Well my definition of life is purely scientific. Life is a state that organic objects through metabolic, reproduction and adaptation to local environments possess, which makes them different to inorganic objects.
The probability that life is present in other planets is highly likely in my opinion. Consider this, we are one solar system in 1 galaxy. There are hundreds of galaxies in the Universe with billions of stars! Its extremely possible that life has evolved elsewhere with these odds. Oh and another funny story, well its not really funny; when people collected the debris from the Columbia, they found that a sample of bacteria taken up there had actually survived the crash. If bacteria can prove to be so resilient in outer-space conditions, I think its possible that they're on other planets.

We have no scientific way to calculate the probability, so any number I gave would just be a wild guess. My wild guess is that there is about a 99% probability of life somewhere else in space. And that includes intelligent life. By life I mean life as we know it on Earth, based on carbon and liquid water chemistry, with cells, plants and animals.

It is a 50-50 chanace that there is other life forms in space. Nobody really knows,but from all the UFOs seen like the one near Phoenix, Arizona. There are so many diffrent explanations. If you want more info on other life forms go to ::::::::: http://www.spacelifeforms.com this has alot of info on it. I say that there is other life forms out there, I've seen a strange thing in the sky once or twice... It looked like a plane but when I saw anther light apper I got starled. So I hope my info helped. Thank you for you cooperation,

We are here. So why should we assume that we are the only life forms in the universe? I just believe that it is a bit presumptuous to believe that we are the only life forms, intelligent or not, in the infinite space that is the universe.

Given an enormous (if not infinite; that I cannot say) number of planets capable of supporting life (beings who change in opposition to their planet), I have to think there is a huge number on which life exists. The possibility of any of them approaching us in our lifetime approaches zero.

google "drake equation" and "green bank theory"
both terms show the probablity of, among other things, probability of planets that can support life, number of planets with oxygen, nitrogen, water, number of planets with intelligent life...etc
hope this helps...

It originated and evolved here with little difficulty, almost as soon as it could. I'd say that makes the chances of it being elsewhere pretty much 100%.

basically 100% because we live on just one planet in one solar system and the universe is incredibly, mind-bogglingly huge

catholic to catholic, i would say if God put so much effort into us humans, then what makes you think he would work with something else?
