The Drake Equation
1961

N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L

N = The number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.

R* =The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life.

fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.

ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.

fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.

fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges. For more information, please visit Dr. William Calvin's "The Drake Equation's fi"

fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.

L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

___________________________________________________________________________

Notice Ne and Fl...these numbers relate to the number of planets suitable for life, and those that contain life. The assumption of SETI and those that believe that there is intelligent life in the universe outside of earth is that these numbers aren't ZERO.

hypothesis
Ne and Fl are NOT zero

Result of our research
has not confirmed this hypothesis.
Therefore, we have no measurement or proof of this hypothesis.
At what point should we abandon this hypothesis and form a new hypothesis?
_________________________________________________________________

NEW HYPOTHESIS:
Ne and Fl are zero. We are uniquely created by God.

Result of our research:
The rest of the cosmos was created NOT for life, but for an entirely different purpose altogether.
"The heavens declare the glory of God." [Psalm 19:1]
