Yes.
Where? I'm talking Solar Sytem planets and moons here.
Europa ties with Mars; liquid water ocean under her ice crust, organics and an energy source (geothermal). We should be looking a lot closer at Europa... but Mars is much easier to get to. Next I would say Enceladus, a tiny moon of Saturn, which also has the 3 requirements... probably. Ganymede and Callisto have oceans 100 miles under the ice crust surface... but what energy sources?
A long shot would be Titan although its pretty cold there; it would have to be "life as we don't know it" and use something else besides water as a liquid solvent. The dark horses would be Venus (in the clouds 50 miles up) and Io which has a lot of energy sources; again life as we don't know it.
And there is always the Jovian planets which have huge atmospheres with clouds that have Earth-like conditions of temperature and pressure.. but can life form in a gas or does it need a liquid (ocean)? I suspect life is pretty much everywhere there is (1) liquid water (2) organic carbon-based chemistry happening (food) and (3) an energy source life can utilize for metabolism.

Hi Rhonda,
Considering the vast number of other galaxies and solar systems
in the universe (billions and billions), I firmly believe there IS life
forms on other planets. It is highly unlikely that only one planet in
over ten billion planets has intelligent life. Yes, Rhonda, there is
life elsewhere in this universe--somewhere.

I believe that if the universe is truly infinite, there HAS to be life elsewhere. Even if its just a single-celled organism, it would still count.

Stargazer explained it a lot better, and knows things that i don't. But i think there is life somewhere out there. It has to be. The universe is HUGE. It's very likely that life conditions are available somewhere else. Maybe life as we know it, and as we don't, or could even imagine.

Would be damn boring if there was not ar?
And to be more professional, the chance that earth is realy the onlye poppulated planet in the univerce is quite small, but what realy matters is, do we have any neighour who is near enought for communication, or even travel.

no there is no longer existence on the different planets God made the planet earth for persons to proceed to exist. no person ought to proceed to exist the different planets and if there have been we would have got here across them with the help of now.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

there are two ways this can be thought.
We have not contacted there so there not there.
OR
There has to be because if there was not that would be alot of wasted space.
