The atmosphere on the new planet would have to be exact to that of earth's, and the evolution of the brain would have to be exact to that of humans. It's impossible. No intelligent life will ever be found, because no other intelligent life exists besides humans. Whoever disagrees obviously didn't look into the matter and is living in a world of science fiction. Real science will tell you that it's astronomically impossible.
So you're assuming that:

1. Intelligent life can only exist if the planet follows the same process that the Earth did.
2. In the vast universe, these same processes could not possibly take place simply because of its improbability.
3. Intelligent life must be just like humans and evolve exactly the same way. Thus, it also requires the same exact atmosphere as humans.
4. That you know these things to be true without possessing facts showing them to be true.

Did I get that right?
