I totally agree with Maksutov. The only reason we've found jovian sized planets so far is because our telescopes aren't powerful enough to detect smaller earth like planets.

Also going with what aurorae said, I would think that advanced life must be pretty rare when you consider the countless species of animals on this planet, and yet we're the only somewhat advanced species of them all.
