If you're mormon, you believe in life on other planets, and that you'll get to be a god there some day. But I digress.
That's a tricky question. The scientist in me says, 'yes and no'. If life is so accidental, think about the astronimical odds against it. You need the right orbit, the right planet composition, liquid water, etc. Of course, if this is star trek land, we'd have silicon based beings, but come on, let's get a grip here. So, yeah, life out there is possible. Who is to say that God hasn't manifested himself on other planets. We NEEDED Jesus because we're so full of sin. Who's to say that there isn't another planet out there where everyone's perfect. I'm not in a position to know!
