Thats a long time.. Fossils are not really hard to find its more a matter of knowing where to look.. They are very much a part of the geological record in my home state of Montana.. One of the strangest records is the top of the Matterhorn wich is from the african continent. Weird but true..

Just changed to a tablet that removes sugars from blood via kidneys. Disrupts the rest of the digestive system less, which has been a big problem the last ten years. I am still amazed by people who find fossils and how they sniff them out. I may as well be hunting truffles without a pig. I have the same difficulty with evolution and time, but guess I have no real concept of the vastness of time I explored the idea of a civilization 4 billion years older than ours that is no longer libidinal, do energy matter conversion and so on - and found I lacked imagination. Must be my zombie-moron-lack-of-diversity gene. I can't understand how we walked out of the sea, or whatever precursor did. We have seen lizards evolve in real time in the West Indies somewhere. I guess I can see survival mechanisms in transition. Genetics and increasingly epigenetics do tell us a lot about biological change. I'm not much concerned religious text gets so much wrong. Deprived of modern science I don't think I would have a clue. We can invent stories now and one looks much like another in terms of plot, genre and characters from Attic tragedy and comedy. Visitations from gods and angels seem very unlikely, pretty much like monetary policy. I favour looking at the stuff as fiction, quite a common matter in history and source evaluation. The Mars trip is throwing up some interesting fuel-saving dodges One is to chuck us out in front of the planet so its gravity pulls us in, and to slow us down in its atmosphere to save braking fuel. This would leave enough propulsion energy to get us back using a similar trick with Earth. Europa is my preferred destination, though gravity and radiation effects from Jupiter pose extra problems. Life at either venue would pose some interesting questions, hopefully through a universal translator.
