We are delighted to be hosting Dr Mark Harwood again, following his successful speaking tour in 2009. We do hope you’ll join us at one of his meetings this year.
Mark completed his formal education at the University of Sydney in 1978 where his postgraduate studies focused on radiotelescopes and computer techniques for antenna design and measurement. He played a key role in the development of the Australia’s national satellite system from its inception in 1980. Most recently, Mark led the design effort and the preparation of the business cases for the three Optus D-series satellites, launched in 2006, 2007 and 2009. Mark has now retired from Optus where he was General Manager, Strategy and Planning for the satellite business.

Optus is a satellite operator. It neither designs nor manufactures hem, not even its own satellites. He certainly managed the Optus D specification and procurement process but that is not the same as design. I've never, in 30 years, heard of a commercial communications satellite operator which designed its own satellites. There are just a handful of satellite manufacturers capable of designing commercial communications satellites.

Which reminds me: since the land was inundated sufficiently to kill all but resistant seeds like olives (which benefit from treatment with strong chemicals to get them to germinate), did Noah take a grass "kind" onto his ark? He'd not only need it to feed the herbivores (which all animals were then? Or was that only until the fall?) but to resow the earth ready for them to develop into everything from sheep's fescue to elephant grass and maize over the next couple of thousand years.

I don't know the answer to Brian's question but it occurs to me that the Olympic Torch Relay is a very good analogy for the Bible-inspired young creation apologetics ministry known as 'creation science'.
The torch will be following an extremely circuitous route across the UK since starting out on its journey at Land's End. But its intended final destination in late July is without a shadow of a doubt.
And on it's way back it'll be going past the end of my road. And thats literally, so i'll be cheering it on! I'll check the date as I wave and make sure its concordant with the stated date but as a evilutionist obviously I'll be deliberately interpreting it differently to spread satanism in some strange way.The torch will be following an extremely circuitous route across the UK since starting out on its journey at Land's End.

If you can bear to listen to Marcs talk on the global flood they were all herbivores - including t rex.He'd not only need it to feed the herbivores (which all animals were then? Or was that only until the fall?)
