But we do have ways of testing it. We can and do look for extraterrestrial civilizations coming from nearby planets and solar systems, and thereby place bonds on the output of the Drake Equation.
For some combinations of parameters, we should expect to see life on most other bodies within the solar system. The search for life on the moon and mars are simple empirical tests of these predictions.
