings exist which once lower back can not be shown. once lower back for arguments sake enable's say God and extraterrestrial beings both exist and they have both been shown to exist, nicely we nevertheless can no longer answer your question because even notwithstanding extraterrestrial beings exist it would not unavoidably advise that God has created them....What if there are different Gods, and those God's have created diverse beings on diverse planets.....There are in simple terms too many variables to imagine about and regardless of in case you should exercising consultation all the variables you should no longer tutor or disprove a unmarried one among them. finally I absolutely ought to attack you very last premise that God has created each thing......This once lower back can not be shown and is yet another variable that you would ought to characteristic into the entire equation, making an already no longer conceivable premise only a tad bit crazier! to any extent further ask a question that could no longer subjective, that could no longer bias in its formation, that could no longer no longer conceivable to respond to........then you receives some high quality solutions!

I wouldn't say that I'm absolutely, 100% convinced that there are other intelligent life forms somewhere out there. But, the Universe is so vast that it is unlikely that we are the only planet upon which life has evolved.

Space is so vast. Our solar system is so small compared to the entire universe. It would be foolish to think were the only life form. I guess they dont have the ability to come here and we dont have it to go there. Thats why we dont meet each other.

Honestly, it would be ignorant to think that in all those trillions of planets in the universe there is no life. There has to be someone else out there. I mean really, we can barely land a stupid robot on Mars.
