Look, I believe extraterrestrial life exists in some form, but using the Drake Equation and saying it is somehow evidence is pure balogna. Almost half of the formula is based on conjecture and little to absolutely no proof. There is absolutely no way to actually test the formula, and absolutely no way to know if it's true or not.
You really think it is possible to know what fraction of extraterrestrial life, for instance, is technologically advanced enough to be able to let someone else know of their existence in space? How can ANYONE, at this stage in human existence, know that number? Is that not merely a guess? How can you plug that number into that formula and think you have actual
evidence of intelligent, extraterrestrial life?
My point isn't whether there may or may not be life out there. It's whether there is any more actual
evidence to prove that there is over the existence of a god.
Drake Equation or not, there really isn't. At least, not that the government is releasing anytime soon.
