There is some green dirt though, caused by bacteria in the soil... There may be blue dirt too
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

I believe that there are for more things than we can comprehend present in the universe, even what we've seen on our own planet.

That's a valid point.  Depending on the conditions of a species' evolution it might take a form humans fail to recognize as a life form.

If you take into consideration the sheer impossible odds of such an immensely complex planet to occour....

And on top of that the sheer impossible odds of the material universe existing in the first place....

And then consider the sheer impossible odds of transcendant thought producing such values as love, art, beauty and music.....

Yes.
I'm guessing the mystery girl is some kind of root vegetable.

Considering that the universe has spanned (and will span) a quantity of both space and time (or space-time for those of you Astrophysicists out there) that completely dwarves how far and long life on this planet has existed and spread...considering the complexity of life and the odds...
It's almost certain. But as already mentioned I'm doubtful that we'll encounter other forms of life before humanity reaches its end and I'm equally sceptical that we'll recognise it as life when and if we see it. The concept that "Gods" from the past are actually other life forms makes sense but again, I have my doubts. Even if the odds were that other life couldn't possibly exist within logical reasoning, I refuse to believe that us and our planet are alone. That we should believe that humans are the only "intelligent" life in the universe (if we can even call ourselves that) smacks of ego and highlights us as special, which I disagree with.
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.
