I think it is likely there's life just in our solar system (or has been - perhaps not currently extant). I think it's highly likely there is/has been life elsewhere in the universe.This questions is mostly directed at atheists / agnostics. Do you believe that there is life anywhere in the universe other than on earth?
If so, why?
If not, why not?
I think it's very likely based on probability that there are billions of stars that can support a planet like earth. There is nothing special about earth, so a similar situation can't be ruled out.This questions is mostly directed at atheists / agnostics.

Thanks for your input.I think it is likely there's life just in our solar system (or has been - perhaps not currently extant). I think it's highly likely there is/has been life elsewhere in the universe.
Now, whether that life is currently still extant, exists in a form our current science can recognize, or exists in a sapient form, that's much more up for question/speculation
I agree with you.I think it's very likely based on probability that there are billions of stars that can support a planet like earth. There is nothing special about earth, so a similar situation can't be ruled out.
Against the above, life arising could require a very specific chain of events that has a greater probability (of not arising) than the situation described above.
