Student Answer: 
I don't think you really can say that they do or they don't exist it is just kinda all about peoples beliefs the way they see it as. Personally i think they do because because we are just one tiny planet in one tiny solar system. There is a lot of possibility for more life forms out there we have not even seen how far space goes and we never will. I think it is very hard to be closed minded about the matter because there is so much unknown i think there keeping an open mind is the best thing to do.
