Yeah, I believe there's life out there. Do I believe it'll be recognizable as life as we know it? Most likely, no. The thing about alien things is they're exactly that - alien. And beyond the realms of human imagination and experience. The idea that there's two armed, two legged, one headed, two eyed intelligent life out there on other planets? Seems unlikely to me. If we ever make contact, we better be prepared. At the moment, I don't think we are. We're too firmly stuck in the mindset that an alien is going to be just like us, with a funny colored skin or pasty on their forehead.
