I've met aliens from Mexico, Pakistan, Portugal and Sri Lanka.
All kidding aside, there is life "out there," so to speak, but likely not in the form that we tend to anthropomorphize it. Is it as developed and advanced as our race? Probably not, but it is still life.
For humanity to develop as it has, with apologies to creationists, the odds are astronomical. For the exact combination of enzymes in the exact conditions at the exact time for things to turn out they way they have? It's so rare that it is obscene - further proof to me that there is a higher power at work, whether it be nature or divinity.
