AFTER reading with great interest of the letter of DR Smith regarding evolution, a lot he says is true, but he is missing the true meaning of the development of the world, after all, when you think deeply about it, why should anything we do, be down to us.

The giant hadron collider costing many millions of pounds is working to find the point of evolution, don’t forget to write down the date when it arrives.

What an embarrassment to find out after all this expense there is a genteel old man with a small screwdriver, looking very surprised, at the end.
