    The equation is popularly known as the Drake Equation. Here it is explained.

    Personally, I think it would be extremely presumptuous and arrogant of the human race to believe we are alone in the universe.

    The odds against us being the only life in the universe is too "astronomical".
    Yes, I believe in others out there. They may not look like us, but they ARE there.

    Too broad definition. Sure I believe there is "life" out there but who knows in what forms? Could be anything like a drop of water or whatever, not necessarily human like. We're not the centre of the universe that's for sure.

    Life? Absolutely. Intelligent life? I'm still not convinced there's any on earth.

    we have all kinds of life, here on planet earth, and quite a few can live quite happily in extreme conditions - but these would be extreme to us,

    with the age and size of the universe there must be something somewhere other than on our own planet,

    i agree with joey off the street

    i think you would find life in various stages of evolution - if we had the time and means to explore
