Does anyone believe that there is life out there? I mean, who's to say that there isn't another Earth-like planet somewhere else? Scientists have proven that the galaxy is larger than anyone could ever even imagine...so why are we so quick to believe that there couldn't be life anywhere else just because there isn't any on Mars?

Maybe there is maybe there isn't. There has been no proof yet so most people don't really believe there is life in other planets but maybe the galaxy is bigger and there is life there. Life isn't really possible without lots of supplies since other planets atmospheres are different which don't give oxygen.

If we look at how long it took life to evn sprout on earth, from the time of the Big Bang. If we assume this was a very accelerated process, when compared to the average ( which we do not know what that is yet). Then it is highly probable that many planets will develope life at some point in the life-cycle of the universe. During Earth's lifetime, some will while many won't. Not all life will mature at the same rate as Earth, not all life will take the same path as the species of earth. Will we even know other life forms when we come across them, if they are somewhat similiar to wht we have experienced, then yes. If they are vastly different it may not even be possible for the two to know of the other, communicate with the other, or anything what so ever. Perhaps there is life forms who are in the form of energy.
The most likely will be microscopic life and an Earthlike planet is our conception of what is required for life, it does not prove that is the only requirement for life to exist. If we believe the estimate of the scientist that our universe will begin its end in about a few 1000's of trillions of years, then we are still in the infantcy stage, and it is possible we are amoung the first wave of planets to develop life that survive to reach the degree of intelligence. Someone has to be first, why not us as much as another species, why do we always assume the species beyond the stars have to be more advance? Maybe we are the more advanced species at this time, and in a few milleniums we will be the one's travelling beyond the stars into deep space, intergalatic space travel. Just maybe the more often we search for intelligence the more often our search brings us full circle. Then we see how we treat our planet and have to wonder, how intelligent are we really. Smart enough to save a single life, and smart enough to kill an entire planet...huh?

Well If you check on CNN there is a lot more evidence of water on Mars. Which they say could of held intelligent life. There could be life out there but why would they want anything to do with us? If they have mastered space fight then I bet we seem so primitive. So why would they want anything to do with us? They could be here though in fact I know some people that had said they seen an UFO. Well the only way we will ever know is if they land on the White House lawn!

Open-minded, reasonably intelligent people don't discount the possibility of life on other worlds, they just are waiting for some proof.
UFOs are "unidentified flying objects", so they are not proof of anything except there are things we can detect but not yet identify. Whey someone uses the term UFO to mean "life on other planets" they are simply displaying laziness and ignorance of the entire question and study of exo-biology.

Life on mars? Sure...maybe not humanoid....but there has got to be molds and fungi....and maybe much more. Only one with limited ideals would denounce the existence of life beyond the stars - we would be naive to think we are all alone in this vast cosmic wilderness !!!

While life on other planets is quite likely, the distances between such planets are so great as to make travel highly improbable.

there has to be life out there somewhere.maybe not close by but i bet someone else across the vastness of space is asking the same question,and some of them dont believe we exist!
