Most likely yes.
They are probably very far away because if they were closer we should have heard from them by now.
They would be superior to us in technology only if they have been around longer than us or came across it faster.
In a universe so old and so big it would be unlikely that two intelligent life forms would evolve at the same time and close enough to each other to communicate.

Your second question implies that you believe the first one to be true.
Many people like the theory that there are Aliens in Space.
How can we determine if this is true?
We have not received any radio signals in the years we have been looking for them, but this just looks at our immediate vicinity.
Then there is the whole question of angels, which people seem to place in another category altogether.
If there are angels, and there seems to be evidence to support this, they definitely are aliens and are quite different from us and most people would say operate in many ways that we cannot.
The Bible even says that God created man a little lower than the angels. It also talks about a change of order in the future where man will judge the angels.
Therefore the answer to your question depends on what questions you are really asking and what authority you will accept to verify the facts.

Extraterrestrial life is life that exists and originates outside the planet Earth, the only place in the universe currently known by humans to support life. Its existence is still hypothetical as there is currently little, if any, evidence of other planets that can support life, or actual extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by the scientific community. Some, however, point to moons of Jupiter or other celestial bodies that might concievably have some forms of life. (bacterial or otherwise). Most scientists believe that if extraterrestrial life exists, its evolution occurred independently, in different places. An alternative hypothesis, held by a minority, is panspermia. This suggests that life could have been created elsewhere and spread across the universe, between habitable planets. These two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive.
The putative study and theorisation of extraterrestrial life is known as astrobiology or xenobiology. Speculative forms of extraterrestrial life range from sapient beings, to life at the scale of bacteria. Since, as of yet, no examples of confirmed extraterrestrial life are available for examination, these studies presently remain within the realm of speculation.

Our universe is big, really, really big. Who can say if aliens exist for certain? But as big as our universe or other universes are, there is a good chance of life elsewhere. What does superior than us mean? Viruses defeat us quite easily. Cockroaches have been around lots longer than we have. Dinosaurs ruled for a greater span of time than we humans did. Would we even recognize an alien life form as alive? Humans are very egocentric creatures. I will not pursue that line of thought right now, but leave that to your imagination. I have placed some interesting web sites here. Only time can ever prove life but doubtful that time can ever disprove the existence of life elsewhere.

Sir:
It is easily seen that you can receive a multitude of answers from
a rather broad question like this. And, you did.
I would encourage you to consider the following possibilities:
A.) Assuming that the Earth is about 4.5 Billion years old, and
that mankind has just now reached a very high level of sophistication in his technical achievements - math, science, physics, space travel, space observation, space to Earth communications, nuclear experimentation, etc. That means that all of our significant developments have occurred in roughly the last 100 years. That small window of time is just barely an eye blink compared to 4.5 billion years of Earth Age.
B.) Who knows how many planets are out there in the Milky Way Galaxy? Nobody that I know... We know that there are some 100,000 Billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Each star could have from 0 to 10 or more planets circling it. That is indeed a lot of possible planets out there. We cannot, however, see them due to the brilliance of the stars near them.
C.) Now, all that being said, how are you going to catch one of those planets (equivalent to the Earth) in the similar eye blink of time that we are passing through? Given the length of time that it takes to get even light back and forth to a distant star, those folks on the distant star could have been born, progressed through civilized life and been burned to a crisp through some terrific collision. Study on the challenge that this search represents...
D.) Who knows where they are? What language do they speak? Are they just smart fish? Who knows?
E.) Are they superior to us? Wow, that is a good one...
Let's say that when we locate them they are in the Stone Age
equivalent to man's development...which of us is superior?
Better yet, the life on that distant planet is now in an age of development similar to Medivieal Times... Who is the most superior, and how did you arrive at that conclusion? What factors played a part in your decision process? Looks like there is lots to learn and little factual data on hand...

Mathematically yes , there should exist other planets where they are living beings. I have no doubt.
Just the consider facts..
There are billions of star in a Galaxy, and there are billions of Galaxy in the Universe, so my question is why only Earth ?..
But there are not forcibily "superior". (For your info human is not superior race.....Don't know where you take this idea from)
Anyway i think there exist more intelligent living beings out of Earth.

May be or may not be.the probabilty is that there must me many planets like ours in the various galaxies . the numer of planets and stars being in comnceivable , there may be a number of solar systems in each Galaxy and that ther eis the possiblity of some planet or tother being situated at an optimus distnce conducive for the creation of all biological lives .the fact that we have not come across any so far does not mean that there will be none .

I'm sure we aren't the only ones in the universe...I guess they are at home.. They probably are superior than us..From the news reports seems like everyone is superior to us!!!

ther is a 80% possibility.as there are 50 billion galxies in the universe which is expanding every second, there may be more solar systems with even more planets containing life in them. we dont know whether they are superior to us as we have still not seen any.but some people claim to have been kidnapped by them and later sent back to earth.you never know!!!!

The kinds of things done in war will give you enough evidence that we human species are quite alien in nature.
We are the aliens to mankind and humanity.
