Does life exist on other planets?

over time, one of people biggest questions have


been about the existence of life in other planets the life in other planets could is as
movies show aliens, there movies incite more this question, the existence of life on
other planets has been discussed with various positions, below has been show some
arguments in favor and against.
Some proposal in favor suggest Microbial life was commonly found on Earth and
exhibited the capability to survive in extreme conditions, implying that, given the
abundance of essential raw materials for living matter in our universe, life could have
potentially thrived in habitable zones on other planets. The resilience of microbes in
Earth's harshest environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents and high-
altitude mountain ranges, suggests that life might adapt and flourish under diverse
circumstances. (Abbot,2015), It has been demonstrated by researchers that, when
aimed at Earth from a distant star, the James Webb Space Telescope has the
capability to detect the signs of intelligent life within our planet's atmosphere. This
innovative technology offers the potential to passively identify key indicators of
advanced civilizations, opening exciting prospects for the exploration of distant
exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. (Baker, 2023)
Spontaneous generation of life is not observed, and the likelihood of discovering
non-intelligent life is significantly higher. No compelling evidence of advanced
technology has been observed to have been detected by our extensive arrays of
telescopes in space or on the ground. This ongoing endeavor has prompted
scientists to diligently search for signs of life in various celestial bodies, such as
exoplanets and celestial objects in our galaxy. (Brennan,2021). Discovering
extraterrestrial life that lacks intelligence is significantly more probable, as there is
still no compelling proof of advanced technological signals detected by our extensive
array of space-based and ground-based telescopes. Scientists have been diligently
searching for signs of intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations, but as of my last
knowledge update in September 2021, no conclusive evidence has been found. This
ongoing search involves monitoring radio waves, analyzing exoplanetary
atmospheres, and investigating various celestial phenomena for potential signs of
life.(kite,2015)

To conclude, I think that there is life on another planet, but I doubt that it exists
anywhere relatively close, at least if what is sought is intelligent life because I believe
that perhaps in our solar system there are other forms of non-intelligent life. Although
to think that there are forms of intelligent life more advanced than us and that they
have not come to get involved with us would perhaps be to think that the planet does
not seem ''attractive'' enough to them.
