I think the chances of life out there are more possible than not.

How can you possibly make such an assertion? We know 1) life on earth exists. 2) there are billions of planets in the universe.

I fail to see how you can make any assertions about probability based on those two facts. Fill me in.

Take a look at the Drake equation. Base on the laws of probability alone, gives us a way of predicting if life is out there.

I didn't say this was a fact or that I have scientific analytical evidence to back it up, I just offered my opinion, that I think the chances of life out there are more possible than not. That is just what I believe, and I base this belief on the fact that the universe is so vast. It would seem to me that it would be stranger if no other life existed outside Earth.
