There is so much we not only don't understand, but can't comprehend, so my vote is solidly on yes.

>but can't comprehend,

This is the key point, if we can't comprehend the existence of something, how the hell would we figure out how to look for it?

This thought messes with me. A human is made of multiple types of life that act on its own what if all of this is part of something else that’s more complex than we can ever imagine just like we have cut bacteria and blood cells that could never comprehend our existence.

All of those bits of life acting on their own require liquid water, a gaseous atmosphere, and a certain temperature range to exist.

So, if we find liquid water and a certain temperature range on another planet, it's more likely we'll find life there than on, say, the scorching hot/near absolute zero, radiation blasted vacuum of Mercury.
