I believe that due to the size of the universe, the prevalence of the key elements (H, C, N, O) required for organic chemistry and the age of the universe, life elsewhere is virtually inevitable.
However, because of the vast interstellar distances I think it unlikely that we will be able to communicate with intelligent life from distant worlds. As things currently stand, I can see only one-way communications received many years later, and not a dialogue.
