And I really don't think Moores law will ever have anything to do with the odds of evolution or odds of life in the cosmo's.
Biodiversity expands as a factor of its current self, not at a set rate.

And i did consider age, I was not discussing age of living things. I was discussing odds that big evolutionary leaps would happen. I gave it 5%. I thought that was overly fair. Earth sat lifeless for 70% of its existence.

Like I said it was just a thought about how a 100 M planets with life would translate into only 100's planets with intelligent (Math & Science) life, vary quickly. Until we get out there there is really no way of knowing where we lay on the scale of intelligent life, but I was suggesting the scale might be much smaller than some are suggesting.
