I just saw where they found a fifh planet in another system with a sun like ours and they said there might be water on its moon.
so what do you think about maybe life there, or other places.

It would be illogical for anyone to deny the possibility of life beyond our planet without first hand exploration of the entire universe. For those who believe everything is only accidental coincidence it would be idiotic to think such randomness only happened on earth. For people who believe in GOD like myself you should know life exist beyond earth, everything biblical points to it. You are promised powers after flesh according to your deeds, what use are powers if there is no place or use for them.
If it was necessary for GOD to say:
" let US make man in OUR image after OUR likeness"
Then who did THEY make not in THEIR image, and where did THEY make them?

I highly doubt it...we are God's special creation here on earth. The rest of the universe was created to show us God's omnipotence and glory. I think Jesus dying once for our sins was probably enough...don't think that God would have taken another chance with another world or worlds with the same game plan as ours. The odds of another planet out there with the right combination of critical features and solar system are incredibly small. Plus, when this world is over and judgement day comes, God will make a new heaven and a new earth...how would that affect some other world with no connection to ours?
Doesn't sound too likely for any other life out there but us.
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
2Peter 3:10-13 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Extra-solar planets are not directly observed. Fluctuations in the light emitted from a star is studied and from that it is inferred that the fluctuation is caused by a planet. None have actually been seen. It is all based upon our own solar system serving as a model. Moons prove even more difficult to detect, so saying that one may hold water is supposition.
Something could have eaten the entire universe outside of our galaxy just moments ago and we would not discover it until far into the future.

With the great enormity of the universe, I think its very likely that there's life on other planets. I think that it's a lot less likely that extraterrestrials will have the capabilities and inclination to come to earth, but I wouldn't rule it out.

I don't deny the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Given the number of galaxies in the universe (over 100 billion!), the number of stars in just our galaxy (~100 billion!), the number of planets, moons, and other significant objects in just our solar system, and given that life exists on at LEAST one of these, I think it's safe to conclude that extraterrestrial life is probable.

I actually think it's easier for creationists to believe in life on other planets than it is for evolutionists. After all, evolution, if it happened, was a pretty unexpected outcome statistically speaking--not the later adaptation so much as that first spark from the primordial soup. What are the odds that it happened multiple times on different planets? Seems easier to believe that one entity deliberately created life in multiple places.
Just my two cents.

Life on other worlds is at the heart of some of my beliefs. The very fact that humans are not unique (maybe only in our evolution) and special we are just average like every other species in the cosmos,

For Christians there's no biblical reason not to admit the possibility of life elsewhere. The discovery of more truth is not a threat to existing truth.

I think life on other planets is as inevitable as our inability to interact with life on other planets. It certainly exists, and we will never be able to do anything except communicate in messages staggered by centuries.

No
I consider myself an Atheist as of lately but I believe in Raelianism - Extra-terrestrials are real and had a hand in our creation and evolution.
