Alien life is mentioned in the Bible.
Ezzeikel Chapter 1 is the best example.
Athiests suggest that the universe exists as a fluke. If we are alone then there is every possibility we are here by chance.
If we have a universe full of Alien life, that suggets that the universe is intelligenty designed.

The chance of us being alone in the universe is 1 billion trillion.
There are hundreds of billions of stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the universe.
A lot of these stars have planetry systems. Life is out there but in our corner of the galaxy we maybe alone.

Life finds a way to adapt. So I don't subcribe to the theory that you need certain conditions for life to survive.
There are creatures on earth that can survive in conditions that science would concider impossible.
Recently there has also been primitive life discovered on earth that does not need oxygen to survive.
Of course you cannot be certain that other life exists out there in the universe. The odds are increasing all the time as we learn about the mystery of the universe.
There is enough knowlegde available to make a resonable guess that we are unlikely to be alone, and possibly we could have a universe teeming with life.
It's only a matter of time before we find simple forms of life like bacteria.
Intelligent life though is another matter. We may be alone in our own galaxy as any intelligent not many light years from ours would know we are here! This planet is so noisy.
Intelligent life just seems to far away.

Hi, bluejay.
We are finding possible earth like planets in other galaxies all the time now.
This suggests that simlilar Earth like planets may be quite common.
Also possibly when our solar system came into existence, Both Earth and Mars were somehow very similar. Where as Earth has flourished with life, water somehow has dissapered on Mars leaving it a dead barren world.
