I for one would first be pleased to see some evidence of intelligent life here on earth........
As for what all those other planets are like, well we have very little evidence on the conditions there, only the wobble of some stars for the most part.
But stars like our sun are very common in our galaxy, I would guess that there is life there, but there is no evidence that there is a drive for the evolution of intelligence, in fact the opposite.

How can we know how unlikely it is if we dont even know how our own life came into existence?
You should not just believe all the crap that they tell you on tv without thinking for yourself.
If you think all TV is cr*p you should start your own thread on the topic rather than dismiss everything that disagrees with your own opinion.
Perhaps an internet address would carry more weight with you. Check out http://www.abc.net.au/science/morebigquestions/default.htm
Then click on "Are we alone?"

The reason they do this is because they have no clue how it could have happened on earth! So they merely shift the problem to far, far away, and long, long ago . That the absurdity of this does not escape them is one of my greatest puzzles! (It reminds me of Terry Pratchet's "Turtles all the way down!" argument.)
Some people are afraid that there are other civilizations. It would blow the whole idea that there is a God who made only us.
Sorry, not true. It is quite feasible that God made other life forms that never sinned and fell. C S Lewis explores this in his SF trilogy Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength
Your chess seems to be better than your cosmology!
