You know actually this is bugging me. # of life/# stars is fucking awful math. It's the equivalent of shuffling a deck of cards dealing them all out and concluding, that because there are 100 billion decks of cards in the world, that the odds of getting that particular ordering is 1 in 10^11. It's not, its 1 in 8x10^67. All it takes is TWO decks of cards before the probability of a given ordering is less than 1/(# of atoms in the universe)... squared even. Saying the chances of life forming in the galaxy is AT WORST 1 in a trillion just because, hey we exist right? is straight up fucking wrong.
