The real question, of course, is whether or not there is any sentient life on other planets.
Put in this way.
In one situation there is God.
In the other there is no God.
If there is God it would be unlikely that God would
apply one rule for one planet and a different rule for the next
so everywhere there would be good and bad.
If on the other hand there would not be God then
everything is possible so in certain planets the life would be good
all the time or bad all the time but this would be very strange indeed.
