Yes. For example, your food is all life from the known universe that isn't us :p
As for beyond Earth, we have not yet identified any, having never investigated any other star systems up close. Statistically it is highly likely, considering that the size of the odds of conditions being conductive for life on Earth are dwarfed by the number of worlds just in the local neighbourhood, let alone entire universe.
Then again, there are probably Earth bacteria dormant on the probes we have sent out, in deep space, on the moon and mars, still surviving. So yes, there is known life in extra-terrestrial environments, but it is terrestrial in origin.

Most likely.
Do the math. Given everything the Hubble has discovered, it would be uncommon for their NOT to be at least another planet with trees, or more dinosaurs or something. Just think what this planet has gone through and the hundreds of thousands of lifeforms we have living in all sorts of conditions. How can we say we are the only thing in the entre Universe? Its a bg place. Will we ever find the others? Maybe not in our lifetime but ya never can tell.

To this day there is no confirmed report of another universe with life but scientists have found so called planets like ours that might be life supporting. I think that the universe is just so immense that we can't be the only life forms in this universe. Hope this helps, Matt

Given the right conditions, is life inevitable? If life is inevitable, does it need to be complex, like animals and plants? If it is complex, does it need to be as intelligent like ours? If there is life out there, we may never know, unless it starts generating electromagnetic waves that we can detect and decipher. If it has stopped at some level like the single celled organism, or dinosaurs, or Neanderthals, we may never know, since we would have to visit to find out.

No, not known. Most people and scientists assume there is live on other planets, but so far none has been found.
