Of course there is life on other planets. There is probably life on millions of planets throughout the universe. Earth can't be the only planet with life. It just doesn't make sense to believe otherwise.

Yes, there should be life throughout the universe, because the laws of chemistry and physics are the same everywhere. There are organic molecules all over space, and huge clouds of them exist between the stars. We now know of over 200 planets outside this solar system, and there are many more that we cannot yet see. Some of those worlds are bound to have life, even if it is no more than bacteria.
Here is a link to some of the work I have done:

There are many factors that go into the development of life on earth that altering any of them would have thrown the formation of life out of the loop. Factors include such things as particular concentrations of basic chemical compounds to form amino acids, the right combination of amino acids to form protein strands that could replicate themselves, and the appropriate energy required to maintain this replication process over a significant period of time. Add into the fact that certain factors such a the presence of gas giants to deflect incoming comets and the right spectral star class, it would seem that the odds of life forming spotaneously are rather low.
On the other hand, space is a rather vast expance, encompassing billions and billions (apologies to Carl Sagan) of solar systems with a vast amount of diversity, it is not outside of the realm of possibility that sufficiently similar conditions exist in at least one other system to produce life.
My viewpoint, and a lot of this is based on faith, is that the spirit of Lifeforce is powerful enough to manifest itself in other ways and thus other worlds. I would not be surprised to discover that life on Earth is all there is in the Universe, but I'm thinking that the likelihood of life elsewhere is sufficiently probable that once we as a civilisation develop to the point where resources are not going to self-destructive activities that the expenditure for the search for extra-terrestrial life would be a worthy cause. Even if the answer never points to life outside of our planet, it would cause a sufficient clarity of our role in the Universe to justify its search.
Hope that answers your question.

Yes, although intelligent life is another question. Just look at the sheer number of suns out there, the universe is very very VERY big.
Plus, it's not exactly pleasant to think that we're the only ones... it makes the universe quite a lonely place.
There probably aren't many advanced civilizations nearby, however, otherwise why haven't they made contact with us? (unless they're just watching us like we'd watch an ant colony...)

People long ago once had seen flying saucers which came to the earth and took some people and went away. They were more advanced than us. When the saucers neared buildings the power supply was cut because the saucers were very powerful. When u see the saucer before u can call anyone it will vanish. That was their tecnology. Even i am very curious to find those.

I think, for a person to actually believe that Earth holds the only form of life in the universe is either a) lacking in imagination b) gullable enough to believe in religion over science.

I think so. I think if we saw it we wouldn't even know it was alive. We have our definition of life but on another planet it could be ANYTHING. We always think of people like us living out there. If that's the case then no, I don't think there is any other life form in outer space.

I believe there is life on other planets. There are billions of other planets out there and it seems unlikely ours is the only one lucky enough to have developed in this manner to support life. That is not to say it's the same life we know though.

yes. i am sure there is life on other planets becoz other than milky way, there are billions of galaxies and each havin billions of solar systems with its own number of planets. its not possible that out of all this, we r the only ones. i am often filled with thoughts when i gaze at the sky.

God has put us here. But in the Bible is says nothing about other planets that are inhabited.
But in the back of my minds eye, I have a feeling that God put us here, so why wouldn't he allow others to live elsewhere.
