No, we can know that there are an infinite number of planets because there is an infinite amount of space possible.
This could change tommorow. We do not know that the universe is going to expand forever, hence we do not know with certainty there is an infinite supply of them.

True that, but then we would need and infinite number of people to inhabit an infinite number of planets, infinity divided by infinity equals 1, therefore 100% of the universe is actually populated, as someone does not occupy the space next to me this statement cannot be true so we can assume there is a finite number of people populating the universe with an infinite number of worlds.
This still does not show that life does not exist. Even if there were a "finite number of people inhabiting the universe", you've basically just conceded my point. That statement suggests life outside of the planet or already here on this planet, but life nonetheless.
