From other intelligent beings to tiny microbes. It was a very dishearting and empty Universe to only have our world as the only with life.

Not only would it be disheartening and empty but it would be selfish and prideful to think that we are. No I do not believe in god.

I believe it's possible. Anyone who's studied astronomy and really has an understanding for the incredible size of the Universe must find it very hard to believe that with that many chances for life, we're the only planet that's got it. On the other hand, we don't fully understand yet exactly what's necessary for life to form. Yeah, we know vaguely - certain conditions probably need to exist - but we don't have a precise formula, so it's hard to tell just how likely or unlikely life actually is. Either way, I don't find it to be a challenge to my faith. I think science helps us understand the nature of God. Religion should never be used to blind people from the truth.

The Bible does not specifically say there is or isn't life elsewhere in the universe... but as a Christian, I can't say that there isn't life anywhere else... after all... if God can create life here, why couldn't He do it elsewhere... and if He did... who am I to assume that He should have told me about it???
The truth is, we may never know... but we can easily assume that a God who loves life would have no problem creating life elsewhere.

Of course I believe that there is other life in the universe. Why would God only have made earth and life as we know it. and yes I believe in God.

Yes. There are the obvious ones to believe in, angels, whatever that was in Ezekiel 1 , and such. But why would we put a limit on God to only produce what we know of. I expect that they will be revealed and that will be a sight, and let that be no overstatement!

I'm not sure. So far the planets that we've discovered don't have life as we are, that's for sure isn't it? Of course there could be life on other planets that don't need what we do, and aren't like us. Hmmm, I'm not sure. The Scriptures don't say there is life somewhere else, so guess I don't think about it.

I do believe in God, I cannot help it everytime I look at the stars.
Other life must be out there; selfish to think it was all made for us to have pretty things to look at and no purpose.

I don't. It's highly unlikely that all the conditions for life would exist on another planet. It's shocking how perfect a planet has to be to support life.
(Besides, there's no evidence for extra terrestrial life.)

I think it's irrelevant. God may have, god might not have. Why is it my business, why should I care? By a Christian point of view, we aren't gonna ever be able to reach them anyways. Besides, if God did make other life, he would probably not tell us anyways. "If he is to live until I return, what is that to you?" Last Chapter of John

The Bible doesn't specifically say, to my knowledge, but God is so mysterious that He could have created other lifeforms on distant planets.
