    I knew someone who utterly refused to believe that dinosaurs weren’t the first organisms in existence. He literally thought it was dinosaurs, then there was an asteroid impact and then basically humans arrived about 10 minutes later.

    People have absolutely no understanding of the immense amount of time that has existed before we came along.

    Mind he also gave me that whole if earth was 1 cm closer to the sun, we would all burn up malarkey, so maybe he’s just an idiot.

      There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire Solar System.

      I wonder if they would ever understand this, or just think it’s a cool fact.
