It's an insult to every living being in the universe to think we are the only intelligent life.
Where's your proof that there is any intelligent life that did not originate on Earth?
Oh yeah, you have none. 
Proof is everywhere, but it's not my job to awaken anyone
Ah, someone that doesn't know what the word proof means.
I can see there is no reasoning with someone like you.
This is a topic you could never win with me as I came to this thread for fun only. Anyone who chooses to remain asleep in this vast universe of ours deserves to do so.
Y'know, it's possible to express your opinion without coming off as a condescending jerk.
I didn't do it, some others in this thread didn't do it, but it is possible.
I can't complain as I'm just as bad as some others around here, but it doesn't make for a good image.
Well ya know, neither one of you can prove it one way or the other. One side always waiting for the other to provide evidence that their way of thinking is right. It’s nonsense to argue it. It makes both sides looks foolish and immature. Name calling and causing hard feelings. You should be ashamed.
This joint is looking more and more like social media everyday. Keyboard ninjas and all.
Yep, you're right about that.
It cannot be proven either way.
And a number of us have attitude problems because we're so sure that our side is right.
No, attitude problems have nothing to do with right and wrong. A attitude is a choice, not a “because”.
I believe there is , that’s my opinion !
It’s Easter to believe there is life out there somewhere then believe the earth is flat !
I think that it would be a good idea.
I think flat-earthers are pretty funny.
It's hard to take them seriously, but the whole concept for some reason brings a smile to my face.
“They” are already here, I see them everyday.
We live on a biscuit in a bubble. I reckon there is other biscuits with their own bubbles out there.
Yes, there has to be, based on what we already know about the universe outside of our own solar system. The numbers of exoplanets (planets that orbit around a star like our own sun) we are aware of are growing every day. Many of these exoplanets are located relative to their own stars in a way that would be likely to reproduce conditions suitable for life to develop. The sheer numbers of galaxies that are likely to contain more exoplanets suggests there is almost certainly life outside our own solar system.
We are also discovering that our ideas about the environmental requirements for life to develop and be sustained are expanding, as well. For example, you can do a web search for “ice worms” and also bacteria that are anaerobic (do not require oxygen to survive). There might be life out there that is not carbon-based, and not made up of the types of molecular structures we associate with animals, including humans.
As for discovering whether the life forms outside our own solar system are intelligent, we have yet to accumulate the information necessary to answer this question. Intelligence would be another concept that needs a fairly wide definition. And our own experiences with natural phenomena tell us that it is unlikely that the conditions necessary for intelligent life to develop only occur on our particular planet. If such conditions only occurred on earth, that would be a rather peculiar coincidence, given the number of solar systems, galaxies, etc., in the universe we know already.
The problem with confirming “intelligent life” out there is that it would take a very long time for radio waves (which travel at the speed of light) from other exoplanets to arrive on earth. They would also need to know we are here and aim the radio waves at us. Even if intelligent beings discovered our presence here on earth, expecting such beings to be able to travel physically to our own planet is an even more unlikely proposition, given the technological problems and the physical challenges involved for any life form undertaking such a journey. It is probably better for us that is the case, because any life form capable of such technology and of enduring such a long journey would be so much further advanced than our species that the encounter would not likely end well for us.
I dont think believe is the right word. But I do think there are many planets where the conditions are good for life to develop. Looking how old the universe is and how long it took on earth before there was life there must be many way older planets that have life on them. I dont think there are many scifi planets with super smart life that can travel through space etc.
At it's most basic, Pantheism maintains that nothing exists except God, a living universe, as it were.
Life (as we know it) has been discovered on Earth in environments that until not long ago would have been thought impossible to support life, aka Extremeophiles.
Very recently, a cnidarian parasite of salmon (Myxozoa: Henneguya) was discovered that have lost genes related to aerobic respiration. In other words, does not need oxygen to survive.
Nature abhors a vacuum. I believe life is ubiquitous in the universe.

We have anaerobic bacteria inside our own gastrointestinal systems.
"Do you think there is intelligent life on that planet?"
"No!"
"Maybe humans?"
"Could be ..."
I would have thought it almost certain (no green men though lol) - we have no real idea how far we can see, or how far ‘it’ goes on - it would be naive to think nothing else existed out there, it certainly wouldn’t be logical.
That said, it could be that we are the only planet with life - I’d be very surprised though.
Another way of looking at it is - WAS/WILL there life out there in the depths of space, more so are we related to it.
