There may be intelligent life on other planets—but if so, the Bible doesn't mention it. If there is, it is because God put them there (just as He put us here), and their purpose is to glorify and serve God (just as ours is).
While it's interesting to speculate about life on other planets, it's important to remember that God is everywhere, and although our planet is very small, God has not forgotten us. He made us, and He provided for us by making the world so it would sustain life. Never forget the opening verses of the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ... God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:1, 31).
But something happened to the perfect world that God created—and that "something" was sin. Adam and Eve walked with God—but in time they gave in to the temptations of Satan, and they turned their backs on God. And when they did, sin—like a lethal cancer—destroyed their fellowship with God and brought death to the human race.
But God did not abandon us! God loves us, and He was determined to bring us back to Himself. He did this by coming down to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus, who died so we could live. Do you know the God of the universe in a personal way? You can, by opening your heart to Jesus Christ today.

Evolution is complex and very very random. Even if there is a planet identical to Earth anywhere in the universe it would probably not have life even remotely like the life we have here. Survival of mutated species depends upon the environment and survival of the fittest. Extinction events (such as what happened to the dinosaurs) drastically change the series of events which determine which species survive to evolve into other species. Everything on the other planet would have to be identical to the exact second and locale as here on Earth to even have the slightest chance that life would evolve the same as here. Chance plays a huge role in the evolution of species.
Having said that , I don't believe that there are humans anywhere but here on Earth(with exception to the few in orbit). I do strongly believe that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe; not only in the Andromeda galaxy but here in the Milky Way Galaxy as well. I'm sure that intelligent life elsewhere in the Cosmos wonders if they are the only ones with intelligence just like we wonder. The Milky Way is but one of billions of galaxies. This galaxy has over a hundred billion stars. Around some of those stars there has to be planets at the optimum distance and mass suitable to support life. Then out of those planets there should evolve species on a few planets capable of gaining intelligence.

Oh yes, I think about life elswhere. The universe is filled with life and yes, intelligent life. But your question of any humans, I suppose that it is possible, but consider this. Would we have evolved to what we are if circumstances of the past were somehow altered? For instance, how would we have evolved if that meteor that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago did not happen? Would the ancestors of the mammals thrived if pitted against the reptiles? Could the mammals have competed?
It is a wonderful thing to think about such things.
And if there are humans out there inhabiting other worlds, I wonder, Have their Chicago Cubs won a a World Series recently? lol

At this point it is more speculation than theory, but it is most likely probable at the least. However, our astrophysicists do not have all the key elements factored in their probability equations to determine the odds of an intelligent civilization emerging in another galaxy. One skewed area is this assumption that a G-2 class star, like our Sun, is required. In fact, it appears that our Sun was not our "paternal star" at all, for even the Ancients (the Dogon, Egyptians and Babylonians) point to Sirius B, today a White Dwarf, as our “paternal star”, which was originally a Blue Supergiant, a B class star that was about the size of 5 solar masses. It received a cometary impact (Comet Metis) in its equatorial region and precipitated a secondary reaction antipodal the impact when the internal mass pressurized opposite the egression and the photosphere ruptured 180 degrees around the equator, causing a 70% "mass stellar ejection episode" (the "Rhean Stellar Ejection Episode"), and the subsequent creation of our former "Osirian Trinary Stellar System" having 14 celestial members, 3 stars and 11 planets; hence the Sirius Binary is the missing half of our Solar System. The "Metisian Stellar Impact Event" caused Sirius B to loose 70% of its mass, reducing it into an F-1 class star about the size of 1.49 solar masses.
Even quantum equations completed in 2001 deduced that our G-2 class star (the last object to be created and exceeded in age by the Earth in millions of years) was far too small to have created the heavier rare elements in the human body and on Earth, and the conclusion was determined that these rare heavier elements are, in fact, the by-product of a Blue Supergiant, hence Sirius B in its original state before the "Metisian Cometary Impact Event".
So most likely, "other humans" (or intelligence) beyond our local galactic neighborhood will be found on solid-body planets orbiting around Blue Supergiant Stars, not "Sun-like" (G-2 class) stars.

The earth is a very rare place in our universe. It took quite a bit for the earth to turn out exactly as it is-with this amount of this element and that amount of another. We had to be in a particular place with other stars in particular places and the odds of another planet just like this one are astronomical. Great word isn't it? Then there are the odds of our type of life starting up and evolving into us. With all of that, there is sooo much out there. We see further out and further out and there are galaxies after galaxies with too many stars to count. Still I don't think there is life just like us but some type of life, definitely. Scientifically speaking I understand that now "they" believe that life makings may have been brought here by an asteroid. There's lots of asteroids going lots of places.

Off course there is life .Only in our galaxy there are 100000 civilizations according to a NASA film I saw..But I do not know how they look like because that depends on the local plane tic conditions like gravity,atmosphere etc

Yes they exist because , on TV (Discovery Science) the scientist put question to who saw them.All people said all...They`re answers are very simillar.And they are living in diferent countries.They can`t be telephatic.How can they to say answer so similliar?I am sure they saw the creatures and is not a joke.Thousands of miles how can the people to say so simillar ansswers?I believe.

I have always thought the same.. if conditions are the same on other planets oxygen and all the things that makes up our world why should we be egotistical and assume that we are the only humans..

Most probably there is, but it seems their technology level not so high at this moment, so far we haven't seen any interstellar spaceship visiting us. or maybe these alien are so small till our eyes unable to see them.
