No. There isn't intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
For one, the unique positioning of the Earth relative to its star, is at just the right position for life. Sure, there may be planets in other solar systems at roughly equal distance to their stars for life, but I don't believe that it exists.
Why?
Primarily because in the Bible, it says that God created the Heavens (universe) and the Earth. On this Earth, of which along with the universe, all created within six days, He placed man and woman. If there were intelligent life on other planets, it would be contradictory to the Word of God. Therefore, this is a major reason why I do not believe that there is any other life elsewhere.
Furthermore, with as many satellites and probes that have been launched, granted they've only explored a fraction of all that is out there, nothing has been found that confirmly indicates life outside of Earth.
Since Jesus agreed with the Genesis account, and since Jesus IS God, it stands to reason that it is an accurate account. Since Jesus came to save mankind from his or her sins, the mankind, descendents of Adam and Eve, which we all are a part of, then Jesus' death on the cross could have only been for mankind on Earth, not for anyone else, validating the truth that life is only found on Earth.
I realize that some of you will give me flack for this, but it is what it is. This is what I believe, based on the Word of God. Evidence, at least what we have, seems to confirm this assertion.
LMAO...I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while. Thanks...you made my day.
If only 1 out of every billion galaxies contains life (1 of 1,000,000,000), and if only 1 out of every billion stars in those life-containing galaxies has orbiting planets capable of supporting life, and if only 1 out of every billion of those planets that could support life actually does support life, and if only 1 out of every billion of those planets that supports life supports intelligent life, then there are hundreds of billions of intelligent civilizations in the universe.
As big as this universe is, you'd have to be a fool to believe this is the only planet on which life exists. However, that same size makes it highly unlikely that two intelligent species will ever meet.

Why would intelligent life on other planets contradict that God created intelligent life here? Does the bible, explicitly, say that this is the only planet on which God created life?
There could be millions of intelligent civilizations during the life of this universe that never meet because the universe is so fast and civilizations actually only exist for short periods of time in the big scheme of things. Why would God create such a vast universe and then only use one planet in all that vastness to place life upon?
I was thinking of the twilight zone episode when the lucky people from some other planet took a spaceship to earth cause their planet was soon to be destroyed. Anyone remember this old episode ?

The positioning of Earth relative to our star isn't necessarily as important as some make it out to be. While you may or may not believe in evolution, the scientific community agrees that life on this planet evolved to be better able to survive here on Earth. With that in mind, it becomes entirely possible that life exists on a planet very different from our own, because the life there would have evolved to be better suited to its own planet.
The positioning of the Earth, with respect to the Sun, has a lot to do with it. Too close and cellular matter would burn. Too far away and it'd freeze, preventing the cellular processes necessary for complex life forms to thrive.
Evolution isn't fact (and I'm not talking about species variation, aka microevolution), but rather kind to kind evolution, also known as macroevolution. However, that's for another thread.
Regardless of what you believe, it doesn't change the facts.
