How likely or unlikely is it that there is life within our very solar system?
See, most of the things that make Earth unique come from space dust (formed in stars which then die and spread over the Universe). Also some of them come from meteors. So if lots of space dust and meteors fell on Earth, just how small is the possibility that this isn't true for other planets like Mars or moons like Io and Europa? And if these chemicals that are the stuff of life are all over our solar system, why is it not more widely accepted life is actually very probable to exist in our solar system? Before you say "but muh gas planets", keep in mind those planets are orbited by hundreds of rocky moons.

It is 100% certain that there is life in our solar system.

Very.
I think there might be even life on Earth.

We haven't even examined 1% of the observable universe, let alone the 'whole' universe.
There is no way you can say with 100% certainty that we're the only living, or intelligent beings in the entire universe.
Considering the amount of Earth-like planets and planets in the Goldilocks zone and the possibility of unusual xenobiology, I think it is highly likely there are other living and intelligent beings in the universe.
Considering the size of it and the complexity of travel within it, it isn't too much of a shocker that we haven't found anyting else yet. Though we might.
Making platitudinal and ignorant statements, showing the arrogance within, is pointless.
We may, or may not find life, that doesn't mean we shouldn't consider the implications and possibilities.
Also, to close, I didn't know /sci/ stocked so many armchair Nostradamuses.
