The assertion I'm making is that intelligent life is going to be rare in the places you have life. I made the argument quite clear, it's because intelligent life needs to be mobile and that needs an environment where a reactive element is common to power it.

Anecdotal observations don't count in science. "We are alone" because nothing's been seen to counter the view that there are life-forms beyond our planet. That is, unless you're counting the faces and pyramids on Mars. ;)
An analysis of how Earth came into being is one's first clue. One factoid: if Earth hadn't had a Jupiter to capture errant asteroids, there'd be nothing here to examine.

Then you need to take your assertion and go to the scientific community and tell them this and put them out of business. Really man, you making a ridiculous argument.

Yeah, I know all about Jupiter, our ‘’cosmic shortstop’’. I have a nice 6-inch Newtonian refractor scope. My backyard looks east towards the Atlantic Ocean(southern NJ). Jupiter was in fine form last month.
