And thinking that God created a universe of BILLIONS (Trillions, quadrillions, etc) of (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | (...) I think you're well-intentioned - but on the mathematics game -- you're sorely mis-informed. I'll take your billions and even trillions of stars against my 10^50 any day. You see, you're talking 10^12 vs 10^50 -it's soooo far off it's (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | (...) You likewise seem fairly well-intentioned, and I agree that 10^50 is more stars than I can hold in my hand at once. However, the Drake equation (I remembered its name at last!) addresses the likelihood of life, and it often (depending on the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | | (...) I very much appreciate having someone attempt disproof - Thanks! Actually, the Drake Equation has nothing to do with the chance of life evolving. It only has to do with the chance of communication with it (another life) given that one assumes (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | | (...) Okay, but it seems to me that life must evolve into existence before it can be considered likely to communicate with us, so I still think the Drake equation gives a useful model. Especially since the number of intelligent species must by (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | 1 - I dispute your 1:10^50 2 - I don't have the # of stars in the universe handy (NOONE does), but it is multi-magnitudes beyond trillions. Not to mention the possibility of multiple planets around a large # of those stars is becoming more evident (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
