46 Years Old Earth

Our Earth is roughly 4.6 billion years old. This is easy to say but hard to imagine. Now lets say every 100 million years is equal to one year, then we have our 46 years old Earth.

We have no information on his first 7 years and our data are sketchy on his teen years. But we know that in 42 plant life started to appear. Up until last year (45 years of age) there were no sign of dinosaurs or giant reptiles. It was 8 months ago that Earth gave birth to mammals. Beginning of last week was the dawn of higher apes, and by the end of the week Earth was experiencing Ice Age.

Modern human is only 4 hours old and in last hour has invented farming. Industrial revolution is a minute young and...

This disease (human) has rapidly multiplied and now cover the globe, while his existence has extincted 500 species of animals.

And now imagine what great misfortune has been brought on this 46 year old in this minute or so. Humanity has created rubbish out of this heaven.

Congratulations to Man/Woman (Irony).
