I don't know why you are worried about intelligent life elsewhere when we have enough to wonder about intelligent life here.

No, I don't believe that there is. I think the biggest argument against intelligent life elsewhere is that Christ came to this planet in God's eternal decree of salvation. That puts this planet in a very important position. Not even the angels received this kind of favour. So we would have to think of an equally favourable situation for another planet if there are "image-bearers" on other planets. After all, that is the ultimate question: not whether there is intelligent life elsewhere, but whether there are image-bearers of God elsewhere.
