Actually, the people who support the evolutionary side of things tend to espouse that life is not unique to earth, however given the limited number of planets that would support life (relative to the overall size of the universe), I believe you're still talking about a long shot. I am a believer in Intelligent Design, however I realize that I cannot support my arguments with the bible. The ID side of the debate has MANY proponents who are not carrying bibles as their only means of defense (see this link). Unfortunately, they're in the minority. "Give a professor a false theory early in life and he'll defend it until he dies" - not sure who said it but I like it...
