Well, if we can manage to spread out enough to the point where we become a permanent fixture in the universe, then perhaps we might eventually manage it. But 1) it's extremely unlikely that we'll reach that point, unfortunately, because that would require inhabiting other planets in other solar systems and 2) it doesn't remove the requirement that another race would need to survive long enough itself, and do so in the right location at the right moment in time.
It's not that it's impossible, it's just extremely unlikely. That said, I'd like to discover alien life just as much as the next guy.
