      Yes I do. The Universe is vast and there will be planets that have a similar make up to ours where life can evolve. We are also assuming that “life” will be what we see on our planet, but it might be very different, perhaps not carbon based, who knows, but yes I would say it is inevitable that there are othher planets with some form of life out there.

      I’ve just answered a very similar question but I’ll go again. Yes, I believe there is life on other planets. It is inconceivable to me that in an almost limitless universe, that there is not another planet with life on it. Whether that life is human like or plant like, or in fact totally, unimaginally different is a different question altogether. I’d put a bet on that if there is life it won’t be small, green and have massive eyes though.

      I love the idea of life on other planets and I really, really want it to be true.

      Given the dimensions of the universe (in both space and time), it would be surprising if life had evolved only here on our planet. However, I keep an open mind about this until there is some evidence: If a guess/ theory/ believe disagrees with experiment, it is wrong (at least if the experiment was performed and interpreted properly).
