"if there is nothing out there, it would be an awful waist of space."

A recent scientific study estimates that there are AT LEAST 70-sextillion stars in the universe, one of which is of course are own sun. The odds AGAINST none of those other stars having planets occupied by sentient life are astronomical (pun intended). Undoubtedly of all the life forms that exist in the universe some are technologically at the same level as we are, while others are at least several thousand years ahead of us. Still others might be where we were 3-million years ago---just down from the trees. Certainly, any alien life with any intelligence at all must wonder if there are other life forms somewhere other than their own world.

I think you were watching a sci-fi show, maybe artist's conceptions of planets in other systems. We can confirm that the other planets exist by watching for gravitational anomolies but our tech isn't up to the task.

I DONT THINK THAT WE R  ALONE . WE HAVE SEEN A FEW SIGNS OF XTRA TERRESTRIAL LIFE AND IT  IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE OTHER LIVING ORGANISMS INHABITED PLANETS

There is, sadly, no evidence of aliens.  I'd love to encounter visitors from another planet (of the peaceful variety, at least, I'm not looking forward to a real-life game of Space Invaders!), but there don't seem to be any.  Maybe we all smell funny.\n\nThe evidence against the so-called alien encounter stories is pretty telling.  Look up "spleep paralysis" for an explanation that covers the "alien abductions".\n\nBut, while I don't beleive earth is being visited, that doesn't mean I believe it isn't happening, just that the people who say they are meeting aliens seem to be wrong.  If aliens are here, they're being very quiet, observing us like biologists behind blinds.\n\nLife seems pretty easy to develop in the right circumstances.  I expect the universe will be full of life, though most of it will be of the bacterial level of complexity, getting no further.  I would be surprised if there weren't other intelligences out there somewhere, though.  It just doesn't seem that difficult to evolve.  Still, I don't know and I won't pretend I do.  Here's hoping!\n\nAs my father says, either there's life out there or there isn't.  Either way, it's amazing.

life exists on other planets.  it may be something like bacteria, or something large and intelligent.  life was created by chance though, and Earth had 6 mass extinctions where each had the potential to stop life in its tracks.  ironcaly, the extinctions caused evolution to speed up, but thats getting off the subject.  if life is on other planets, which i amm sure of, they will be like nothing any human can think of.  look at earth and how only a continent away can cause large differences in animals.  the planet will provide different challenges for life and evolution to overcome, the life might not even have DNA and RNA, they may have a completely different nucleic acid/genetic material.  its unlikely we will ever find them within the next century, though.  we simply wont have the space travel capabilities.  in time, though, i am positive that we will stumble across life, may be just odd bacteria or could be something like the aliens from ALIEN or the Covenant from Halo games.  we just dont know.  lizard-men?  highly unlikely.

Life exists almost everywhere on earth, and it has many forms.  Some of which are almost impossible to detect and it's debated whether they're actually "life" (like virii).\n\nIf it could be proven either way, I would bet my worldly posessions and my right arm that there is some sort of life beyond Earth.  They might not be carbon-based or water-based, but I am certain that there are objects out there that consume things, grow, reproduce, and possibly defend themselves or even have rational consciousness.\n\nAs for some alien being looking just like a human and living among us, that's a different story.  I can't see two independent strains of life coming out so similar, especially considering the variety right here on our little planet.  Either we'd all be from alien roots, or the "aliens" would have originated from earthly roots.

Sure why not.\n\nJust look up in the night sky. There are so many starts we can see, and untold planets we can't. This is just one galaxy. There are so many more out there in the univers. It is really silly to think that with all those planets, ours is the only one that has life.\nOur planet is still a young one. I'm sure there are life forms on other planets that have technology we can't begin to comprehend

Well.. \nI'm more scientific than religious in this matter. \nThe reason Earth has life is because of the certain climate, temperature, etc. which is perfect for life. \nHowever, there are always news stories about "possible life on mars" and as such. And I believe that for life to form, there needs to be a certain set conditions which allow life to be formed and which support and maintain it. \n\nTherefore,  most definitely there could have been life in other planets, maybe some organisms or something else which is suited to that planet's climate, temp. and etc. It could be that we either can not detect that life on the other planets or the planet is undergoing some sort of climatic change which does not support life due to variant pressures. \n\nDid god stop at Earth-- well, that is a question which is a matter of belief- if we consider god as a positive force which stimulates life- then no, god wouldn't have stopped only on Earth. \n\nSome research even claims that there are other solar systems with other stars (like our Sun) in which a planet is very like Earth- almost same which supports life. \n\nSo, whether life is or not- is a personal decision. I think there is- but as you say, there is no real solid evidence supporting or contradicting existence of life in other planets

I haven't actually met any life forms face to face, but there certainly seems to be some extremely strange beings registered with YAHOO!ANSWERS. Some of the questions posted just defy answering or reading - the English language obviously provides many of the alien 'life' forms, already on our planet and with Internet access, with a problem, they have difficulty forming intelligible phrases. I do, however, admire their persistence and efforts to communicate. Keep up the good work and hope to see you soon down the pub for a pint.

>>>>No one denies that there is intelligent life outside of\n>>>> earth, so I want to hear about undeniable evidence of\n>>>> contact w/ this planet.\n\nYou do realise this is what is called the fallacy of the undistributed middle? It doens't work that way. \n\nI don't that life exists elsewhere in the universe, nor do I deny that God exists, nor do I deny that reincarnation occurs, nor do I deny the existence of fairies.\n\nThat doesn't mean that I claim to have evidence for any of those things. On the contrary I am firmly convinced that evidence for those things does not exist.\n\nBut absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. So I won't deny those things exist until such time as I have eviddnce that they don't exist. I will instead keep an open mind while operating on the assumption that they dont; exist.\n\nThat's how science works. It doesn't just accept without evidence, nor does it deny without evidence.

Life has to be on other planets throughout the Universe - it's statiscally impossible that Earth was the only planet where life evolved - unless of course you are a staunch Christian and don't believe in the evidence or statistics!

i believe in ufo s.  there must be other life in the universe. more advanced than us. probably watching us now destroying our own planet. i have read accounts of pilots in world war two .ufo s flying near planes just watching the pilots and observing us.

Yes!  I think it could most definitely happen to us.  One would have to be very naive and simple-minded to think it could not happen.  Many people don't let current FACTS actually sink into their brain.  There are so many conditions on other planets that are habitable for small organisms.  Certain bacteria(extremophiles) thrive on extreme living conditions.  That is how life started on our planet, and if nothing else there are definitely other forms of life elsewhere.  But still, someone would have to be so self involved to think that there couldn't possibly be a other life form of superior intelligence.

the magical composition for a planet to have life on has extraordinary complexity therefor life as we know it in the millions of planets we know so far about is almost impossible but not impossible . perhaps life does exist but not in the way we would expect or could possibly think of . lets not forget that even when we have been for so long in this planet it continues to amaze us , so translating that to the universe i think is just a matter of time before find what we less expected in the most unusual ways .

Yes, it is entirely possible that there could be planets in other galaxies with life on them. There is nothing preventing the same conditions on our world being found on another world. It doesn't matter what people think about "aliens visiting our planet" or whether we can know about life out there. It definitely is possible.\n\nAs for the comment from Iamtheweasel: The bible doesn't say that you exist, but there you are! I don't mean to be rude, but does the Bible really have to say everything explicitly for it to be true, or even probable? It absolutely does not contradict that there is life on other worlds. From a fellow Christian, please don't be so closed-minded, especially by using a "No true Scotsman" fallacy of definition to define a Christian as one who doesn't think it's probable that there is life on other worlds.

Yes, I believe there is life on the other side. I do not believe in hell though.
