2) There is no Planet anywhere near to Earth that is likely to be able to produce intelligent life.

 

True, we haven't found a planet yet, but gravitaional lensing does not allow us to detect planets that have the same conditions as earth, so we really don't have a clue. Who knows maybe every other solars sytem has ten earth like planets and we are the odd ones out. As we have seen from other solar systems already, we are a bit of a freak solar system.

Also, who says life needs earth like conditions to produse intelligent life?
