Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

For sentient life, we are all there is.

So we need to remember to tread softly on the earth, and with other people's hearts.
 
Well, if you believe in God, a twist in the gospel could be Jesus was an 'extraterrestrial' who also made the world and came back to rescue his people.
 
there is a greater probability that advanced sentient life exists other than earth > we are the only advanced sentient beings in the universe.
 
absolutely yes. I have not been thinking much about it, but it's arrogant to believe we're the only conscious beings. our science is limited by our consciousness, and the fact that we haven't yet discovered something means only as much as that we haven't developed yet as much to detect conscious beings elsewhere.
 
Good! once you accept the likelihood of advanced life forms elsewhere, then the next question we can pose is how long have they been around and how evolved are they? Even if they are only several centuries more advanced, they could have discovered about worm holes and new dimensions. Given how old the universe is there's easily potential for life forms to be millions of years ahead of humans in terms of evolution. Putting limits on what these beings can/and can't do seems a bit silly really.
 
Just a quote from Carl Sagan (from “Contact”, which I watched again on TV last week.) “The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” ;)
 
Yeah, I absolutely believe there is life out there in the universe.

It's far too vast for Earth to be the only planet to have life. There's estimated to be hundreds of billions of galaxies (maybe even over 1 trillion) in the observable universe, each with hundreds of billions (possibly more) of stars within them, and who knows how many of those stars have planets around them? There's probably billions of planets out there in the cosmos with life on them - ranging from simple single-celled organisms to complex and intelligent life.
