Absolutely there are living things other than us. In fact, there's a space mission that's slowly being planned. A moon of Jupiter called Europa that is thought to have animals on it. It's about the same size as Earth and it has heated water underneath the top several miles of ice. We've found life in fresh water lakes under the ice in Antarctica, why not out there?
But to think of the size, the enormity of space, and not think there is any other life, is completely ridiculous. The odds against it are so astronomical (pun intended), it could never happen. There are millions of stars, trillions of planets. I'm baffled by how anyone can argue the otherwise.
You're not crazy.

You are not crazy.
I believe that life is inevitable in the universe, wherever possible.
And that is just thinking of life forms "as we know them", i.e. based on Carbon and needing water and Oxygen.
But there might be other forms of life unknown to us.
Because, after all, life is just organized matter capable of extracting from the environment the energy to maintain the organization and for replicating itself.
Difficult? Yes! Improbable? Absolutely!
But think of a practically infinite universe with billions of years of existence.
Every possible combination, even as improbable as winning a lottery first price, will have occurred in countless occasions in as many planets, and once a working replicating combination of molecules is reached, it will almost inevitably spread itself to the nearby systems, aided by explosions, collisions and other cosmic accidents.
Maybe I am the crazy one !

You are not Crazy! That life exists on our planet is a fact. Is there life as we know it on other planets in our universe? I think that is possible, if not likely, just based on probability. After all, there are billions upon billions of stars that we can see, and the likelihood that some of them have planets revolving around them has been proven by observation--just recently. If you consider life that may have a form different from ours, the odds increase for there being life out there in the stars. Don't let anyone shake your belief. I don't let anyone shake mine.

Every water world is slimed with life. Water is fluid from -40 C (pore water - film trapped between two clean miccoscope slides squeezed together) to above 120 C under modest pressures (the highest temp terrestrial stuff survives at undersea black smokers).

Pond scum is not an interesting conversationalist. SETI empiricaly demonstrates there is no technological civilization within a 50 lightyear radius of Earth.

Yes. But either they are far more technologically superior and are watching us, or have died out, or are just starting out.
In my opinion, SETI is near useless (even though I subscribe and do workloads); technologically advanced civilizations, if there is in fact a way to traverse space quickly (both in ship and on ground), the communications technology used would be beyond our grasp.
Think about it, what if the dinos hadn't died out and had the chance to become intelligent? Even if they took 64 million years to do so, the dino civilization would be far superior (years wise) to our own. Heck, they even could have died out after becoming superior, by cataclysmic disaster or otherwise.
We have a technological lifespan of about 100 years. In geologic time, that's practically zero.

The Universe is a pretty damn big place. I've always believed that there were other life forms out there. The odds are pretty small, given the sheer size od the Universe, that we are the ONLY planet that can house life.

Of course there are living things in the universe! They say the planet earth has life galore! Life is in the unseen dimensions we have (10 at last count). Anything and everything you can think of exists, we just haven't found anything yet.

There is a large probility that there is life on other planets.
However, the universe is not infinite and therefore while the
odds might favor life there is still a chance that there is none.

The universe is just too big for us to be the only sentient life form in it.

well, I don't know if there are living things in the universe... I suppose so... I'm just happy to be a living thing in the universe...
who knows... maybe in some planets, in some galaxies, there is someone else who is asking himself/herself the same question...
