There over 200 billion stars w/ rotating planets in the Milky Way and over 200 billion galaxies in the universe. How could there not be life out there? It’s naive to think that a single planet, of the trillions in the universe, can’t be rotating at the proper distance from its star! And couldn't we rule out any evidence of SETI and Kepler Mission do to the vast distance of space? There could be life on Pluto and the SETI Institute wouldn't know it because their searching for signals.And Kepler could be pointed the wrong way! We’ve explored a fraction of what’s out there and just because we can’t see it, you can’t rule it out. It’s a big *** universe! (Known Universe: that’s another argument).

I tend to agree with the late Dr. Carl Sagan: Either we're "it" and the closest thing to other life out there are "noble gases".....or.....other intelligent humanoid like life out there are too far for them to come to us and vice versa. Personally, I lean towards the latter suggestion.
I believe Earth's perfect clone exists----but it's too far for us to reach it.....at this time; we'd need help getting there....a-hemmmm.......
When Stephen Hawking ( I love hearing him "talk", using that amazing voice machine---which he created ) was asked his take on the possibilities of intelligent, he offered something to the effect of:
"Our introduction upon the arrival of intelligent life might have THEM look upon us as "puny ants", when they quickly assess their technology is millions of years advanced compared to ours. Given one's common action upon seeing ants---we might hasten our wish to be greeted by extraterrestrial life......" I suspect Hawking may have seen the film "Independence Day" when he offered his opinion---but logically, he DOES lend logical merit; do we REALLY want to meet E.T.????
Unless you factor in Ancient Astronaut theories---clearly another category of debate in itself.
