There is, in my mind, without a doubt, intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. The odds that the intelligent life developed even remotely close to Earth and survived long enough to come up with the technology necessary to communicate with us, on the other hand, are ridiculously small. I forget the math, but I'm pretty sure that it's very unlikely that any other intelligent life exists within our specific galaxy, and communicating to other galaxies is a fantastic feat indeed.
In short, "they're" out there, but neither of us (humans or aliens) are likely to survive long enough to find out about it. It's truly a shame if you ask me.
