Assuming there is no other intelligent life out there based on the universe being really old or that they haven't found us is not logical. First off, there are obvious problems with space travel and you can't just assume that every form of life has the same capabilities or wants to live in different extremes as humans can.
Lets take Dolphins for example. They are clearly smart animals and quite capable of communicating with one another. They have their own social groups and do things that show they aren't just a dumb fish living in the ocean.
Yet Dolphins don't fly aircraft, they don't build houses or fly in space ships. Why is that? Is it because evolution treated them unfairly? or could it be they have just evolved to suit their needs in which airplanes and space ships don't really fit their needs?
Added to this, we aren't even smart enough or capable enough to talk to Dolphins yet we know they are intelligent.
Meaning, just assuming that all advanced life in the galaxy would end up with the aim of space travel is sort of deluded. Perhaps there are cities of Sea Monkeys on Europa, but they have plenty of resources and have no reason to look else where. Would that mean they are not intelligent life, just because they don't want to or have no need explore elsewhere?
