i think presence of other forms of life should be dealt with at this time as ( cos of absence of enough evidence ) as a matter of possibilities , till proved otherwise .
if we consider the nucleic acids synthesis as the defining and universal criteria of life , and that the atmospheric and geological conditions of the earth billions of years ago had been what made the first nucleic acid - protein synthesis cycle(S) possible , then the possibility of occurrence of the same or similar conditions in another part of universe that physicists believe , is very small .. but possibilities are meant to help us ( to guess ) not to create the facts of the universe .
its more convenient to talk about intelligent existence , cos the word LIFE gives the impression of something that must be related to our own elements in the earth , carbon , H , O and N ... if we are talking about this large universe and disscusing all these tiny possibilities we have to consider an intelligent forms that may not be of carbon origin or may not reproduce !
personally i don't think there is another ( life ) but not dogmatic in my belief !
and its very bad that the scientific institutions that could provide information to help us in forming ideas about our universe are under such strong political influence
