Obviously rough estimates... or anybody got a good link?

well
lets see
lets say we have 100,000,000,000 stars in our galaxy (an aprox made by NASA)
and there are about 100,000,000,000 galaxies out there with as many stars as us. ( a low guess on my part )
so that gives us
10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
stars out there
since we have not found life on any other planet yet.
we don't have an accurate guess at the probability for life on a planet.
we seem to be 1 in 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
thats way less than 1 percent. its trilllions of times smaller than 1 % its 0.0 000 000 000 000 000 000 001
(I) think we have at least a .00001 chance of life out there.
that gives us 100 000 000 000 000 000 chances of life out there in those stars
@ 1% we have
100 000 000 000 000 000 000 chances of
yes. I don't know if I buy the drake equation either.
but I know mine is just as bad

The Drake Equation says that there 10 civilizations that can communicate with us in the galaxy, using very rough estimates.

Its not a chance I'm 101% sure that there is an intelligent life in the universe and i know their numbers. They are all in heaven and their commander in chief is the source of all power and life in the universe were in. He has a great and powerful army no one can surpass and they were called ANGELS. their number is ten thousand times ten thousand. Anyone can go where their world is and you can find instruction in the best selling book of al ages- the Bible.

To determine that with any accuracy, wouldn't one need to know the approximate number of stars in the Universe, and the approximate percentage of those that have planets around them, and since we know of only ONE that has life, that's not going to work, I don't think. I think you'd need to discover how tenacious life is in extreme environments OFF this planet to have any real notion concerning how likely it is that there are other lifeforms out there. I personally think they exist, though.

There's a formula for it called the Drake Equation. If you Google that, it should tell you.

None, from what I have encountered there is no intelligent life in this universe.

The Drake Equation is crap.

no equasions, but i personally think it would be rather prideful to believe that we are the only intelligent lifeforms
