Granted, there is a lot of things that are needed for life. Mr. Puker is probably thinking of intelligent life...and not microorganisms.

The meteor that was spoken of doesn't have confirmed life on it, as Roger said earlier, they can only speculate that the organisms were some kind of weird rock formation...at first thought to be fossils, but they just can't be sure.

When you do think about the vastness of space, and the many galaxies that inhabit our universe, which in turn contain many stars in themselves..you must realize that the probability of there not being any other life out there is probably nil, there's got to be some form of life somewhere outside of our reach.

In 2004 a probe will be catching up to a comet and will retrieve dust samples from it, and will return to earth if all goes well. Scientists hope to find some of the elements needed for life as we know it: Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen (NCHO). That's not to say that other forms of life can exist from different
elements, elements we don't even know about perhaps.

It's possible that life can be found in our own solar system, scientists hope to find water on Mars, perhaps something lives beneath the surface.

Or the better alternative...Europa. One of Jupiter's moons. At first glance, it just looks like a massive ice ball with many cracks revolving around Jupiter. Scientists believe that many miles below the surface that there's actually a mighty ocean, it's kept liquid by the moon's core. There's no telling what might be in the ocean, the thought of living creatures is certainly one of them. On the drawing board is a probe that will drill down to the ocean..and collect samples.

What do you think?

Becuase of the many other stars and galaxies out there, if Fudle Puker is right, and there is no life, and we're all alone...there has to be a God, and he's got one big-ass sense of humor.

um... Earth has been hit by 2 meteors in the past 100 years.. by my calculation thats more then once every 2 million

Annux, I would like to join this wonderful think tank.

Also, what kind of a contraction is "to've"?

if you meant asteroids, then i'm with you...earth gets hit by a lot of meteorites every year...thousands

Just bacause humans and other life on earth needs the atmosphere, the suns heat, and all those other things that you pointed out that I don't feel like listing, doesn't mean all other life in the universe needs the same. Maybe there's life out there that lives on a planet 100 times bigger than their sun. Maybe it's -784329 degrees there? Just because we think life needs these things doesn't make it true.

ok let me clear this up for ya, i never said life NEEDS all those things i listed. I said "right checmicals" and the things in the parenthesis were just examples, notice: i said maybe. "3) right chemicals (water maybe, or sumtin else, all life doesnt have to base on water; the bases of aminoacids)" geez pay more attention to what you read.

Anyway, there can't be a colder temperature than ~-260 (i'm not sure of the exact number, but i was two hundred something) Celcius. But it can be infinitely hotter!

And i highly doubt they'll find anything on mars.

And yes, i was speaking more about intellegent life when i started this topic. But the more i think about it, the more i realize - it doesnt matter.

Anyway, if there EVEN is life somewhere out there in the deeep deeep fucking deeep depths of the universe, the odds of that are ~1:<insert the # of stars in our galaxy minus 1(which is us)>
