Well, David Bowie said so, so I'll go with the Bowie.

I watched a program the other day about how those who claimed to have seen an angel in the Bible might really have been seeing an alien, and because there's no mention of them having wings in the Bible it's possible that people were basing those depictions of angels on what might have been an alien they saw. It also said that when God ordered Abraham to kill his kid it might have been an alien impersonating God.

Now that kind of stuff is almost certainly bullsh*t but I'd say it probably is true that there is other life, and it is possible that they might have visited earth (though I find it unlikely)

If life does exist beyond earth, how abundant is it?

Are there advanced civilizations thriving on other planets? How many?

Could there be other human beings living on other planets somewhere, who are unaware of our existence and awaiting discovery?

Have we been visited by advanced alien civilizations?

Were the ancient gods in prehistory alien civilizations?

How large is the universe? Is it truly infinite?

Are human beings ready to face whatever is out there?

If alien civilization openly visited us, how would you react?

If given the chance, would you go with them to explore the universe?

Yes in far away Universe that we can not reach is a planet the same as Earth
with Humans,

But we are so far far away
we can never meet them.

I don't recall. The only thing I've seen you express very often is your obsession with rubbing your little purple alien.

Blackpool illuminations?

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

of course there is life beyond earth

but good luck finding it. We probably never ever will. Not sure we should even be wasting billions looking for it.
