Once one understands how absurdly vast the universe is, then the question fo whether there are planets around other stars, and inevitably life of some sort on some of those other planets, becomes completely academic.

We estimate roughly 100 billion STARS in the Milky Way alone. Our sun is just one of them. Nobody knows how many galaxies there are, but ten trillion is about the best guess we have.

So 100 billion times ten trillion stars. And whatever innumerable number of planets around those. Unquestionably the odds of life on any given planet are infinitesimally low, but given the number of planets around that ridiculous number of stars....yeah.
