We have no basis for forming a view about the likelihood  of intelligent 
life on other planets. All we know about intelligent life (and indeed 
life at all) is that it's possible. The universe could be teeming with 
life, or Earth could be the only place. Until we have more data, that's 
all we can say.

Finding life on Europa or Mars, or evidence of past life (being life 
clearly unrelated to life on Earth), would be a huge step forward. Not 
finding it there would tell us little.

Sylvia.
