This work itself has been lost and only fragments of it exist in the citations of others. One such scholar who knew and spoke of it was Julius Africanus, who wrote about AD 221. In speaking of Jesus’ crucifixion and the darkness that covered the land during this event, Africanus found a reference in the writings of Thallus that dealt with this cosmic report. Africanus asserts: 'On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.'"1
You are a broken record.
NOBODY, not Christians, not Jews, not Buddhists, not Hindus, NOBODY, back then had any modern science. Nobody back then knew the age of the universe. Nobody back then knew the age of the planet. Nobody back then knew earth had 5 mass extinction events. Nobody back then knew what protons/neutrons/electrons were. Nobody back then knew what pulsar or black hole was. NOBODY.
And again, YOU are not the only religion with followers that try to retrofit modern science to prop up old mythology.
