Lawrence, I am curious about your estimate (and agnostic, this is not
argumentative). Do you figure that any planet similar to Earth* will invariably
develop intelligent life? Or are you estimating a certain probability for such
a planet? And do you figure that intelligent life could emerge in conditions
very different from Earth?
