The universe is really, really huge. So much planets.Do you believe/not believe that there is another creature living in another planet? And why?

I'm sure that there's some form of life in other places in the universe, but the chance of them ever coming here seems unlikely. I mean they're probably not very close to us, so they'd need some serious technology to arrive here.

I guess first I would have you clarify your definition of creature and living. In the view of creature, you can take the planet. The planet can be living on itself in the forms of volcanoes and storms. But if you want to take living, which can be used in the context of residence; wouldn't the microrganisms found on mars technically be creatures "living" upon the planet.Also in terms of living, breathing, sentient life out there being able to get to us. How the hell do we know what kind of technology they have. There could be life out there 50 times our intellectual capacity that could say harness worm hole travel, like what could be seen in the movie "Contact".

I think there is because people say a comet will crash on earth in 2012, so I sort of think its a alien atacking us from their home!

Well the first thing, we should calrify the meaning of ''live''. The scientist look something like the Earth, but I doubt it will be like that. There is surely some type of 'form of live' out there, is a huge house to be only us. But about technology is something difficult to see. They probably are more advanced or they probably are in the sone age, if we follow our standards. In simple talk, I belive in the existance of live in other planets.

There must be other life forms in the universe all around the places that we haven't discovered............ Well I can't be certain but that doesn't mean that we are the only life-forms/creatures that lives on to this universe. There are possibilities that there are some that is extremely close since we can't say that all planets are barren, so there must be some physical beings out there and who knows what kind of things we will encounter in our life time, possibly we might meet some new creatures out there like tomarrow but I'm sure that the ones that has a high intellect may be far far away........... (hopefully they're not barbarians)

I dont think there is any way there is just us in the whole universe that cant make sense billions and billions of galaxys stars and other planets and people think its just us even if the odds were 900000000:1 there whould probably be 400 earths.

Personally, I think they do exist. They may or may or may not be in another universe.But, yes they would need very serious technology to get here if they are from a different universe.But, that is my opinion

I personally think there are other sentient races out there. However, I don't think they will be even be humanoid shaped. A lot of uncontrolled circumstances have led to why humans look like what we look like. For example, I don't think we would do very well on a planet that is 70% land and very hot. Some other creature with far less of a dependence on water and far greater water retention ability would be there, assuming that water is important to their life at all.

I would suspect there is life out there besides us. Might just be tiny lil micro organisms, but thats all it takes for evolution to create smart thinking apes huh. Well I wish we could see into a billion years, and kill the things that mutate, evolve just like we do here and now. GPs were deducted for this post, please read the rules! - reddeath26

Now i just learned this in biology.Put together some NH3,H2O,CO2,CH4 and give it a little energy and boom you get the building blox.Make them move around and combine and you get nice big chunks of aminoacids.Let a few mutations or whatever happen and boom you have a dividing cell.Its not so hard so it will have happened but it may be destroyed already.And we have no way of knowing as they may have not been intellectual enough and may have lived some 20 million years ago to some 50 million years in the future in a galaxy 80 million light years away.So we won't really know or have any way of knowing so lets not concentrate on finding them and just see whether they send us some signals which pop up on our radio telescopes.So i do believe they exist(maybe unintellectual and very different and undeveloped.But i don't care much as they can't talk to us and vice versa.

As far as life goes, scientists do have some criteria as to what can be classified as "living". To see this list, just look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life. This list is fairly basic, so it can be assumed that if life existed on another planet, it would have these characteristics, and therefore could easily be classified. As for the original question, I believe that the universe is too big to not have another planet with life on it.Well the first thing, we should calrify the meaning of ''live''. The scientist look something like the Earth, but I doubt it will be like that. There is surely some type of 'form of live' out there, is a huge house to be only us.

Well, as far as I can tell, there are quite a few planets in this little universe of ours. And, as far as I can tell, at least one of them has life on it. Of course, that one is situated in such a precise, life-friendly location that would seem highly improbable to have happened in a random model. But, the universe being as large as it is, I'm sure someone else is out there. Why it matters is beyond me, but hey...

There is a really high possibility of life on other planets, but the chance to find life would be remarkable because when we look through telescope at a planet thats 20 million light years away, we're seeing the planet as it was 20 million years ago. Also even if we figure out how to travel through wormholes to this planet we would find something completely different from what we saw through the telescope because 20 million years would have "passed" for the planet.

I believe there are other forms of life out there. However, I think the possibility of it existing is far greater than the possibility of us finding it. We assume that the elements found here on our little planet of Earth are the only building blocks of life - carbon dioxide, water, etc. However, there could be life out there that has developed from other elements we have never seen before, surviving and thriving off compounds we humans cannot. I'm just saying that the entire universe is just way too big to deny any possibility of life, but, as of now, the chances of us finding that one special planet are infinitely small.

That^Our galaxy alone contains millions of stars, most with planets. Consider the fact that even traveling the speed of light it would take 100,000 years just to cross our galaxy, you'd have to figure on the other literally millions of galaxies that we've discovered, there's something out there. Though we'll likely never see it, at least not this millennium.Observable space reaches as far as 13.7 billion light years away (the beginning of the universe as we know it), and if 1 light year = apprx. 5,878,630,000,000 miles, then that's an enormous waste of space (literally) if we're the only ones here.I believe there are other forms of life out there. However, I think the possibility of it existing is far greater than the possibility of us finding it. We assume that the elements found here on our little planet of Earth are the only building blocks of life - carbon dioxide, water, etc. However, there could be life out there that has developed from other elements we have never seen before, surviving and thriving off compounds we humans cannot.

I wouldn't be surprised. Earth was pretty lucky in this solar system to be the right distance from the sun, have a good magnetic field to shield us from radiation, and have all the organic compounds and water necessary for life.But then again there are many planets in the universe, and those same organic compounds aren't that rare (water is pretty common). They can be found on meteorites and in nebulae. And other planets can have magnetic fields and be the right distance from earth as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least bacteria on other planets or even in this solar system.What? Bacteria are creatures, right?

I strongly believe there is life somewhere else in the universe. While it took a lot of factors to support the wide variety of life Earth has (mars sized planet smashing into earth, blowing away the original CO2 that made up the atmosphere, ect.), with the immense number of planets in the universe, it is very likely some of those factors occurred somewhere else as well. There is a theory out there that states that Earth's first water came from meteorites. These meteorites also carried bacteria that converted carbon dioxide into oxygen, which now makes up a fair bit of our atmosphere. If that theory is correct, life already existed in a different part of the universe. Another theory is that while life on earth may depend on certain elements and compound, life somewhere else may depend on other things. Scientists think they have discovered bacteria that can survive off of CH4. If this is true, it could mean that life can survive using many different compounds and elements, greatly increasing the chance of life on other planets. All that being said though, our chance of ever finding this life is very slim to say the least.

I think there are other species out in the stars but I think they just stay away, think about how we treat ourselves, do you think another species wants to risk having that spread to their world?GPs were deducted for this post, please read the rules! - reddeath26

an excerpt from the movie Contact:When Ellie asked her father if there are any people on other planets in other stars?Her father said, "If it's just us, it will be an awful waste of space."I kinda believe there are other lifeforms in other world out there. Scientists and researchers said it should be an exact match to Earth's condition to be able to support life but i don't think that's entirely true. Maybe, for a human like us to live, that's true.. But for other life forms, it doesn't have to be like that. Imagine, the living organisms way below the deepest part of the ocean. How are they able to live in that kind of environment?In order for a life to exists, adaptation is one thing necessary. Those that are more responsive to change will likely to survive that any stronger entity..

I am positive that there is life elsewhere in the cosmos. It is quite likely that there is life far more advanced than our own species. But, as for whether or not there is anything elsewhere in the universe that fits the most basic parameters of life, I have no doubts. It is hard to doubt when you think about the fact that there are some 200-400 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy alone, and that there are some hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Considering how big the universe really is I wouldn't be surprised if there was life on other planets. I would be surprised if we actually met them. It would be kind of scary and hard because we do not know their languages and how they do things. It would be interesting trying to communicate and carrying out the first meeting with them.GPs were deducted for this post, please read the rules! - reddeath26

All the alien movies and all the futuristic stories I have read have made me believe that there is still some chance that there is life on other planets. Todays scientists and biologists sure are funny, the human body might need a place like earth to live but who said that other forms of intelligent life does? The sun, air and water is needed for OUR planets suvival, is it really unbelievable that something / someone else might survive without it? I don't think we will ever find out, at least not under 100 years to come but it sure would be amazing to see another race contacting us. Our current technology can only take us so far, but the future is just around the corner. My reason for believing is that it's just to unlikely that we are the only ones here, since we don't even know how big the (our kind of the biggest thing ever!) universe is there might just be something that will visit us some day :DReason for edit: added / removed / spelling error.
