"It is time to lay to rest the misguided, but popularly believed un-truth that gradual, step by step random mutations could have climbed the mountain of improbability and produced the magnificent abundance of the earth’s biosphere. Accomplishing this goal requires suffering through a bit of 8th grade multiplication, some high school biology and a touch of cosmology.
