Life on other planets

The planet Earth is the third planet from the sun. Earth has the perfect position for being a planet with life on it. If it had been closer to the sun, it would be to hot for life. If it had been further away from the sun, it would have been to could for life.
This shows that it is fine line between life, and not life. It shows that it requires small details to create life.
With these facts, it is hard to imagine that it can be life on other planets. Imagine the chances there is for two planets to have exactly the conditions required, when the chances of one planet having it, is so small.
The only thing that establish the theory of life in space, is that space is so unbelievable huge. Scientists believe that there are 93 billions light-years from one side of the universe to the other. The odds of life on an other planet grow quite a bit, when you see how large it is.
So maybe some place out there, there are creatures thinking about however there is life somewhere else.
To be honest I don’t care much if we are alone or not, if they just live us alone. I think we rather should be using money and recourses in fighting poorness, and the climate changes, than using it to search for life in the universe.
