Aliens? Exist or Not?

[Dog--]

There may used to have been life of Mars, if they find skeletons of micro-organisms, then thats 2 planets in 1 solar system, so think of the solar systems with like 30 planets... high probability of life.

I'm hoping for some evidence on Europa as well, or one of the other Jovian moons. Wait. Are we talking intelligent, or just any kind of life? Because I believe we will probably find some kind of bacterial life, probably in our own solar system, but intelligent is probably as rare as... well, pretty freaking rare.

 

[Direwolf]

Yeah, but its probably rare compared to nonintelligent life. And the more life in general you have, the more intelligent life you probably have.

Since life changes according to its situation (over a large timespan, of course) then i guess technically life could pop up anywhere.

I remember seeing that at the Science Fiction museum in Seattle.

That is a joke, right?

Um, no

Drakes Equation is fundamentally flawed and should only be used to estimate the amount of intelligent life out there

Well if the universe is really as big as scientists say it is than I believe there has to be some other form of "intelligent" life out there.
