it won't change anything though since whatever life out there exists, it's too far away for todays technology to get in touch
it would be nice to know though - and a blow to the creationists who blab about god burying dinosaur bones

There probably is life, but since several things that were key to our self knowledge only developed once (no cell without a genetic code, no bacterium derived from a eukaryote can be found today, sex) meaning our type of life is just lucky and we have a very unique planet. Think about it, mating developed BEFORE multicell organisms!
