Well, it is (finally) a beautiful summer’s day in this part of England. I finished work and sought out a nice spot to sit and go through my talk notes for Sunday. Whilst here I thought ‘I wonder if there is any free wi-fi going?’ and lo and behold there is! The wonders of modern technology!

Blogging from McDonald’s!
The connection speed here at the McDonalds at the A34 intersection at Milton Park near Didcot is great! About 5 times better speed than my connection at home! The staff here didn’t even know about the free wifi. Thanks Maccy Dees - your food might be awful but your free wifi is great.
Oh and can I just say, First Great Western express trains are great.
“Our Evolution is Rather Unlikely”

“It suggests that our evolution is rather unlikely — in fact, the timing of events is consistent with it being very rare indeed.” - Andrew Walker, University of East Anglia
Well Andrew, I must congratulate you. Your research has only confirmed what we already knew - life didn’t evolve from nothing. In fact, life didn’t evolve at all!
Earthlings overcame horrendous odds — Watson pegs it at less than 0.01 percent over 4 billion years — to achieve life.
I’d love to know where Watson got that figure from. He figures that each key step had a high end probability of 10% over 4 billion years. This is ridiculous and one must wonder what evidence he had to hand. Apparently he used “fossil records.” Well, that is like listening to a millisecond of a the Beatles White Album and writing a comprehensive review.
“I listened to a millisecond of “The White Album” and predict that it will fail miserably in the music charts.” Mark Burland, on his blog, 2008.
“All recording in near perfect detail what our memories could not.”
