 How do you know?  If the probability of very simple life forming is 
extremely high than this finite amount of planets is not enough.  I see this 
as no more than a guess.  In fact, there is less evidence to support your 
case than there is of ets visiting the earth....oh and using the earth as an 
example is futile...if you tried doing statistics with one data point, you 
would be shot on the spot.
       Funny how this could all turn out.  Life might be so improbable, that 
we are the only ones around, yet it is ONLY when we are around that we can 
make this observation.
