Prepare for battle, Earthling. We are coming. And we are intelligent. We can compute the square of 41 in one billionth of a second, without using your sneaky little computers and smart phones. On our planet, we are smarter than phones. Bah, humbug on you inferior minds. The Universe will think so much better when we put the ramp for the intergalactic highway in the space that was once your planet before the anti-matter master blaster has hit it.
Say "Goodbye" to all this, and "Hello" to Oblivion.
To be fair, Earth alone has life with cognition. "Life" as defined by modern terms came to mean organic life. That's just where the cognition fell.
It's illogical and self righteous to consider that carbon based chemistry just magically caused an evolution of cognition. It makes life easier to deal with to make that illogical assumption, but that would mean believing the simple organic construction of the brain in higher life forms constitutes "cognitive life", in which case one must believe that either computers have the same cognition by the same virtue of intellect, or that Carbon based chemistry has "Magic". In either case, there is a dilemma of logic in materialistic thinking.
Thus, we see materialism is just false hope and vanity for feeble minds.
Thus, knowing there is a supernatural explanation for the natural, of which this is just one proof of many, one sees that up to now, despite all the hopes and prayers of most people, we've yet to meet life from other planets.
However, we have enough "organic material" escaping our atmosphere over time, some of our own doing, some of Nature, to realize that even if organic structures with brains weren't there before, they may well come about by virtue of this process, if one holds to the theory of Evolution. That is a theory still. Natural selection is a fact by definition, but that alone couldn't explain life arising on another planet by accident in escaping Earth's atmosphere on a long journey.
So, we assume there is cognition in a being with a developed, uninjured brain, but there's no way to prove this. Thinking one can prove this is another "false bit of wishful thinking" that is common among humans.
Humans have always used convenience to determine whether the organic life of a being, or even a person, constitutes "cognitive life". And one would think that modern Science would see a decrease in this number, but I've yet to a decrease in that number. Humans today are even more self righteous about determining "cognitive life" through their own convenience in rationalizing their ideology than ever before. I look around me in the U.S. and see that if a Hitler arose, there would be plenty of loyal demon possessed servants.
In summation, we see people praying to their own hearts, their own gods, for life on other planets. Remember how God answered such prayers before when his people prayed he give them a king? He told them they would be sorry, and his King Saul made them sorry.
In just the same way, God may eventually answer the prayers for life on other planets. And it won't be "controlled" by those who pray for it, and they will try to deny the reality again. I don't know if God would give them just organic forms with no cognition, which would obviously have superior value in surviving by the theory of Evolution as a species, or if he would give them cognitive life, and lets not be so self righteous as to think a god couldn't create a History and past for a species on the spot, or if he would give a cognitive life form, but either way, I wouldn't dare pray for it the way over 90% of people appear to pray for it.

I would tend to agree, but there's no way to know and no way to ever know.

"The Earth is the only planet with intelligent life known to us."
I agree with that statement.

Disagree. The human race is not quite that intelligent.

I would tend to agree, but there's no way to know and no way to ever know. If extraterrestrials existed and they openly visited us, or we found some other clear evidence of their existence, then we'd know.

I think it's extremely unlikely that "The Earth is the only planet with intelligent life" is true.

I think it's extremely unlikely that "The Earth is the only planet with intelligent life" is true. Given the billions of galaxies with trillions(?) of planets, it is extremely unlikely as TS said. However in the sequence of things, someone had to be first. It could be we, but if we are the only ones so far, there is no doubt in my mind that there will be others.

It is the only planet with intelligent life that we know of. By "intellgient life", I'm assuming you mean comparable to a human and wouldn't count some sort of animal like alien like Xenomorphs?

Still collating. There's a fella over in the UK who says he is in communication with a collective in the spirit realm, and they tell him that earth is the only planet where people live on the physical plane. On other planets they are there, but only on the astral plane, so if we went there we wouldn't see them. I thought it was interesting.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement ? I disagree, and rather strongly, but there's no way to tell for certain until we've explored the rest of the universe. And that's a big place. It seems to be an established fact that there are plenty of stars with orbiting planets and many of these planets are described as earth-like. It may be that life forms easily on earth-like planets or it may be that it's very difficult and we're a one in a billion occurrence. Even if life formation is probable it may be that progressing from bacteria to protozoans is an extremely rare event. Getting from protozoans to multi-celled might be rare or common and so would such leaps as going from savagery to civilization. We're guessing, nobody knows for sure, but I'll stick with the belief that there are other intelligences besides us in this vast universe. Of course, as somebody else said, it might not be that easy a task is intelligent or not. The creatures from the Alien franchise were described as animals in one movie and that would never be the case for Predator type creatures.

We cannot know. We could be or we could not. There are some strange people out there who think they know for certain or with a high degree of possibility that there are intelligent aliens.

I think it's extremely unlikely that "The Earth is the only planet with intelligent life" is true. How can you say that considering the Fermi Paradox and the observer-selection effect?

The Fermi Paradox only applies the very small region of space we've explored. To put this into perspective, we've only sucessfuly landed probes on two planets of the billions that are out there (not manned flight, just probes). Man hasn't even fully explored the depths of the ocean, so I don't neccesarily expect us to find extraterestrials anytime soon (especially with the diminishing budget NASA has). At the very least though, I don't see why it isn't possible for intelligent life to be on other planets. It's already happened once, I don't see why it can't happen again.
