The conditions required for carbon based life forms to exist are very small, too many variables. The probability of it existing elsewhere in the universe, (taking into consideration how much matter there will ever be in the universe) is nexto 0.
But there is hope! Life doesnt always need Earthly like conditions to survive AND the fact it ever happend on Earth goes against all probability.

You're kidding right? It can exist in two areas in our own solar system. Besides, who's to say all life must be carbon based just because that is our only sample?

Edited by moist nana: 3/9/2017 3:28:17 PMThere are alot more factors than water, it needs to have the right atmosphere, the right solar protection, the right chemical compounds ONTOP of that it needs to have the right distance and rotation. There is a planet that is can replacte Earths conditions but it doesn't rotate :( Like i said, life doesn't always need Earthly like conditions to develop but what it DOES require is conditions for sophisticated geonomes to develop. THAT hasn't happened anywhere else but Earth Interesting topic realy.
