Re: SPACE Digest V2 #78
From: Paul Dietz <DIETZ USC-ECL AT>
The claim in that news article that life has been in existence on the
Earth for only 1/2 billion years is patently false.  There is evidence
for life going back over 3 1/2 billion years.  In fact, it is now
thought that it is very easy for life to get started, taking only a few
million years.
