Hello Cutie:
Yes I do. However, it is important for you to understand that there is a real serious issue with "time." The Earth is some 4 Billion Years old. But, "life", as in living creatures, has only been here for some 20,000 to 50,000 years. Intelligent Human life capable of space travels, etc., has only been here for the last 50 years or so - Space Probes, Moon Landings, Space Stations, Sattelites, Deep Space radio signals, etc...all within the last 50 years or so.
Now, 50 years out of 4 Billion years is a teeny slice of time.
How do you suppose we will be able to know the exact moment to discover a planet with life on it that is well developed? Life on that planet could not have really developed yet - plant stage, fish stage, birds stage, etc.
Intelligent life on that distant planet might be really smart fish...
You see, the idea that life might develop in lock-step with development of life on Earth is a real long stretch of the possibilities that exist out there. It is entirely possible that we will discover a planet with equivalence to Earth where life did exist but was killed off by some massive natural occurance such as asteroid collision or core shifting/realignment. Or, life might not have started there yet.

Well, so far as I understand, the big tortoise that you simply acknowledged lives the longest. About a hundred and fifty-one hundred eighty years in captivity. If I bear in mind competently, Turkey Buzzards too can are living to be really historical, might be someplace round a hundred and ten years of age. When I first learn your query, however now not the main points, I was once considering you have been going to invite approximately residing fossils. These are animals/fish/and so forth. that experience modified little or no over notable time spans. One such illustration is the Coelacanth. A fish that was once inspiration to have turn out to be extinct within the Cretaceous interval (I.e. approximately one hundred million years in the past, while Dinosaurs have been nonetheless round). Man have been they amazed while one was once fished up off the coast of Africa in 1938. They've determined a couple of when you consider that then.

yes i do we just don't have the technology to find it there are 2 ways to look at it.
1. if life on earth was created by an accident then why couldn't it happen again some where out there. but the life on earth is way to perfect to be an accident.
2. i think we would be vain to think that we are all God created it says in the bible that he once regretted creating man. so its possible since things didn't quite work out the way he intended it to on earth that he started over some where else. or maybe we were not the first creation. there could be millions of Galaxy's out there with life we just haven't achieved the technology to reach them. or god has made sure that we will never reach them in order to stop the sin on earth from spreading.
what ever the case is i don't believe we are all there is

Of course there are, and I think so for the same reasons as everyone else on this page. But nobody's ever thought about the fact that there is a planet out there (or planets) that is home to an intelligent species that's probably asking the same thing. Or has the same minority of crazy u.f.o. enthusiasts. Maybe some planet out there is experiencing a War of the Worlds kind of thing with another planet!

definately. A new planet is created several times a day. There are an unnumerable number of planets out there, and only one needs conditions suitable for life. Also, the animals would have evolved differently on other planets which would make it more likely for a planet to support some fomr of life

Absolutely without a doubt there are living creatures outside this planet.

Ok there must be but do you really think we can comunicate with them. Even if they are near Proxima Centauri it would take 4.2 years to send a messgae there and another 4.2 to get a reaply assuming they can comunicate and understand the messgae. The only way for us to find intelegent life will be luck.

In this galaxy alone, there are billions of stars, which may have billions of planets. There will be a lot of life in this galaxy alone.
But it depend on what kind of life you expect will exist, amoeba will likely exist in one of ten star systems, insect will likely exist in one of a million star system, complex animals will exist in one of a billion star system. Intellegent life will be rare, but once they exist they will conquer a galaxy in about 100000 years. So I am confidence that there are no lifeform with more advanced intellegence than ours in the galaxy, as their existence will be obvious to us.
But our galaxy is just a dot in the universe, but its is unlikely for us to meet them except we can life for 1 million years.

Out of the billions of galaxies out there and the trillions of planets there has to be life on another.

there have been before on mars and there is plausible evidence brought back in rock samples from there - creatures found in fossils of the rocks
