If you think about life, it is really phenominal. How is a cell the smallest form of "life?" What makes something "alive?" How did life first come about from a bunch of molecules, a so-called "primordial soup?" Where did molecules come from? Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so where did matter initially come from? It's amazing how our planet is just the right distance away from the sun, just happens to have the right molecules necessary for life. Heck, look how far life has gotten on this planet. Life now can reside in trillion-celled vehicles that can function for years and years on end. Genes, or replicators, continue to be passed on from generation to generation in different methods. The possibility of life on a planet is rather slim if you really think about it. Yet, in a constantly expanding universe, how can life not be possible?
There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth. Think about the size of the sun. The sun is larger than the volume of 100 earths. The quadrillions of millions of grains of sand on Earth is a lesser number than the number of stars in the universe. Thus, there are probably trillions of sun-like stars in the universe, and where there's sun-like stars (or any stars in general), there are bound to be planets revolving around them. There is no doubt in my mind that there is some planet out there among the millions of galaxies and millions of millions of stars that houses life like Earth. The probability is very likely. How can you not believe that there is some extraterrestrial life out there?
