The fact is that the concept of "life" as we currently know it is purely a human construct created with an earthly bias. Everything that we find in space that is "living" will taxonomically be no different than calling a rock a living being.
Sorry guys, but the faster you swallow this blackpill, the faster you can move on.

We made up the concept of life. Therefore it doesn't exist anywhere else outside of earth.

Why would you think that something 50,000 light years away from earth would have 90% the same characteristics of a bacteria? It doesn't make any sense.

It needs enough to similarities to make it be considered living. Otherwise you're just calling something like a rock or a sun living.

and what similarities are you thinking of? what's your definition of "life"?

Life had to exist on Earth before humans could create a human conception of it. Therefore, It's objective, not subjective.

Sure, it would be taxonomically independent of terrestrial life. But if it’s a blob of organic matter that reproduces and has a metabolism then it’s a little different to a rock

OP is right, poetically, it brings us intellect. Of course the lion-man is not necessarily alien to us, but I think OP confuses the matter at hand where we are sometimes divided based on our species.

The universe is large enough to the point it's probable that somewhere other than Earth there exists what we would recognize as life. Will we ever find it? Probably not.

Because you're both retarded. This is equivalent to claiming that just because the Earth is round doesn't mean other planets will be. Maybe they'll be square, or rhombus.
There are rules and limits to the universe. 2+2 always = 4. Biological life is not some Earth-specific phenomenon, it's something arises under certain universal conditions. Same as everything else in the universe.
Biological life is not a social construct lol

2+2 = 4
How so?
Why must it always equal four? Maybe it equals 4.5, 2 apples can be large and small.

How does it "always" equal 2?

Ywe didn't invent the concept of life, we invented a name for a concept that we observe actually existing.

Are you allowed to make logical observations based on sense alone? Such as 'there's probably other species in the universe'.

Life isn't a real thing. Like consciousness, it is an illusion of consciousness.

We know there’s nothing like us anywhere in our neighborhood - or else we would have heard their signals. That’s NOT to say that there isn’t complex life around, just that there’s nothing which has reached our level. It’s estimated to be hundreds of millions of planets which could support Earth-like life., but bear in mind that cosmologists basically just make up shit and even if there was, the chances of the same evolutionary accident string which lead to life on Earth could be replicated elsewhere is so infinitesimally low that we’re probably alone. Humanity could represent that one in an absurdly low chance of such a thing happening. If the universe is literally infinite that it must happen someone else, but: 1. It’s not infinite and 2. Even if it is, it may not have occurred yet (ie, infinitely expanding).

You don't know the size of the universe or if it's infinite.
The larger the universe gets, the higher the probability that there is something else out there which we would be able to recognize as a form of life, even if it's too far away for us to ever discover it.

Sorry, humans aren't exceptional. They just aren't.
What you think of as life and sentience and the things that make you "you", they're just complexity.
It exists everywhere, sorry.
