I think we will find a Earth like planet in 20 - 30 years. Any takers?

Are you kidding?
Haven't you heard of PN3217? If we get the right coordinates we can visit them all.
Just ask Colonel Hammond.

I agree. How about life in the Sol system (other than earth)? I say we will find it. I don't know about 20-30 years, though.

Define "Earth-like." Are Venus and Mars "Earth-like?" Or will an Earth-like planet have oceans of water?

Second, the methods used to determine that a planet is "earth like" will likely disappoint you and make you question whether we've found what someone says we've found. If you think we're using powerful telescopes and actually looking at the alleged planets, guess again.

Ok....Let's say we find it. Then what? How much do we spend on a new 'vacation paradise'? I say...they haven't bothered us, why bother them? Don't we have enough to handle here?

Do you mean a planet with intelligent life? Human life? Be more specific, please, then I might take your bet.

When you say 'earth-like', do you mean planet filled with idiots like this one?

The question remains - will we find intelligent life on Earth?

I think it will be within 10 years! And, I believe there will be proof of the existence of extra-solar life within 15.

we will find a Earth like planet in 20 - 30 years. Kidding, right? You can't even find a great apartment in 20-30 years.
Here's what will happen: we will find a planet close enough so that we can transform it to a base condition we like. This transformation will take a really long time, a million years just to pick a number. But we will find a close enough planet in 20-30 years, it just won't be what Joe Sixpack would call earthlike.
