  There are many baseless assumptions that goes along with artributing the population of a galaxy to an equation. The glarring one is artributing everything, and life in particular, to the works of blind chances. Thus the number of planets in a given galaxy is proportional to the number of life there. Right? Wrong!!
  
  Lets enumerate sobering fact about our solar system.
  1.)The mainstream stories offered for formation of solar system are ridiculus.
  2.)We have the earth situated at just the right distance from the sun to allow life
  3.)The earth is just tilted well to allow for seasons
  4.)The moon just orbit at the exact place to facilitate life
  5)our fine structure constant is just the right one to allow life
  6.)our sun is just the right size neaded to sustain life
  7.) The earth is of just the right size to allow life
  8)the earth's magnetic field, atmosphere, ozone layer etc is the one precisely neaded for life.
  
  The list is endless. This to me suggest that there should be only 3 factors appearing in Drake equation.
  1) rate of star formation
  2.)The fraction of stars that contain life sustaining planets
  3.)The amount of time such planets remain capable of sustaining life
  
  In other words, life is a natural consequence of a condusive enviroment. The probability of finding life at some time in a life sustaining planet is exactly one! Don't ask me why!

  Of course SETI eventually got disapointed, after some over 40 years cropping in the pitch dark, 'looking for a black cat', 'which perhaps doesn't exist'. But I tend to see the problem being on the means of interstellar communication employed by a sufficiently advanced civilization. We have an habit of thinking that a modern means of communication is the best there can be accross the universe! This is to say that if SETI was established back in stonnage, they would be seeking smock signals from ETs! Of course such would be futile! If quantum entanglement is being employed by advance civilizations, then Einstein's mesmerisms will probably keep us outdated for the next million or so years!

  The factor that I highly suspect that it is zero is fe: the number of planets that developed life. This is exactly where I point out the real problem with Drake way of thinking. It is entirely mainstream science pattern of thinking, giving no room to the possibility that we donnot yet well understand how the universe work, how stars form how life form, what kind of life are possible etc. That is why there is no ADDITIONS in the equation. We have only MULTIPLICATIONS.
  
  fe actually should expand to give room for more possibilities. it should go:
  
  fe=fk+fs+fd+fg+fn
  
  fk=number of carbon based life,
  fd=number of life if spontaneous abiogenesis is true
  fg=number of life if God created life
  fn=number of life if living beings are genetically engineered.
  
  Then Drake assumes that intelligent life must only develope on an earth-like planet! He for instance completely have no idea of possible life inside the star itself! Yes, a kinda life adobted to such a hot enviroment!! So an entire new set of terms must be added to the right hand side of the equation. We must have:
  
  N=Nd+Ne
  
  Nd=the right hand side of the Drake equation
  Ne=term that takes care of life that does not have to form on planets.
