The observable universe - the part we can see - is indeed finite at about 92 billion light-years across. We know this because light has had only 14 billion years to travel since the so-called Big Bang. 

That said, the Universe is expanding into 'what'?

Where is the Universe expanding, 'from'? 

Care to tackle that question. 🤪

Logic doesn't tell us that nor does science. And for those who think otherwise please read up on the Fermi paradox

The best information we have now is that the universe is not unlimited but is finite. We're still unsure of the exact conditions that are necessary to produce life but we are certain the most worlds that we can detect are uncapable of sustaining life. Therefore there is a finite number of worlds that can produce life and that number may be a lot smaller than we thought.

Additionally while they may support life there's no guarantee that they will support or eventually lead to intelligent life as we know it. Therefore it would not reasonably be possible to say that "logically" they are comparable to us in any respect, never mind 'ahead or behind'. 

I don't think you understand what logic is. You certainly don't understand what science is

The idea that life could exist on other planets is a logical concept supported by both scientific reasoning and empirical evidence.

Scientists (science?) look for biosignatures — chemical, physical, or geological clues that suggest life exists beyond Earth. These can be detected through remote sensing, in-situ analysis, or geological context.

The universe may be infinite, but current observations cannot definitively confirm this or not? (what a revelation)

Fermi's idea is not a scientific theory – basically, if we can’t see ‘them’ then they don’t exist.

U can't see atoms so they don't exist. 😅

This is not what you originally said, though, nor what was being argued against. 

You said:

"Logic would tell u that there are an unlimited number of planets in the Universe that could support life as we know it. "

That is a different statement from now saying:

"The idea that life could exist on other planets is a logical concept supported by both scientific reasoning and empirical evidence."

Planets vs. life, dude?

You didn't actually respond to the issue... you said one thing, that was a bad assertion, then you pivot to saying something else.

It is no such thing, and you've just demonstrated you have no clue what logic is or what you're talking about

Nope. That's not what the science says, and if it did it woudn't be logic it would be statistics.  The problem is that we don't know what the conditions to create  life are yet, nor do we have any idea how many 'earth like' planets there are. So the best we can say is that based on what we know it's statistically probable that there are planets out there where life COULD form, and some of them MAY have life.

Nobody said it was. I asked you to read it to understand the issue.

Sigh. And you obviously didn't read it. That's not remotely close even a little bit to the fermi paradox.

You can see atoms stupid. 

Transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

Wow. You packed a lot of proof that you're dumber than a rock into one post there kiddo   You don't really understand any of this do you.  Maybe we should start with the basics, i'll explain fire to you next week    LOLOL
