There's probably bacteria and such existing out there in the universe, but I doubt there's meaningfully intelligent life out there...

Tallima: I attended an MIT profs' lecture and there he said the chance of spontaneously creating a living cell was 1 in 100 times the proton masses of the known universe (I think it was 1x10 to the 40).

tinyE: Yes but living by what standards? Goes back to what we discussed earlier in the thread. I'm not saying your point ins't valid, it's very valid, and while I do believe in life out there I don't just assume how obvious it is based on sheer number of planets. But I just think we need to guard against basing the possibility of life on our current understanding of life.

In grade school I had a teacher who drove me nuts because he used to claim, "There can't be life on that planet because there is no oxygen."

-Who's to day it breaths oxygen?

"There's no carbon! Life needs carbon."

-No, carbon based life needs carbon. How do we know it's not based on something else? How do we know it's not based on an element we don't even know about?
Have you seen the theories on dust based life? I personally find it very interesting:

No, there will be no civilizations of dust aliens out there since the universe isn't old enough but it would be interesting to observe.

Good, Humans... good. Keep on debating.
You will see. Soon you will see.

AlienMind: Defined "extra-terrestrial". Yes. They are called Humans. Recipe for life came from outside.

Kipper: You do know what "EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL" means right? As in EXTRA, and TELLUS, TERRESTRIAL?
Yes, we came not from earth. We came from somewhere else. We are stardust. We are alien. Foreign. Not from here.

Oh and btw there are about 10 other discovered class M planets right now. Religion teachers who always preached the earth was special - eat your heart out. Plus there are aliens not even living on earth in our solar system as we speak. Mars lives.

tinyE: I've had to stop watching "Trough The Wormhole" because I get so depressed about all the things out there I'll never get to learn about or see.
You should be happy if you'll get to play all your games. :P

Given how big the known universe is, I think most likely the conditions leading to life have not been unique to earth; if I had to guess, I'd say there's life in other places. I don't think aliens have ever visited our planet, though.

Do I believe extraterrestrial life exists? Yes. Do I care? Nope. Also, aliens probably look like jellyfish

Okay, you threw me with the last part. :P

Why jellyfish?
Why not chickens or poodles, or green toilet plungers with a hand on top of the handle and one eye set into the palm of the hand?
