That's my point.
.you pretend to know the number is vanishingly small. You do not know this.
I said the hypothese "self organisation of matter" is wrong in sense of a kind of a "must lead to intelligent life" (or to life at all). Nearly the only thing we see all around us is dead matter and not living matter.
I love science fiction (as long as it is not only a western) - but I fear specially all science fiction ideas in this context are only the same as for example the illusions of the ancient Greeks about their very "human" gods and their very "human" superheroes. And the belief in science is anything else than science on its own. A thinking machine like for example "Commander Data" is perhaps nothing else than an impossibility and what we call today "artificial intelligence" we could perhaps also call "artificial stupidity" or "our own natural stupidity". Even so called "quantum computers" are perhaps only a new form of an intellectual perpetuum mobile.
