wait another four and see some interesting times along the way.

Is that rock named Simon & Garfunkel?

How lonely has is been?

An interesting story on this idea is “The Slow Ones,” contained in THE DRACO TAVERN, by Larry Niven.

half billions years? might as well say billion or whatever, for it is just a guess,as for knowing they really don’t for our lives are only around 80 so the history or the earth is really based on assumptions and guesses

Just can’t wander around and talk to the neighbors.

Must be the 12 O’Clock Rock

Watch out Mr. Plant… After a half-billion years he just wants to ♫♪♫ Love You Like a Rock ♫♪♫.

The plant is better than the birds, apparently.

“Good! When I give you the cue, start clapping your leaves.” – Oops, flash back to the seventies ;) BC has been a favorite of mine for a looong time.

In a deep and dark December…

Chris and Robert ?

Where are the paper and scissors?

NOT!

@So Lonely.

" the history or the earth is really based on assumptions and guesses".True, but pretty good guesses and assumptions, based on real science rather than wild guesses pulled out of thin air..(Now a real wild guess would be 5.001.159,002 years three months 2 weeks one day and 47 minutes plus or minus 30 million.)

You are in need of education my friend. What are you waiting for?Though I’m sure you know this, the type of person who questions the age of the earth and related issues on the basis of some religious book (which he has arbitrarily chosen to believe, rather than the hundreds of other religious books available), is decidedly not interested in education. He’s interested in preserving what you so insightfully refer to as his “fantasy and ignorance,” probably for personal reasons relating to issue of social control.Though I doubt SoLonely will bother to answer (“don’t cast your pearls before swine”), I would like to know what he thinks about the fact that long-lived isotopes (half lives of 710 million years and up) exist in nature, but those with a shorter half-life (except a few formed by well-understood physical processes, such as carbon-14) do not. Doesn’t fit too well with 6,000 year old earth, does it? But then again, why bother with facts when you can just make stuff up?

Dr. Russell Humphreys, a PhD physycist, once said ’eighty percent of the ways we date the earth show it to be young
