May I refer you to Sun Tzu's reliability law: "Highly improbable events occur all the time when your sample size is large enough." In other words, the vastness of the space almost guarantees that we will encounter alien life at some point. ST P.S I originally coined this as an IT reliability design doctrine, but it works for anything.

.....but the vastness of space and distances involved.... ....are the exact reasons I have NO problem believing intelligent life can, and probably does exist somewhere "out there". The fact may never be ours to know, isolated as we are here on our little blue marble.

OT: Interesting and that has never occurred to me, but the vastness of space and distances involved make me skeptical of us finding intelligent extraterrestrial life. We will, though perhaps not in our lifetimes. Given that advances in genetics make it likely that within 100 years or so, humans could be immortal, that greatly enhances the chances our descendants will be meet intelligent life in our universe.
