Absolutely, there are Billions and billions of stars , just like our sun,with planets revolving around them, it is not only possible, its probable.

It's a strong possibility because the galaxy is a vast place not to metion the universe. It could house many lifeforms just like on earth or even places you don't think to find life at. Look at the earth they have found lifeform in the most extreme of places why not other planets.

-The average person is 65 kg.
-The sun is about 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.
-Our sun is one of the smallest in our galaxy, let alone the universe.
-There are 149,600,000 km between the earth and the sun.
-1 light year is about 9,460,000,000,000 km and Our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years across.
-The distance to the closest galaxy is billions of light years.
Our universe is larger than comprehention. Some people think they understand but do NOT. Only a few people, who are extremely "passionate" about space can truly fathom its enormity.
And our universe might not be the only one.
The sheer scale basically proves life itself. If we exist, on 1 out of several trillion trillion trillion celestial bodies, the idea that other life does NOT exist becomes preposterous. Although the "intelligent" species are probably some heavily evolved form of something similar to our dinosaurs, there must be other "life."
If you want to talk more, send me a message.

Yes. It just can't be possible that we are the only beings in such a huge universe. There are possibly billions of galaxies in the universe, and each galaxy contains 200-400 billion stars. I don't think out of all that only one star could have planets that support life.

There's a very high probability of life on other planets (see results of Drake's Equation). Whether or not they're human is taking a big leap of faith, however.

Can't say why not. Plenty of stars, planets, and galaxies out there. It would be very strange if we are the only ones in the universe.

Hi. Plant life is almost certain to have developed, animal life is probable, human life is not likely.

Not human! Humans only live on Earth.
There almost certainly are alien lifeforms somewhere; whether they would be considered "animal" is debatable -- it depends on how strict a definition you use.

There isn't anything to indicate there isn't.
Scientists have said if there is life "out there", it wouldn't necessarily have to be human, although it could be "humanlike".
I believe there is life out there. What kind of life is anybody's guess.

I think it is very anal of us to think that we are the only intellegent life in the whole universe. I think that maybe, not in our universe that we know of, but in other universes that there are beings, maybe not intellegent but definately life forms on other planets.
After all, if our universe can support life, so may other universes
