I believe the typical Drake equation results are off by several THOUSAND orders of magnitude. If it takes 1 in 300 trillion trillion for a polypeptide to form from an amino acid, and several hundred thousand of those to form a simple life cell, then the chances of life forming are 1/[(300,000,000,000,000,000,000)^100,000] — not 1/100.
Note that mathemeticians consider something impossible if it is less than 1/10^50
But... maybe I’m off by 3 or 4 orders of magnitude — I’ll spot you 5.
