Is it possible that there is life on other planets other than Earth???

Question

I wonder if there is life on other planets than Earth?!

Answer 1

Given that earth is rather an "ordinary" planet, and that the elements contained in the molecules common to all life (as we know it) are relatively abundant in the universe, it would be rather unusual (and perhaps a bit silly) to be sure that life hasn't arisen in other places.

Given the vast distances between the galaxies, however, the likelihood we will "run into" any other life-forms we can have meaningful communication with are sadly rather small.

Answer 2

Sure. We have confirmed the existence of other planets, the presence of organic chemistry and water, and the likelihood of conditions amenable to the beginning of life processes elsewhere in our own galaxy, which is only one of billions. It's impossible to say for a fact, and difficult to quantify the odds, but there is certainly a very real likelihood that our planet is not the only host of life in the universe.
That doesn't necessarily mean intelligent life. Consider that Homo Sapiens is but one of Earth's species, which are so numerous that we're still making new discoveries. Intelligence may be an exceedingly rare thing. Maybe.

Answer 3

I think it's very possible. We humans seem to think in terms of our own limited intelligent, believing ourselves to be superior to all other plants and animals on this planet, and reluctant to admit that there might be somebody out there that's smarter than us.
But, it's plausible that an evolutionary 'big bang' process (or an intelligent designer, or Nature, or God) created live on many other planets in the vastness of this universe.
It's also hard for us to understand that the universe probably has always been here without any beginning, and without any end. Scientists believe in evolution because it allows them to think everything came about with incredible coincidence and we all evolved from there. Religious zealots believe that there had to be an entity that 'created' all this. Perhaps there is a divine entity up there who 'created' the universe through a massive 'evolutionary' process that is still taking place today, and will continue to take place forever and ever and ever... -RKO-

Answer 4

Whoever created this huge universe, with all planets, galaxies and other undiscovered things, would not possibly created the earth as the only living place. Then what would be the purpose of such a vast thing when earth will now or latter meet doom's day!!!!

Answer 5

The universe is very large and the earth is just a very small point in it,and I don't think that God creates all that for humans,we will never travel to all the planets in the universe,its extremely very huge.For that I think that there is other creatures in other planets.

Answer 6

mathematically it's practically guarenteed. There are far more stars and galaxies than we ever see. Their light simply doesn't reach the earth. Of those stars and planets it's LESS likely for there to be no life than for there to be advanced civilizations.

Does this mean that these other life-forms are coming to earth? No.

Answer 7

Of course it is possible. But don't hold your breath until they find it.
Possible is a lot easier than impossible. The universe is a lot older than most people realize, and the story of life is far longer and more exciting than people dare hope.

;-D The truth is out there.

Answer 8

nope, only 1 in 600 trillion stars has a planet suitable for life. Lucky us!

Answer 9

Good question, but not for sure. Do you think that there could actually maybe be other people on other planets, I'm not for sure. They have astronouts and they go to different planets maybe ask a astronaut.

Answer 10

Possible, and I would dare say, considering the possibly endless reaches of space, and over eons of time, some sort of life has likely existed somewhere else.
