Well the thing is that we have no proof either way.. To definally believe there is or isn't life out there is just native. Of course there is a possibilty and there seems to be a lot of rocks out there too.

Well...

We have so far discovered 9 in our solar system, and 185 orbiting other stars (as of April. 2006).
But the real number is astronomically huge. There are about 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone. If each of them have the same number of planets (on average) as our own sun, then that's about 4 trillion planets in our own galaxy alone. Multiply that by an estimated 125 billion galaxies in the universe ... thats alot of planets.

Ok, 500 trillion planets, allbeit thats just a guesstimate, but do you know the chances of there not being any other life forms of any kind, that are alive on another planet at this moment? I don't, since i don't know how to calculate something like that, but I bet its close to 500 trillion to 1. I mean cmon, aside from the whole religion thing, the earth was created the same way as every other planet out there. How could there not be one single life form on any one of those planets?
Edit: Ok my math was wrong, the number is much much huger.... but you get what I mean
