I think our solar system is too large for only one planet to contain intelligent life. Look at Mercury, it get loads of energy from the sun; some of that has to be converted to life. Venus has a thick atmosphere and almost the same gravity as Earth. Mars has less of an atmosphere, but that only means more radiation to cause mutations thus accelerating evolution! Quite a few of the moons around the gas giants have ammonia and methane, heck! that's all you need to start life! Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore but if it had life it would be really far out!

So you see, there has to be life elsewhere in the solar system!
