Life as in snot might exist but life as in anything intelligent I don't think so, we are the product of numerous flukes and genetic mishaps and catastrophic life ending events, it's only by chance we have lasted this long.The life killer of the universe is asteroids and collisions, any planet we look at is pitted with life exterminating impact craters and you have to go from LUCA (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_u...ommon_ancestor ) to flying out into space to stop an extinction level event before it happens, and we're not quiet there but will be soon, but then heeds another problem we're more likely to kill out ourselves than any natural event.
There's just way to many variables involved and each one of them was like a billion to one to happen in the first place and they need to happen in order.
On a side note my son and his friends taught me a new drinking game, watch Brian Cox and every time he says.. "Billions" you drink.
