So many solar systems out there, life evolved in many planets for sure. No proof but no doubt.

Life? Probably. Something that has thinking capabilities? Much more doubtful.

So you're saying out of the trillions upon trillions of stars that the chances are no life can think but us?

I think the odds are that at least one of them does.

We're multiplying a very large number (number of planets) with a very small number (chance of intelligent life). The margin can make the answer go either way.

You are basing the chance of intelligent life number on what? Reality is we have no clue what this number is.

Exactly, so we shouldn't say things like "no doubt" when it comes to the question of extra terrestrial life.
