    Now think how long will it take a photon to reach earth once it has bounced of something in another solar system?
    I understand that completely, but probabilities cannot be used as proof.

    Until we find some sort of life or ruins of such a civilization somewhere I just don't believe life exists out there.

    I hear what you saying, and it would be difficult to just happen on another planet that contained intelligent life, but surely the objective would be to find other life, then it comes a situation of narrowing the search field to the planets that could support life.... and suddenly the universe becomes a whole lot smalller

    Good questions, because my belief is that there may be some form of life on other planets, but they will be in the form of bacteria, viruses or plasmids.

    Now for the question about intelligence, a French philosopher said it best when we he said: "I think, therefore I am". It is probably the statement to classify any species as intelligent. If any organism is capable of making a decision, be it what to eat, when to sleep, where to go, it must be classified as "intelligent".
