Do you think the telescope Kepler will find Earth-like planets? Think there will be some inhabitants?

   More than likely although Kepler is only studying a small fraction of the sky.
   
   As for inhabitants, unlikely unless it can mass-spec

   Earth-like planets? Definitely (we have found many planets that are potentially earth-like)
   Life? Of course. There's bound to be life on some.
   Intelligent Life? Maybe; if not in our galaxy, probably in another.
   Will we be able to communicate with them? Probably & Hopefully NOT :P No need to ruin our/someone elses lives
   
   And if we find signs of life from FAAR away, those signs come from a LOOONG time ago (since light can't travel very fast), so those people are probably dead or moved away :P

   OH, God I hope so and I hope they are a lot better than the lot that lives here.

   Yes, but this may take hundreds of centuries.

   absolutely not. earth is one of a kind, and life as we know it is almost impossible to be somewhere else. no way we are that lucky to find one, not only in the same galaxy with us, but in the same part of our galaxy, as we are so limited... No, earth and humans will be long gone before this question will have an answer, before we find out if there is life elsewhere.

   No telescope in the world would ever be capable of finding any Earth like planets,there are planets out there is a vast universe,but many many light Years away.
