No, I don't. But who knows?

There has to be life on planets around other stars in the galaxy and beyond. The odds of there only being life on Earth is so remote as to be ridiculous. The question is whether the life could be considered to be intelligent is another matter. After all life is anything from a single celled bacteria, to a tree to a human being.

Yes, Look at all the planets we are finding around other Star systems now. If you want to work out the number for yourself , check of the Drake Equation on line. Just use any search engine.

With the billions and billions of other solar systems the chance of life existing on at least one other planet is very good. That life form would probably be totally different from ours. However, we will probably never know.
Even if that life form were extremely advanced, as compared to human life on earth, the odds of them finding us among the billions of locations is very, very remote.
My question to them would be, "How did you survive technology?"
(Hey, teffy3, Carl Sagan said that.)

As I've heard said, and to paraphrase, with all the stars in the universe, more in number than all the grains of sand on all of earths beaches, to believe there is no other life out there, is ego-centric to the point of ignorant. To refuse to believe just for lack of proof, and dig ones heels in and refuse to even consider a possibility for all we know, shows how unworthy some are.

Yes I do, but I doubt that there's any that we will actually find- chances are any advanced life will be several light-decades away at least. Accordingt o the "rare earth" hypothesis, imicrobial life may be more common. There MAY be life on the moon Europa. I doubt we'll see any elsewhere for a while.

I'd say the odds are heavily in favour of life on other planets. Advanced technological species such as ourselves are likely to be much rarer, but in the vastness of the galaxy and wider universe there are still likely to be many, many examples.

Absolutely YES! The chances of life on other planets is extremely extremely high.......even the moon Europa in our own Solar system is suspected to contain life underneath it's ice.....

if you look up at the sky at night and see how many stars there are, now think of our sun as one of those stars, what do you suppose the possibilities are that one of those stars could support a planet capable of sustaining life?!
it would also fall on your definition of "life"

Yes maybe in another universe.. It doesn't appear likely that we have life on other planets in our solar system. But, I can't not say there is not life elsewhere.
