Even if there are 8.325 10^19 stars that doesn't mean that there has to be intelligent life elsewhere. What were the chances of human beings happening? Think about that, and you eliminate a vast majority of those stars as possible places for life.
I agree that life probably exists elsewhere in the universe... but intelligent life I'm no so convinced. I think there's a good chance, but not that it's a sure thing.
Granted - life can probably develop a whole bunch of ways that we can't even comprehend. Maybe life developed somewhere in a way we just couldn't have guessed.
