personally i think its a definate yes but then again that depends how common life is overall.

Stupid question! Clearly life COULD exist elsewhere. After all, it exists here. Also, equally clearly, we don't know for sure if it does, or doesn't.

First of all, this does not belong in the Space category, so I will move this thread to the Evolution category.

 

Second, this is already being discussed in this thread:

As such, and with Tormod's very busy schedule right now, I am going to lock this thread down. Please use the url above for any interest in this discussion.

 

Thanks to all participants. We look forward to your posts on the other thread!
