Natural geometry of elements to the myriad of peptides to complex twining and folding of helical pairs within eggs that are cells gaurantee life origins are astronomically more common than commonly used in Drake equations. However once into a further evolution mutation jump to chance multicelluar organisms where fluid pressure pump pulsation is likely standard, the question of senses and spines or limbed shells and imunities and key molecular stores to continue and pass to further stages and even higher forms over time verses chance destructive storm meteoric or radiations of nature are complete randoms on Drake equation. All assuming fragile C base verses Si base that might proliferate in high energy non aqueous scenarios. RIP and respect to Sagan, Clarke and Asimov.
