Tom say: Their? Whose?

bubby say: Odds are in favor that life, including intelligent life, has happened before and will happen again.

Thomas E say: Perhaps not in our Solar System besides Earth, (we're still checking), but very likely in our galaxy. Roswell wasn't a fluke.

mars say: I'd say yes. Note the Drake Equation (N = R* • f/p • n/e • f / • f / • f/c • L). The odds are that many planets have life.

Abbott say: Given the extent of time and space one has to ask, which is more amazing: That we are alone, always have been always will be; or that the universe teems with life at conveniently vast distances in time and space?

Mutt say: At this time, it is only confirmed that life exists on Earth, and no where else. But we have not really looked hard at other places, other than Mars and our Moon. There have been no evidence of life existing, or having existed in the past on either of these two celestial bodies.
This does not mean there is no life out there. I like to think, and (I like to assume) most other people think that there is life somewhere else in the Universe. It's just that the Universe is a really, really, really, really big place, and we don't have sufficient tools to discover any life outside out solar system (which we also have not fully explored for life). But, to paraphrase a quote by Carl Sagan, because the Universe is a really, really, really, really big place, it would be such a waste of space if there was no other life out there.
Do a little research on "Drakes Equation". It's displayed as a mathematical equation, but there is no real solution to it. It's much more of a thought experiment to show the possibility of life existing out there someplace.
