What is our size, capability, and intelligence, compared to the size of galaxy, milky way, and universe ?
Is it possible to have a worthy belief with these limitations regarding habitation being exclusive to our planet ?

This is the way I look at it. Since our Sun, a star, has 9 planets around it, then it's very likely that every one of those billions of stars we see at night have their very own planets circling around. Can you imagine the enormous chances of there being life outside of Earth? The universe is too big for us human beings to even get our minds around.
I believe that there is more a possibility of there being other inhabited planets than there NOT being any. :)

Inhabited by what?
You are aware that there are probably trillions of planets in our visible universe, aren't you?
We don't know and have no way of knowing how many other planets there are, so the answer is probably.
It is statistically unlikely that the earth is the only planet that produced life forms as we know it.
But there are probably billions of other life forms that we would not recognize as such.

No way. Millions of other Galaxies, Billions of other stars and planets. Even if you believe in God, then that's a admittance that is there life on other planets. Aliens come from some place other than Earth. So God, Satan, and all the angels, would all be considered Aliens and probably live on another planet.

In our solor system? Yes.
Our system is only one of a vast amounts of systems and galaxies inside the Universe.
The satellite Galieo has only reached only our outer most planets and exiting our solar system recently. We haven't even been able to touch the outskirts of our own system let alone the universe.
The universe is too vast, and space too large to actually consider that this one blue planet... relatively nothing but a spec, to be the only inhabitable place anywhere...
No, the earth is not the only inhabited planet.

If you count out the probable amount of planets in the universe that would mean that we hit the lottery a million times in a row or more.
Of couse though the fact that space is made up of such vast amounts of space in addition to those stars (that of course is why the stars and galaxies of billions of stars look so small even though they each are millions of times the size of earth and their gravity causes their nuclear fusion and/or fission) that because of this vast amount of space that even our fastest spaceships would take decades if not centuries to reach the nearest other stars than our sun, that it's highly unlikely that we'll ever in the evolution of our life encounter life from another planet unless there's some way for them to travel faster than the speed of light.

Believing in life on other planets is 100% based on evolution. As a Bible believer that believes that life cannot exist without an act of God there is no chance of life anywhere else unless God created it. We have no reason to believe He did and Biblical reason to bel;ieve He did not. First when Adam sinned the whole universe was corrupted and will one day be destroyed by God. Christ only died once, Christ only died for Adam's race, if there was other life in existence it would be condemned but God would not have made salvation available to it and that would be unjust.

I am a Christian but that really doesn't affect this much. There has never, ever been any evidence that there is life on other planets. If there were it seems like we would be able to see something.
In addition, God created the entire universe. He's God. If he wants to make billions and billions of worlds that are barren rocks and do nothing but glorify him by demonstrating his power, than he can do it as easily as making them with life.

no there are many many earth like planets. There are planets where beings live on CO2 or by Methane. There are more intellignet and lesser intelligent beings.
besides physical planets, there are many astral planes too from where the living beings keep going to various planets as per their desires and deeds.

it is inconcieveable to think that the God of creation only made life on this one planet. Taking the vastness of this universe, it would only seem logical that there are life forms on different planets somewhere out there in some galaxie of space
