I suppose it's easier to believe you're a special snowflake than it is to believe you're just average.

Even though you are unique snowflake there are and will be millions like you.

Maybe we are not special. But we can accidentally be one of the first.

The question isn't about what's easier to believe, it's about what the evidence supports. The probability for life (or multicellular life or intelligent life or technological life) to evolve on any given planet is strictly between 0 and 1. You can believe what you want, but the facts don't support any stronger statement than that.
