One in a billion in universe terms is pretty small. I'd be pretty surprised if no other life exists in the entire universe. Yes the odds and scenerio needed for life to form are insanely slim but then then universe is so massive it becomes highly probable.

Balling - But you're basing it on our current minute understanding of physics; because we don't know or can't do it, doesn't mean it's not possible.

I often apply this thinking to when anyone discusses finding a plant likely to sustain life, they automatically assume life needs oxygen, sun and water. This is obviously if you wished to replicate our life system. Who's to say life has to form to these rules? I.e there could be aliens that do not have a human form in any way (bugs anyone?) and breath other gases, if they even breathe at all. It simply is what we understand not what is possible.
Always makes me think that.

Again, never said impossible.
Also, basing a theory on anything but what we know is a bit abstract.

i'm so glad someone else understands this point of view.
i hate it when people say that living things need the same stuff we need.
they might breathe in methane and live in sulphuric acid.

Look at Ben, waiting for some clever replies then latching on pretending he thought the same.
