the age of the earth

[Nay_Sayer]

I'm in deep thought and I feel amazing!

It does feel amazing. Try it more often

Just a vanilla troll.  
FSM will smite it in time.
Trust in his noodles.

They say 4.5 bill years with a range of 50 million years, but how did they not get its exact age? And where did they come up with the number of 50 million? Do you believe scientists really know?

Well.

The Earth is not as old as the Sun and not as old as the univers we can see around us.

That still leaves a lot of room for the Earth to be waaaay older than any piddling HUman centric idea of 'Old'.



Not at work.

I think everyone's trolling ...
No one can be THAT stupid. Right?

I mean there are still schools in America, right?

Doubtful. Education was good for a short period long ago, but then capitalism ruined it.

I disagree.
America became great via true capitalism.
Capitalism is a victim here.
Whatever your country has become, it has poisoned capitalism.
The left would love nothing more than to blame "capitalism" on the state on America today.
The banksters just want you to be happy! (oh, have own nothing). America is one giant corporatocracy that's too big to fail.
It will be saved at the cost of its citizens.

Get ready for the mother of all crashes. (between now and 3 months).
The fed cannot stop it any more than they could have stopped the last 20.

Because when you measure the indicators that go back that far ther's going to be some uncertainty. Isotope decay and half-life aren't exact figures, because they describe random events. And tye 50mya is the 95% confidence gap, based on the statistical analysis of the lons of data collectef.

How old do you think our planet is?

I'm not no goddamn troll. I'm just here to inquire with you guys b/c I figured you would be intellectual types.

If you're not a troll then how did the goats fool you so easily, hah?

A lady never grows older than 21. My granny taught me that, and grannies never lie.

Capitalism by its nature is a self-defeating system. The seeds of its downfall are built right into it.

Yes it is somewhat unsustainable. But honest elections play a role as do economic corrections.
The ups and down are a healthy cycle. It's the fed intervention which is distorting financials and socials to new highs and lows which is very dangerous.
The Fed themselves couldn't care less if America collapses. They are the head of the corporatocracy. (or should I say cleptocracy?)

All we have to do is ask ourselves what has changed from the good old fashioned capitalist America.
Lots has changed. Free markets do not exist thanks to the Fed. Capitalism cannot function properly without free markets.
