I admire for an argument that uses mathematical figure to prove alien life or ETIs, but I can't see how one jumps from probability that life could arise to the fact there is life out there - just because it is statistical inevitable? I think formulas like the Drake Equation has less to do with statistic analysis and more to do with wishful thinking. The most of the variables in the equation can not be known. No one can take a equation with hypothetical variables and use them to conclude that that equation produces a scientific answer.
