well, we don't really know man, signs of possible life are on mars, but we haven't gotten close enough to any other planets to tell for sure. From what we think, no ( for our universe). but I personally believe that there is other life somewhere.....

Quite possibly but not on likely on any planet in our Solar Systen. More that 200 stars are now known to have planets orbiting them. The planets that have been discovered are Jupiter size and larger. Where there are planets that size there may be smaller planets orbiting the star that are earth size and can support life.
Wherther the life is intelligent is another matter as life can be anything from a single celled organism to a tree to a mammal.
Within our Solar System, Mars may have life. The life would be very primitive because of the extremes of the Martian weather but now that water has been found in the form of underground frozen lakes there is a better chance for life there.
One of the moons of Jupiter, Europa may also have life under its icy surface.

This is something scientists, and humans in general, have wanted an answer to for a long time... but unfortunately we don't have one. Most scientists think that there probably is, simply because the universe is so vastly large and there are a calculated billions of planets that would be capable of supporting life. So it stands to reason that if there are this many planets that could do it, and ours happened to do it, then it probably happened in other places as well. However, there is no concrete evidence that this is the case. Life on earth is currently the only life that is known.

Most probably, yes, although we haven't found it yet. There could be life on other bodies in our solar system - Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, is a good possibility.
The most successful life forms on our planet are the single celled creatures which are found everywhere on all continents, throughout the oceans and kilometres into the earth. It is most likely that life elsewhere will be single celled creatures as well.
There are about 300billion stars in our galaxy. Not all of them have planets but those that do have more than one so an estimate of 300billion planets in the galaxy would be fair. There are about 300billion other galaxies out there. That gives us about 90,000billion planets. If 1% of those planets are earth-like that gives us 900billion earth-like planets. If 1% of those have water that gives us 9billion earth-like planets with water. If 1% of earth-like planets with water produce life that gives us 90million planets with life on them. That doesn't even look at moons that could produce life.
The probablility of life elsewhere is very high but the chances of our finding it outside the solar system are minuscule because of the distances involved.

There are absolutly countless stars in the unniverse they might have 10 or 20 planets say round each one. Although we are lucky in the probability of having a planet that is right for humans to live on, i think it is VERY HIGHLY probable that there is life a another planet somewhere. It doesn't have to be carbon based like we. Just think of the crazy beastys that could be out there!!

The way I see it...like the others have said, there's millions of stars out there, many w/ there own planets, so it would only make sense to me that we cannot be the only planet in the universe...that has a sun that emits as much power as ours, and we can't be the only planet orbiting the sun at this distance, with our atmospheric pressure, and water. There's soo many more planets out there, I think that at least 1 would be similar to ours.

I think that both evolutionists and creationists would think that there is. For Evo's, the universe is so immense that the odds have to be in favor that life of some sort has developed on other planets. For Creationists, for whatever reason they believe that God created them, why would he stop with just one planet?

I think that there is life on Mars. Space scientists have gone to the Mars and observed water. so there must be someone living on other planets as well.

First you have to define "life".
