Did I not say "more likely" ?
Fact is , the recent quantifiers added to Drake's equation show that there is very little to no chance .
I go by the Laws of Probability and Statistics.
Not imagination.

Drake's equation is not evidence. It's a theory, that's all. We have absolutly no clue if there is, or if there is not intelligent life firms in our galaxy, not a clue.
That is the fact of the matter. There may be none, there may be some, or the galaxy could be filled with intelligent life in our galaxy. We simply do not know.
You mean Drake's equation was a humorous example of how the Laws of Probability could be applied to astronomy ?
You would be correct.
However , it can serve as a qualified equation if one adds all the various quantifiers that would be required for intelligent life to have formed.
We may very well be alone in this universe.

In our own galaxy, bow many suns have we observed with planets? What percentage have we observed? There could be thousands, millions of suns in our galaxy that have planets in the Goldilocks.
We don't do not know, and no Drake's equation theory is going to change that fact at the moment. As much as people lime to think they know, they do not know.
And probability may show there is none .
Again , I prefer math and science over fantasy and science fiction.

How the hell does me saying we do not know equal
fantasy and science fiction? That makes no sense at all. The Drake's equation is not scientific fact, so stop acting lime it is because no one knows for certain.

Did I call you out , or was I speaking of my own outlook on the entire alien deal ?
Just another Goobermint psych-op . They All of a Sudden WANT Us to Believe in Aliens and the Possible Threat they could pose to the World Order .........

I keep waiting for the TTSA ala Tom Delonge to treat us with disclosure, along with his NIDs and the entire G. Knapp posse.
I have to admit that their marketing was great and worked with their targeted demographic really well.
I enjoyed the skinwalker movies and that other one about Bob Lazar.

I was expecting a big fat "BUT..." at the end of that post, but it never came.
However, you say yourself that you have "Enjoyed" all those products. So you have been "Entertained". Just as well, then, that TTSA and Skinwalker Ranch are already officially registered as "Entertainment" entities. They have perfected their roles; you probably gave them some hard-earned money, and all is well.
Just don't expect any kind of Disclosure.
Re the OP's mention of Spielberg, many don't realise that many of the incidents depicted in 'Close Encounters' were based on genuine UFO incidents and reports, most notably the opening dialogue in the radar room and the later police chase. More controversially, rumours abound that the final Act of the movie was inspired by a real alien landing and contact with USAF personnel at Holloman Air Force Base in 1971. Legend has it (I haven't checked) that you can hear muttering in the crowds referring to that case.
But 1977 (with a couple of years pre-planning of course) was good timing for a spectacular, big-budget UFO movie. Huge publicity surrounded cases such as Travis Walton two years previously, as well as the Pascagoula abduction in 1973 (a busy year for sightings). The TV transmission of 'The UFO Incident' (1975) about Betty & Barney Hill also managed to whet many appetites, as did the Rod Serling-presented 1974 TV documentary UFOS: Past, Present And Future whose last five minutes allegedly includes real footage (never confirmed of course) of the aforementioned Holloman incident.
Hynek's involvement in Spielberg's opus is not that surprising considering that the very title of the film was his own creation.

Actually it does make sense. You're including "we" in those things that you say no one knows, when it is you that doesn't know by your own admission. You're including everyone else in those things you don't have knowledge of. That right there is a sort of fantasy if you think about it honestly.
