Steve Merrick Quote

Charles Darwin's only mistake was in not being a physicist, because the entire process of evolution started before our planet formed, with the event called the big bang, at this point our knowledge is such that I can hazard this further observation, all of the building blocks of life started at that moment, and that is how far we can back track this process of evolution.

About Steve Merrick

Steven Paul Merrick (born 22 November 1968) is an Australian former rugby union international.
Merrick played only rugby league while growing up in Singleton and didn't switch codes until he was 18. He played rugby union for Singleton in the Hunter Valley competition and was a New South Wales country representative.
In 1995, Merrick was Australia's scrum-half in two Bledisloe Cup Tests against New Zealand, taking the place of George Gregan. He had debuted for the New South Wales Waratahs earlier that year and his promotion to the Wallabies side was one of many made after team's poor showing at the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Merrick turned down a lucrative contract from the ARFU to return to Singleton, where he worked as a coal truck driver. The contract would have required he be based in Sydney and play for the Waratahs rather than Singleton.
