I think so. If the universe is expanding and it takes us more than 2 years while traveling at the speed of light to reach the next solar system and there are an uncountable number of solar systems, we are a small speck in the grand scheme of things. Most likely in some distant galaxy, there is life, but there is no way for us to prove or know this and no way for them to know of us either. It's kinda weird if you think about it.

As far as we know there is no definitive proof, of life anywhere besides planet earth. However, one should keep in mind that the universe is VERY VERY VERY VERY big. Meaning there is a lot of space out there. Now, since I cant give you "yes" or "no" answer, I can offer you this. In our very own solar system there is, I believe, a very good chance that life may reside on another celestial body besides Earth. The planet we call Jupiter, the largest in our solar system, has 63 moons or satellites as the science community calls them. One of these moons as offered up some interesting secrets. Europa, 44.5 light minutes from earth, is covered by a 15 mile deep layer of ice. Whats beneath this ice is what all the talk is about. Beneath this ice, warmed by thermal vents, a salty ocean much like our own may nurture life. However, it cannot be proven. However, the question you asked is an amazing one. You have pondered if there may be more than yourself, that there maybe more than we know. When we finally discover life outside of planet earth, and we will find it eventually, we will finally know that life is not a fluke or a mistake of physical systems. We will know that given correct conditions life is almost inevitable.

They have seen many planets circling suns out there ,and some are BLUE planets, blue is the colour of life, as our planet is blue from space, so yes theres millions of planets with life and one would assume some will have life that has progressed for millions of years and yes i did see a large silver saucer shaped craft one day hovering a few hundred feet in the air and it was NOT a darn balloon it was a craft,it emitted no exhaust this was 34 years ago, no way they had anything on earth that could hover like that and the shape of it was way different then anything we have so there here ,but why are they here?Is the real question,why did all of a sudden 50.000 years ago did we get intelligent and form towns and invent things and such,they messed with out DNA is why .were 98% chimp dna in us.and 2% ,,?they take children for slaves?

I am sure. Well I believe there is. I think that their are several different worlds out there and they adapt to their own planet like we do to ours. What I mean by that is, If we were to go to Venus for example we would die because the conditions are deadly but that is their enviroment and their bodies are made to be in that kind of atmosphere. I really do think almost everyone of the planets and maybe some we have not discovered are out there and there's people on them that look totally different then us and have different Gods they believe of. It's not impossible because nobody on planet Earth has been to these planets so how do we know? we don't and we don't have any room to say there isn't but we also don't have room to say there is but this is just my opinion on the subject and everyone has their own right to say what they think. I just believe the planets have "creatures" on them!

In an infinite universe there are an infinite number of possibilities, therefore there have to be creatures on other planets.
Also, it does not say anything in the bible about whether or not god created life on other planets.

We have yet to see evidence of "creatures" as they're typically defined (multi-celled complex organisms). But there is water on other planets, and no reason to belive there couldn't be simple organisms (single celled bacteria or viruses) on other planets.

Yes there are but theyre eitehr tiny microscopic or bug like..theyre equated to extremophile creatures similar to the ones here on earth. Theyre creatures that live in extreme conditions(like extremely hot, or extreme cold, or extreme dry).
These creatures are found either in meteor rocks or theyve been found on mars since there has been indicative of some tiny amounts of water there.

noone can say for sure. although it is highly likely. just think, there are billions of galaxies. and within each of those galaxies there are billions of stars. certainly, there is a likelihood that at least one of those stars has a solar system with one planet that has similar conditions to those of earth, i.e. they can support life.

There is micro-organisms found beneath the surface of IO (or was it Europa?)
Well, anyways, it was found on one of Jupiter's moons.
So yes, there are creatures on other planets.

Not that we know of. My guess would be yes, somewhere - there are billions of planets in the universe.
But that we've ever seen? Nope.
