As previously mentioned, it’s good to see the rising popularity of astrophysicist Dr. Brian Cox.

In this video, he explains that life on Earth is about 4 billion years old, but for the first 3 billion, there was nothing more complicated than single celled organisms.

To me, it also makes one wonder why it took God 3 billion years to create the first multicelled form of life.
