    Bit of a cheat i'm afraid! I did a joint degree in Geology and Physics, but
    did not pass my finals (I was lousy at solid state physics and acoustics).
    But i've been interested in QM etc most of my life even if a lot of the math
    is beyond me. you can see why evolution interests me.

    Regards

    Steve
