How Old Is The Earth

[FuschsiaUchi25]

good topic to discuss, but lets not hijack the original thread.
we should start a separate thread on this.

Ok

 

[mecca]

Probably millions of years old.

billions*

Haha I agree, I always wonder if the other planets in our solar system were failed earths. I don't know much about that kind of stuff....but it is fun to think about after you smoked a fatty!

lmao

lol @ lmao

That's an interesting thought, also kinda morbid.

"Billions and billions," notoriously said the establishment Carl Sagan, in his PBS documentary, "Cosmos," which I watched years ago, and which expression entered the public lexicon. Interestingly enough, in that documentary he nodded to neither Christians nor Muslims, but rather to ancient Indians, the Hindus, as those with what he considered the most advanced cosmogony. With their measured divisions of Time into practically immemorial kalpas and yugas, the so called "days and nights of Brahma," Sagan said, as I recall, the Indians came closest to modern evolutionary theorists in estimating, or dating, the Earth and its cosmos.

With that said, I am only recollecting and reporting upon something I saw, not necessarily endorsing either establishment science documentaries or Hinduism, if it need be said .

It's good to fully digest the evidence for young and old universe models. To know the reasons why you believe as you do is very worthwhile.

It is also worth considering which side employs the techniques of the MSM to gain public approval....

I never finished school, don't know much about science. That video would probably bore me to death lol.

It was really good actually, but perhaps for a time when the question interests you.

If you think about it, they all must have had purpose at sole point in time. It makes no sense to have these huge planets orbiting around the sun like Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus. I kinda know a little about past cultures and tribes that worshipped some of the planets, but the question is why? Btw I only think this deep when I'm baked haha.They don't exists just to be big globes of nothing bc I believe everything in our solar system/universe has a purpose whether past or present.

Ha you might be on to something. I will try and watch it maybe tonight. I gotta be in the right frame of mind for deep stuff. Might not be considered the right frame of mind for others lol.

Some people find anything deep fills them with anxiety. It is almost like the more you know, the sadder you will feel! In my experience as a Christian, the more I learn, the deeper I go, the more my spirit is filled with a joy I cannot easily communicate.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your journey, whenever you decide to set out.

I might watch it again, @ILLUMINATI Hunter ;-)

the things i know are hard to believe but you need i open mind

I find evolution hard to believe! If you have ever studied biochemistry and looked at protein folding, I would be for giving up on evolutionary theory as a non-starter based on the virtual impossibility of a single workable protein, never mind a "simple cell" happening on its own...

If you think about it, they all must have had purpose at sole point in time.

Why?

It makes no sense to have these huge planets orbiting around the sun like Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus.

The theory is that the planets as we know them are the surviving objects; that there were likely more in the past, but they were eventually eliminated by counter-orbit collisions, or falling out of orbit to drift off, or found themselves sucked into the sun. That's why all these planets orbit the sun in more or less one direction. Here's a neat little video I've used before explaining how orbit works in relation to gravity.

. I kinda know a little about past cultures and tribes that worshipped some of the planets, but the question is why?

Because they were visible to them, and typically the brightest objects in the sky. What's more, as they're planets far closer to us than other stars, they don't always synchronize with the 'rotation' of the other stars in our nights sky.

which makes them stand out in significant ways to anyone watching the heavens very closely. Here's a nice little article explaining that 'retrograde motion'.
For an ancient culture with no media and zero light pollution, the star-filled night sky would be the most beautiful, dramatic, and seemingly significant sight available, and thus the study of the night-sky is a constant theme in ancient civilizations. These bright objects that defy the movements of their fellow stars, I.E the other planets in our solar system, often became the 'main characters' in the stories told about the starscape, as they're the most unique of lights in the sky.

They don't exists just to be big globes of nothing bc I believe everything in our solar system/universe has a purpose whether past or present.

It's a big, big, BIG universe for everything in it to have a purpose.

"It's a big, big, BIG universe for everything in it to have a purpose."

It would take a big, BIG God to give it one!



P.s. Sorry I have been a Christian too long not to try a corny cheap shot with you ;-)

Since we are on the topic of evolution here as well, look what I photographed in Cambodia during August, this temple was built in 900

An interesting rabbit hole on "dragons"...



Depiction of dragons in the brass relief work in Carlisle Castle, England. The castle is a Cathedral built in 1122 A.D. (My parents visited here and photographed the same part of the brass relief shown above).

Truth and myth are sometimes like fire and smoke - you often get the two mixed together...
