How much time for life is possible?

Notes

  1. Life of Universe from Big Bang to end of Black Hole Era is 10^100 years
  2. Life as we know it formed on earth formed ~4 billon years ago and cannot last for more than another 6 billion years (when our sun becomes a red giant) = 10^10
  3. 10^10/10^100 = ~1/100% x 1/1000 x 1000,000,000 x 9 = (10^86)-1

Maths is quite right. What was the mistake I made??
