Wow!  It seems that life started even earlier than we suspected.  1.6 billion year old shell-like fossils are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

 :o Further proof, as if Darwin wasnt enough, that there is no such thing as a god and that the earth is actaully older than 6,000 years  :o

How many lives have been needlessly wasted proving that this god was better than that god  :dunno:
