Is earth the only location to have life?

Question

Is earth the only location to have life?

Answer 1

YES IT IS THE ONLY SHOW IN TOWN!

Answer 2

Its the only world that we know of (so far) to have life on it.

But logical thinkers (including scientists) realize that life is not only possible on other worlds but highly probable.

Answer 3

So far we don't know of any life forms in other planets as they are on the earth. But bacteria fossils and water have been discovered on Mars. Also, in other planetary systems, planets have been observed that are very similar to earth and might have the potential of developing life. Furthermore, some cells have DNAs that can repair themselves under most conditions and therefore they can survive in the outer space under most circumstances. These DNAs have been observed in the space near Earth (most probably contamination from earth. In fact 200 Kg of material are transferred back and forth between earth and Mars, which certainly contain biological matter in them.)

All of these discoveries and the unimaginable vastness of the universe lead us to thinking that there should be life elsewhere in the universe.

Answer 4

probably not. the universe is a pretty big place.

Answer 5

It is the only known location to currently have life, doesn't mean that it's the only place in the universe where life exists. We just haven't discovered it yet.

Answer 6

To our knowledge.  But our knowledge is severely limited.  The laws of chemistry aren't likely to be different elsewhere in the universe.

Answer 7

advanced life on earth is an accident. due to extremely good timing and luck of anything happening to the earth, multicellular organisms were created

the probabiltity for these events to repeat itself is very low or even nonexistant

Answer 8

So far...........

Answer 9

I really really doubt it.  As in the movie Contact, if the earth was the only place in Universe to have life then the rest of the Universe is a big waste.

Answer 10

Probably not.  It is the only place that we knows has life, but the odds are very high that there are other places out there with life.

Answer 11

Not at all. Life can thrive in the most harshes of elements. Mars did once have life and europa could have an ocean under its ice. Just finding microbial life proves that Earth isnt the only one.

Answer 12

Mars> I dreamed of owning a house over there before!
