Its life Jim but not as we know it.

A recent article on how many possible life forming planets could be out there...

news.bbc.co.uk...

Notice is says -

New evidence suggests more than half the Sun-like stars in the Milky Way could have similar planetary systems.

Wow thats a lot, the chance of life NOT being out there seems impossible now, and its only a matter of time before they come forward with evidence of simple life forms, surely. And that would be the BIG test I guess, on religion etc. Once they've done that maybe they can let us in on the rest.... lol.
