Well, I can't speak for the Christians, but unless we can either travel to those planets and see for ourselves or create life in a lab of our own (and thus knowing what it takes to make life,) we can't say that there is or isn't. It's the whole proof of the universal negatives and the fact that we haven't seen any life out there that prevents anybody from saying either way.

That's true, but when you see evidence of billions of planets in one galaxy and you know there are about 100 billion galaxies, the probability of no life anywhere starts to look pretty small.



I think that the Christians that think that there would be no life on other planets think that as it didn't say that God put it there explicitly in the Bible as it said that he put life on Earth.

A lot of things are true and not printed in the Bible. I think those Christians need to realize that!
