Oh yeah? Prove it?

You'll have to take it on trust!


P.S. Nobody worry: I've got the best part of 4 billions years' worth of
evolution stopping me stopping.

Probably closer to 1 billion. Around the time when multicellular
organisms arose and had the equipment to "think" about the environment
they found themselves in.

Well, a little googling finds first life of any kind was about 3.7
billion years ago. Life that had DNA was 1.5 billion years ago, and
reproductive life that became mobile was about 400 million years ago.
first life on land was about 370 million years ago. Animal life started
around 225 million years ago, and mammals appeared around 65 million
years ago. Man only appeared around 100,000 years ago.
