Really?? You sound awfully sure of yourself about something that no one actually knows.
IMO the preponderance of evidence is that there is no intelligent life out there. Scientists have been able to detect the background radiation left over from the big-bang at the furthest reaches of the universe, yet they have not detected one radio signal at any frequency that can be considered from an alien civilization.
We have been broadcasting for about 85-90 years so it's conceivable that our radio signals could be detected as far away as 80 light-years from earth. So we should have detected something from older more advanced civilizations if your premise is true that life abounds throughout the universe.
