Do you think there is a life in the universe other than on the Earth?

Given the enormous size of the universe, don't you think there must be a planet out there where there is some form of life?

I think it's almost certain. I'll go beyond that and say that I think it's almost certain that there's life elsewhere in the universe that's intelligent and technologically advanced.

Most likely we'll never get confirmation of their existence, though, since the enormous distance from us translates to enormous amounts of time for them to contact us. We'd have to wait a long, long time. Unless, that is, there's some as-yet undiscovered way around the light speed barrier.

Well, even though the universe is so large, which lends to the idea that life must exist somewhere, there is another consideration. That is the hugeness if the 4th dimension....TIME. It may be so that life exists somewhere else in the universe. But what are the chances that it exists in the same period of time that we do here on Earth, give or take a few zillion decades.

Well, there are other galaxies, and it has been suggested in some of the literature I have read that people reincarnate here from other places. So my immediate response is yes, but of course there is no concrete proof.
