I don't believe that there is INTELLIGENT life beyond the moon (and I say moon because that is the furthest distance from the earth that man has yet traveled). As far as life, in itself, yes, I believe there is always a chance that you can find some bacteria, but as far as how much life, I'd rather say the chances are slim.
Do aliens exist, as it is often asked? I won't deny the fact if I met one, but it is my stance that they do not. Nevertheless, I'm just as much of a Star Trek / Stargate / Star Wars fan as the next sci-fi admirer. But that's why it's still called Science FICTION and not Science FOR REAL.
However, you will not except this fact merely on what I have just said. You want facts and answers. Naturally, I'm not an omnipotent or can even begin to understand the basics of the universe. However, I can say that the likelihood is very insignificant.
Had the earth been in a different orbit than the one it is in, even just by the slightest degree, life on earth could not exist. The sun would either be too hot or too cold. Take our nearest planets, such as Mars. As close as Mars is, the world is too cold for life to exist. Ok, if we all had blue blood and green skin, maybe, but fewer people believe in martians these days. Had we been to Venus, it would have been unbearably hot.
The thing is, the earth is at just the right distance. Using the sun as another factor, we can see that it is unique too. The sun is a very, very small star. All scientists will agree with that. Watch any video demonstration of this, and you will see stars that easily engulf even the earth in its diameter (some span the entire width of our solar system).
Not only is the size of our sun significant, but so is the type of star. There are two primary stars out there, red and blues. Red stars, such as that of our own, is red, but not all are. Blue stars exist within the universe, but there is one flaw to them: they're too bright. Unlike red stars, blue stars are so bright, they are blinding, so if indeed life does exist elsewhere, they're literally blind to the fact that there's a universe bigger than they could ever imagine.
These are only a few of the many factors involved in the wondrous universe. Evolutionists will tell you that stars have been around millions and billions of years, but find out the maximum length that (blue) stars can survive since infancy and you will find that it is impossible for them to have survived this long.
Two atoms just happened to collide? 2 million DNA strands just happened to form over night to create basic life on a planet that just happens to be exactly in the right spot in the solar system and not close enough to a black hole? And that life just happened to turn into a SINGLE race of apes that could develop beyond their daily existence (and no trace of any current transformations)? Too chancy for me.
Perhaps a God does indeed exist? Perhaps He did create the universe, every star, every planet, every living creature, and placed them on this earth to grow and multiply? You say God doesn't exist because you do not see him? In an analogy, do computers accept that you created it? Not really: they simply corrupt your data and tell you that you are denied access. You may have created the file, but the computer isn't smart enough to know that...are we any different?
Psalm 147:
4He counts the number of the stars;
He gives names to all of them.
5Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His understanding is infinite.
