What do you think the odds are that life can exist somewhere else? Put a number on it.
One in a million? A billion?
Let's use one in ten billion just as example.
There are over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way alone, so using one in ten billion that means there would be 20 planets with life just in our galaxy.
There are over 100 million galaxies in the known universe.
You do the math
The universe is teeming with life

We should not be so full of ourselves to think we are so special. There are infinite possibilities in the universe. We are at a point where the first philosophers were in that we tend to believe we are the center of the universe....we are looking into space believing that it ends somewhere. What if it doesn't? There has always been speculation of another life form or more. I bellieve there is life out there and it may look a lot like us, or not.

Considering that we have found life on our own planet that insists on surviving in environments in which we could not live, then yes life on other planets is possible.
Will it be in any form that is recognizable as similar to homo sapien -- probably not.

There is no Scientific answer for this question. It really is your own philosophy. I do believe in God and creation, yet how dare we feel that we are so superior that God would never create any other life? I do believe that there is something else out there...whether it be big eyed aliens, or foliage, or parasites. So your answer is to look inside yourself and find your answer, it's all in what YOU believe.....

there are other universes so many light years away that we could send a probe to explore, but it wouldn't even reach them in mine our my childrens lifetime. We are still discovering species on our planet, so how could we possibly know if there are species in a far away land that we may never see?

If there's water, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and metals on the planet, i don't see why not. It started here, didn't it? Just don't expect them to fly spaceships just yet. They've had the exact same amount of time to evolve.

Of all the billions of stars in our galaxy, and all the billions of galaxies with billions of stars in them, and all the hundreds of billions of planets in the vast universe, I think it would be egotistical to think that we are the only life in the universe.

It's very possible! Us humans are so tiny and small that there must be something similar out there.

Yes, because there are billions of billions of opportunities for life to form.
Life "as we know it," probably not.
