I think there is, the Universe is unimaginably large, chances are that there is another planet or moon where the right conditions exist for life to start. This life might not be anything like life on Earth, I don’t know if we’d even recognise it as life if we saw it, and I’m not sure whether I think other complex lifeforms that are self aware and can think abstract thought like humans exist. I definitely think that there could easily be very basic lifeforms, at least like single cells, somewhere out there!

Yes, i think there must be – if the universe really is infinte and never ending, with millions and millions of planets, then surely the right conditions exist on one of those planets as well! Who knows what they would be – perhaps some sort of microbes, maybe aliens like you see on the TV, maybe something in between like fish! It’s exciting to think about it!

We can’t really know until we go out there and search for it! Or maybe they do it first.
We haven’t even managed to explore our own solar system yet, nevermind the other solar systems in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and let’s not even mention the other billions of galaxies that exist out there.
The earth is really a needle in a haystack in the universe. Maybe we got extremely lucky and the necessary conditions for life to occur just happened on Earth. Or maybe not.

I think if the universe is that big there could be life there. Maybe bacteria, thats still a life. My teacher thinks there is a planet where we are all cloned. I would want to meet my clone!
Thanks for the excellent answers!
