Who cares, really? It isn't something that we ought to be doing polls about.
The Earth and our solar system are about 4.5 billion years old, and for most people, it doesn't make any difference in their lives. If they want to think differently, it is their right to be incorrect.
Nothing is known about life on other planets. However, too little is known about other planets to know for sure. For example, so far we haven't been able to take a close look at planets outside our Solar System, and even the planets within our Solar System are not very well-explored.
You can only believe in something that may or may not have happened. Billions of people witnessed first hand 24 men fly and 12 men land on the moon. There is no doubt about the fact that they were there.
The big bang began the expansion of spacetime with great rapidity. The Universe began with the Big Bang. In other words both space and time began at the big bang. The big bang started the Universe from the point t=0.
During the 1500s, most people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, with all other celestial bodies orbiting around it. This geocentric model of the universe was largely supported by the Catholic Church and the prevailing scientific understanding at the time, known as the Ptolemaic system.
About 99% of the population believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe. One major reason was because it had been the main belief since the time of Aristotle. Some people heard about Heliocentrism, but refused to accept it because they just didn't care. It didn't affect them in anyway if the earth was at the center or not. This society was very agrarian, so as long as the fields were good it didn't matter. The Scientific Revolution was a movement of the elite, a small percentage of the population which shared ideas in books that were meant to be read by intelligent people, not the laity.

Natural curiosity - coupled with the belief that, with billions of galaxies in the universe - we surely can't be the only planet with life on it !
