i think so because thereare these thingamabobs called extremists, they are little bacterias that live in really really hot or cold places, so couldnt they live on venus or pluto or something then grow bigger and become multicellular and smart or something?
gosh, i am so smart...i like to ask questions about life and how it began (i dont belive in super-human-beings like god).

actually your right these bacteria could adapt to life on venus or mercury because
a. they dont need oxygen to survive
b. they can survive extreme pressures and tempuratures

We cannot really say yes or no in general, but we can say, no known bacteria on earth could survice any extrmes as like as on venus (over 400 dgrees Celsius hot) or on pluto which is not much more than a chunk of ice in such a giant distance, that the sun is no more than just one of many bright spots in the sky, and that chunk of ice is colder than minus 250 degrees Celsius (or in Kelvin, it's just about 23 to 28 Kelvin "warm".
However, we can say:
At these temperatures life isn't possible, neither in the heat, no material know can protect from the heat for long, nor in the cold (this cold, any movement, even on molecular level, stops completely)
Btw you are not smart at all. Just saying that from yourself gives a rather silly impression. Besides, already by saying that you don't believe in super-human-beings like God you already make the first and very arrogant mistake to compare human being to God, siper or not, that doesn't matter.
If you really wann a know how life began, red about the evolution. That's it.

Usually life has to begin in the right environment and then move and adapt again. Venus lacks water because of the severe temps. Same as Pluto. It is too far from the sun to sustain life.
There is a range in the orbit of a planet to its sun, in which all the factors could work in supporting life.
Good for you to ask questions. Question everything and seek your own answers.

First of all....when u say things like"I am so smart".....its proof to the contrary
Life....as we know it needs water and oxygen,little found on the 2 planets u just mentioned
Not saying that some form of life coudnt live there.....but it would be beyond our current comprehension
BTW,god is not a super human-being..."god" to me is the author of the intelligent design of life

As long as the environmental conditions, for their life cycle to complete one cycle, are present, then yes they could survive and then who knows what.
I think it is kind of cute how you say "gosh, I am so smart...." Not pretentious at all.

not on the Sun, you'd be incinerated into your basic atoms!
