How old is this planet ?

I don't see where the bible offers any date for the creation of man. It appears that certain biblical statements from such chapters as Genesis 5 that we might be talking 4,000 to 15,000 B.C. rather than 1,000,000 B.C. or more. But there is no plain statement in the scriptures on this point. One could debate rather the time spans in question here are "this age of man" or "total history of man-like creatures". This depends on whether one assumes that man has reached his peak of civilization today in 2006 or not, among other things.

the hokey pokey.. what if that really IS what it's all about ??

so here we are, all pondering life's great mysteries.. if you ask me, our existence on this rock is merely a blink of an eye.. whether it be our individual existence, or 'mankind' in general.. amazing we've come so far. And all the things "WE'RE" going to miss.. like teleportation..

Quantum information teleported from light to matter

LONDON (Reuters) - Beaming people in Star Trek fashion is still in the realms of science fiction but physicists in Denmark have teleported information from light to matter bringing quantum communication and computing closer to reality.

Until now scientists have teleported similar objects such as light or single atoms over short distances from one spot to another in a split second.

But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.

"It is one step further because for the first time it involves teleportation between light and matter, two different objects. One is the carrier of information and the other one is the storage medium," Polzik explained in an interview on Wednesday.

After doing some studies on animal population the bell curve would seem
to come in to play. That is to say that after a peak population that 90%
of the population would die off and 10% would be left to start the cycle
again. Now for those of us that belive in God and that He will stop the
cycle before it gets to the event horizon all is good. Now if we take the
other side then sickness and war should slow down this event but not
stop it. The world population is not in decline and most of the cards are
on the table. Will energy and food be able to keep up with the amount
of people on the planet maybe some one has some input on this question.
Thanks for your input GEO or is that NEO ?
