Hi Kathy!
I wouldn't be mad either and I don't think we have reasons to be mad :)
Life existing somewhere else wouldn't contradict the laws of the universe or scripture in my opinion.
Life existing somewhere else wouldn't make us less unique in my opinion
Mercury, Venus and Mars are definitely not as biologically active as our planet and I would agree that the seeds of life prospered here far better than our neighbors!
End the end what does it all mean? Nothing really. The plan of salvation carries on with or without Joe Blow alien! ;D
Nothing added and nothing taken away.

As a cellular bio major, evolution as the origin of life, unguided, is a complete farce and requires more faith than believing God made the animals, man and life as we know it.
I say this with good authority and understanding on the subject.
Adaptation and "micro evolution" as they would call it does occurs all around us but... "macro evolutions" as the origins of life is as of yet nothing more than a theory.
Unfortunately the term evolution itself is constantly changing and all it means today in a university and scholarly setting is a "change over time." In that sense... adapation constitutes as evolution so I guess that means evolution brought about all this life because we just said adaptation does occur right? WRONG PALE FACE! It's not the evolution you're thinking of.
Adaptation brings about variations in species over time but it does not change one species into another. This would be the difference between "micro" and "macro" evolution. Virus' undergo mutations which cause adaptive changes to secure their survival in an ever changing environment as well as bacteria (and even ourselves, see; "sickle cell anemia" and why it displays dominant patterns of inheritance) but these virus' and bacteria do not change into eukaryotic organisms and etc.. they remain virus' and bacteria respectively.
Here's the catch though.. an evolutionist would argue that with enough time and adaptations (aka mutations).. adaptions or "micro evolution" can result in "macro evolution." This has not been proven nor shown to occur. It's just assumed.
Become a cell bio major if you want more info and you'll learn why evolution is just not the answer.
I'm a year away from my B.S. degree as well as a minor in chemistry.
IF evolution happened and that's a big if, and not the adaptation kind, then it was guided by the hands of The Almighty. There simply is no other way. Not even with 4.6 billion years worth of time.
I guess that's my, informed, opinion. ;)
God bless,

Yes earth is special teaming with life. Life is in the skys, in the deepest darkest coldest parts at the bottom of the oceans where no life should be. Life is in the hottest deserets around the world. Life in the coldest parts of the artic. AS humans we think as humans do. Yes, the our moon seems to be a wast land. We know alot about the planets in our solar system. At least we think we think we know. Just as we knew that no life could exist on the bottom of our oceans where its pitch dark and colder than &%^*. Thats untill man took their first journy to the bottom and was amazed at the life that did exist. Totally shocked and talking about alien. Lets face facts. Just as we knew for sure without a doubt that the world was flat. We knew for sure that earth was the center of the universe. Just we know something for sure, we find out we dont know. Theres one thing I can say for certain im 100% sure I do not know if there is any kind of life on other planets. Sicentist are dicovering at an alarming speed that there are many, many earth like planets in the universe. we know alot about our little solar system. As far as outer space and beyone we know next to nothing. It just very hard (for me) to beleive The Greatest Creator God Himself would limited His creation of life on one small planet in one tiny speck of a galaxy among billions of planets and galaxies accross His universe. I beleive that there is so much we dont know about the big picture. I believe scripture that ALL IS Of God all came from God and All will go back to God. I think the word ALL is more than human can comprehend.

To be precise, evolution isn't the origin of life, it just explains the diversity of life. Abiogenesis deals with the origin of life.

Yes, one predates the other. Since kat and akira were talking about evolution, I felt like jumping into the conversation right there.
But yes, technically this is true.
Random chance, luck and time is all that is required for either. I don't buy into that. If abiogenesis and evolution did occur (which I don't believe evolution on a macro scale did) then it was guided and not random or luck at all.
God bless,
Alex
