Of course there is.

It is quite arrogant of humans to assume that we are the only so-called
intelligent form of life in the Universe. Understand that it is quite unfair
to assume that no others exist simply because we are unable to confirm
their presence...

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Heh. People are so willing to believe that there are other life forms out there, with no evidence at all (based on this extremely scientific poll ). And yet some of the very same people completely reject the idea of God. It makes you think...

A creational entity isn't as far fetched as some would have you believe.
I take you back to the final sentence of my previous post...

If the documentary series Lost in Space is anything to go by, quite a few
of the other palnets are already known to be populated...apparently.

i wouldnt say yes, when they went to the moon and took some rock samples, they found little small small un seeable worms

the "rabid creationists" are the ones who take the story of Genesis word for word (Earth is only planet with life, universe created in 7 EARTH DAYS, etc.)

I don't argue that there isn't some higher being that set the universe into motion (like what caused the Big Bang), but I dismiss the 7 days thing.

im not really sure because is there really another planet with odds like earths? the only reason theres civilization on earth is because we are in the perfect position from the sun and the other planets in our solar system. even if there is we wont be around long enough to find out.

Yes, that is exactly my point.

theres almost an infinite amount of other galaxies in space, and each one of them has a few billion stars, so its almost certain that there is some life somewhere else. i think our solar system was made from the left-overs of a supernova a few billion years ago, so our solar system is new compared to some, so life somewhere else might be millions or billions of years ahead of us. but theres not much chance of us ever seeing them or even proving they exist, the nearest solar system is a few thousand light years away (or maybe million, i cant remember anything i learned in physics anymore)
the first crop-circles were fakes anyway. they were made by a pair of students ir farmers in the middle of the night. it was on a program here a few months ago

I'm not religious in the least, but I do know the bible. I remember a line in the bible where it was speaking of god's time. It stated that a day to god was as if 1000 years to man. Now in the creation scene, it never says whether those days he used to create earth and heavens, were his days, or earth days. So the story could very well explain itself in some manner. I saw a discovery channel special about the big bang theory. It stated that the time from the bang to the solidifying of earth would have been a little over 6 thousand years (Taking into account the expansion time of the planet to its current position, and the slow of rotation). and primitive life would have sprang up within one thousand more. So if you think about it, maybe both theories are right.

Of course I am more like you and lean towards the scientific aproach as more believable.

A planet doesn;t have to be ectaxly like ours to harbour life. Lifeforms can breathe nitrogen ot some other form of gas other than oxygen. they could drink pure hydrogen and live in extremly cold climates. Organiss adapt to their surroundings. life can survive at th very depths of the sea where there is no light no warmth no oxygen, and your telling me this can't happen elsewhere?

Other life does not have to be like us. Other life can be very different and still be intelligent. They could have no means of mobility on their planet, but peraps they don't need it. Perhaps all they need is to beable to commintuncarte telepathically and survive off the resources in which they sit upon. No one knows, but to say that a planet has to be a certain place is proposterous. There is water on Mars, there are gasses on numerous other planets. Prove to me that life once didn't exist there. Prove to me that lifeforms can not life off gasses etc. Prove it.
