Alright, so I was thinking today. Usually when I think it doesn't turn out like this, but now I'm really wondering what other people think about this...if other people actually think about things like this.
They say the universe is approximately 5 to 6 billion years old, or so I've heard. And they say that Earth is about 4.8 billion years old. Now, doesn't that seem weird to you? I feel like there wasn't enough time between the big bang/formation of the universe and the formation of Earth. Now, I fully understand that the Earth that was formed 4.8 billion years ago was nothing like Earth as we now know it, but it still feels weird. I don't think the Earth was all lava and firey all that long ago...Certainly not 4.8 billion years ago.
I have nothing else of substance to say.
