There are two ways to really think about it imho. Based on observation? It's nigh impossible. We've never observed anything outside of our own planet even approaching the conditions on earth. Based on mathematics? Absolutely. The fact that we exist mean any planet has a nonzero chance of supporting intelligent life. Given the infinite scale and time of the universe it's inevitable that infinite and infinitely diverse sentient life will exist.
