Alien life is a question of probability. And probability states that if every star in the universe has as little as one planet per star, and even if that planet has no moon what so ever, there will pretty much be a guarentee that there will be an almost exact replica of earth out there.
Even so, we're not considering the possibility of silicon based life forms. Life as we view it is in a very limited sense; we believe that Life needs water, and that life must have Carbon molecules in it. However, we ignore the fact that life could function using completely different molecules to accomplish the same feats that we do with water and carbon. The chemical process used to create energy requires carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in order to function. Once it's completed, it returns carbon dioxide, dihydrogen oxide, and heat. It also creates materials for the cells, and gives off energy required to do anything in the body.
There's nothing to say that life couldn't use liquid Methane and various other substances to create the exact same results.
