So no advance on the Drake equation, then.

I do seee with in the Drake Equation an attempt to relate their ...what I believe to be a percentage system ...numbers to a percentage chance for the universe..which if infinite would mean any percentage is sort of going to be infinite...so any example of life multipled by infinite will produce an answer of infinite ..we are that sample ..life is infinite in an infinite universe.

Alex, percentage can not be infinite... it could be 100% maximum (but I know what you meant ;))

i feel better knowing that something of my point is taken.
its probably a little lawyer like but the universe is so big i dont see how the Drake approach offers a really useful tool
