Consider a debate, if others would say yes, then why? if No, , then why?

Astronomers just redefined the term "planet". No one has yet defined "life". To juxtapose the two terms creates an insolvable problem.
However, teachers like to pose such. So an answer will begin by defining both. Methinks the key is the full range of "life" is what is really unknown, not the planetary support systems.
FYI The last Martian I spoke with thought our rocks were extraordinarily fresh looking.

In order for another planet to support conventional earth-like carbon-based life it needs to have 1) an orbit around its star where water can be liquid year round 2) enough gravity to have an atmosphere.
There are bacteria that have been found in the earths' crust called 'extremophiles' which can live at high pressures and temperatures.
Even though we have no proof as of yet, it is likely that there may be simple lifeforms living on several other planets and moons in our solar system. Some candidates include Europa, Mars and Titan.
It is also likely that life has arisen in distant solar systems. We have indirect evidence that there are planetary systems on a wide range of stars, and amino acids have been found in interstellar space. So it is likely that life is fairly universal.

Are we starting a debate? No you are wrong. We have yet the ability to test weather or not earthly life can be supported on all the other known planets. Your resolve is a theory not a fact!

It is true that Earth's location in relative to it's star is quite unique in comparison of other celestial objects that we have discovered, ie planets. But we have discovered planets that have as much, and even more water than our planet which can mean that it can sustain life. There are different classifications of planets which means different things, and there have been planets classified under the same category as ours. So it is quite possible, and very plausible, that intelligent life does exist somewhere out there.

Not yet. Since man was meant to have everlasting life, eventually we would have needed to terraform the other planets. That will become necessary when the Earth is turned back into a Paradise, and we once again have everlasting (not immortal) life. Once the Earth is done, we will head out into the Universe.

it is said that water is needed to support life, right? So if other planets do not contain water, then there is no means of supporting life. But didn't they find water on Mars or something? So perhaps there could be some sort of micro-organisms living there?

"The earth is placed on the appropriate distance to the solar to get carry of the ultimate volume of warmth to assist life. can not say the comparable approximately the different planets." And merely as risk might have it, you will possibly anticipate life in hassle-free terms on the "appropriate placed" planet and not on the inhospitable planets. Your argument is for risk,lol. Edit: the ingredient is that is not in hassle-free terms risk. there are a number of self organizing structures interior the universe that create greater advantageous order with out any directing rigidity. Gravity for one occurs to entice quite than repel. i assume it became a 50/50 risk that it ought to have had a repulsive rigidity, yet then we does not be around to evaluate it, might we? that is stupid to evaluate the opportunities of prevailing the lottery once you have already gained. we are already right here so we would anticipate to work out our homestead conducive to life. ninety 9.999999% of the universe isn't "appropriate" for stay (as risk might have it). the popular public of the universe is violent and can kill you in an instantaneous, so don't be so ask your self that there is one tiny dot (earth) that occurs to be the ultimate distance from a action picture star to allow liquid water. Edit: additionally, maximum issues can selection quite plenty and life ought to nevertheless have developed. that is stupid to declare that the earth should be the "appropriate" distance from the solar, as quickly as all of us understand that the solar is getting warmer often used. Is your God going to circulate the earth greater away while the solar starts off to boil the oceans away,lol. The earth ought to be tens of millions of miles closer or greater and we would be merely high quality. not as close as Venus nevertheless, all of us understand that's merely too close.

Talking about planets just upsets me since they took PLUTO and made it a minor planet...you see, I'm a Scorpio and according to posts on this site it is my ruling planet. Can a minor planet rule? Is my whole life a sham? Can I ever read my horoscope again without feeling this way? (sigh)

The universe is awfully big. To say that NO planets are out there with similar environments is impossible say with certainty.
