Hi Keith. It is certainly possible, although we can't prove it yet. Astronomers are discovering more and more stars with planets around them. We have yet to discover life on another planet, though, evan one in our own solar system. People are working on ways that they might detect life or at least conditions that might be good for life on planets around other stars. Some information about the search for "extra-solar" planets is here:

Keith,

I personally do think that there is a good chance life exists somewhere else in the Universe. The pure vastness of the Universe and the unthinkable number of stars and their planetary systmes that exist increase the probability that other stars support some sort of life. However, I do question whether there is advanced life out there (as opposed to bacteria and other simple life forms) such as ourselves. It's fun to think about!
