If the laws of nature are constant throughout the universe then yes. There are 10*22 (or 23 or 24; it's a big number) calculated stars in the universe, many with multiple planets. There's a good chance for intel life in this galaxy alone.

I absolutely believe there are other life forms out there. The universe is too big for it not to. But I do not believe we have found any of them (unless Roswell really happened... unlikely).
I do not agree with scientists who are looking for planets similar to earth though. They are looking for a specific size star, with a specific size planet that is within a range of distances. Who's to say life has to develop in the same conditions we did? Just because we are carbon based life forms doesn't mean everywhere life has to be carbon based. It's so narrow minded.

Of course!
How silly is it to assume that out of millions of stars, each with it's own system of twice as many millions of planets, only one planet can support our kind of life? How silly is it to assume that because we can't see or hear them, they don't communicate with us through our own technology, that we must be alone in this gigantic universe?
If this were true, that we are completely alone in the entire universe, that we "evovled" almost completely randomly, mean the odds of human being even randomly developing to our current form of existence are too staggering to accept.
I believe the God who created our planet and us humans has provided other planets for people like us, also in His image. I believe that when we finally 'evolve' to a phase of existence where we have finally accomplished world peace and don't have the desire to kill, take apart, and study life from other planets, but accept all things, we will be ready to learn of life on planets belonging to God's other children.
In the meantime, you and I and everyone else need to learn how to get along with one another.
Hi, my name is Enn, and I have traveled in my imagination to other planets in my complete boredom in High School history, cheesy too easy English, and social sciences classes that got me nowhere...

Maybe but there is no proof. NASA thinks that there are bactiria down Mars polar ice cap, so there sending a probe with a drill to mars. But to my opinion i think there are other living life formes, but not people.
The weather would be either too cold or too hot.
Hope this helps.

Sure why not, but we as humans, continue to look for Earthly things to state life is existent.
How could this be if another world is just that, another, new world and it's inhabitants are not of the human race or anything Earthly for that matter.

Probably the Universe is huge beyond our imagination.

i assume by you saying people you mean other humans. no i do not believe there are other humans in the universe, but there is definitely other life/beings out there.

Possible and probable but no way of telling surely now.
