There are likely other "Earth-like" planets in our galaxy, but none that we know of. Earth's conditions are particularly hard to come by. Its the right size, has the proper material components, and is the right distance from our sun to allow life to prosper and evolve. Scientists have estimated the number of these types of planets, but we really have no way to know without more information. Its also possible that planets with completely different conditions could support a different type of life. We are familiar with carbon-based, oxygen/CO2 consuming cells... but who knows what other life may have developed under different conditions.

--No where! That is if you wish to believe in God & the Bible?
--Please note the Earth is distinguised as being one, no other mention of the only scenario of a planet being habited!
(Genesis 1:1) “Genesis 1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
--In this next statement, please note the heavens or universe and THE EARTH--again distinquised:
(Genesis 2:1) “2 Thus the heavens and the earth and all their army came to their completion.”
--Earth, not earths!
--Why would God distinguish the earth so readily if there was another inhabited planet?
----No other planet is even mentioned in the Bible, where as the Bible states-- he names every individual star (Isaiah 40)and also refers to specific constellations, by name!(Job 38)

No. If it's Earth, it's not another planet; and if it's another planet (regardless of how much it may resemble Earth), it's not Earth.

Nope just the one, there are many other terrestrial planets even a couple in our solar system but no other "earths".

I could say 'Yes', I could say 'No'! Either answer, I would be 'Right' or I would be 'Wrong'.
But the truth of the matter is, neither you nor I or anyone in this forum would be able to prove or disprove either answer! ;-)
