The chances of intelligent life evolving on other planets in our universe without a master designer is, are I said, incredibly slim, even in a universe this size. This wouldn't be the case in an infinite universe, though, which would be infinitely larger than ours, and thus have an infinitely greater chance of producing multiple intelligent life forms.

With an intelligent designer, the chances of intelligent life elsewhere are significantly greater, though that depends on the nature of said designer.

If there is a supernatural force helping us along, why does that necessarily mean they haven't helped other places as well? Even if you believe the bible, nowhere in the bible does it say we are alone in the universe.

(but it does say the earth is round and also that the continents used to be together as one which was not accepted as fact until much later but that's a debate for another time)

Why does that necessarily mean they haven't helped other places as well? It certainly doesn't and I never said such a thing, so you're asking the wrong person. I meant that the chances of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is incredibly slim without an intelligent designer. Nowhere in the Bible does it say we are alone in the universe and nowhere in the teachings of the Catholic Church does it say we are (as Bingowings said, it doesn't say we aren't either).
