What about undiscoverable life?

Dark Science finds Dark Life. Maybe Dark Matter is a life form.

“Scienrists” also vouch for global warming. No credibility any more.

When I opened the link, there was a huge headline and a picture of Obama. Is Obama one of those unclassifiable forms of life?

It is actually fairly hard to define what constitutes life. My preferred definition: Any system that ingests lower entropy energy and expels higher entropy energy, thereby persisting.
Think of a goldfish in a fishbowl vs. an ice cube: The goldfish eats food (i.e., low entropy energy), uses the lower entropy to maintain its form for a while (i.e., not dissolve), and expels higher entropy energy (i.e., feces). (Matter embodies energy in this example.) On the other hand, an ice cube just melts.
By that definition, there could be a LOT of lifeforms that we would not recognize unless we measured the change in the lifeform’s environment. To wit, the entropy of the environment should increase more than otherwise expected if no lifeform was present.
PS This is about “life,” not “intelligent life,” a whole other topic.
PPS By this definition, some crystals are “alive.” But they’re not really alive, so the definition is not perfect...

Titan , a smog shrouded moon of Saturn may have life. acetylene produced by ultraviolet reactions in the upper atmosphere is disappearing on the surface. It's too cold for that to happen normally. Something unusual is happening and it
may be life.

They could try to discover life forms that
these souls have (videos).
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (Acts 17:27)

In other words, there may be life out there that doesn't even use the four DNA and RNA bases that we're used to... CNA, for example.
