Right now, this would bring the probability of life occuring to 100% if the two conditions are met. This does not seem right. I think amino acids would be plentiful if the conditions are met since the radiation would be sufficient if the C and D are met. It would not be the limiting factor and would be a result of C and D.

The density function would most likely be well modeled with a logaritmic function based on the size of the galaxy. The two functions would probably look similar.

Actually the whole form is wrong because there is no reason to believe that D=.50 and C=.50 implies L=.25.

C will depend internally upon what is labelled D above.

[quote]Really, first contact with Earth should not occur at all until:

1) religion has no hold over intelligence, decision making, or even comportment.

2) There is no want in any part of the world.

3) There is total democracy in the world - with no corporation or country or interest group holding sway.

4) Overt aggression is a thing of the past.

5) The Environment is repected and preserved in its use, not plundered until it is entirely wiped out

Nonsense

I see someone has been reading some HG Wells. But... that is never going to happen. Besides to say that makes it sound like the federation is riding artound out past mars just waiting for us to finish their check list before they fly down and open the skies up to us. Anything is possable, but I'd find it unlikely.

just the way god wanted it

My stars (which are real) you have such befuddled 'thinking' it's pathetic.

If that's the way your 'god' wanted it, then why didn't it make things that way in the first place and keep them that way?

By the way, I'm not interested in yet another pointless tirade of your smug recital of dogma, while several people disprove your bullshit straight to your face without you even recognizing it.
