Everything you believe about the history of the world is False

All your hand waving just shows your lack of a hand in the cards you were dealt: and that is, no evidence whatsoever.

Once again prove we can not, tell us why we couldn't.
I have provided links saying we can..you have produced bugger all.

Oh and please stop trying to divert my questions by talking BS stuff like my avatar gives of bad energy, how can a picture on a computer give bad energy...you are talking bollocks.

In fact don't bother I will just leave you to your delusions.
redoubt had the right idea.

So how long would you say it takes for this life that exists around you, to arise in the first place?

Depends...if you are talking new species of very advance life then most likely a few million years. If you are talking physical traits within the same species then much quicker.

The simpler the life form the quicker though.

Mammals in general were very limited earlier than 60 million years ago, so what you see as mammals are the result of 50 to 60 million years of evolution. Primates, the order we come from started about 50 million years ago with our ancestors are rather late in the ball game with about 2 million years ago. With what we would call homo sapiens (us) at about 150k to 200k years ago, and modern man about 6000 to 15,000 years ago.

So maybe if you narrow your question some?

Now you're just tiring, like having a little pesky gnat buzzing around your head. Until you can build a Pyramid, you have nothing. Hell, pyramids are the most common structures around the world, including North America. they didn't have such wealth that we do today to build these things did they?

And how long did it take for advanced life forms to arise in each new period?

CircleofDust -

I would just like to add that your message of humanity's possible history; various ages long gone, may not be wrong. I know I am not smart enough to rule any of it out.

But I would suggest offering it without first seeking to tear down the beliefs of others in the process. It would be far more readable and offer a greater chance of dialogue if there wasn't that backhanded slap that opened it.

We can build skyscrapers and dams and suspension bridges and airplanes and spaceships and lego cities and giant container ships etc etc, so why would we need to build a pyramid. We could build a pyramid, if we were so inclined, but for what purpose? why do we need to build pyramids nowadays? Our focus has changed, but our ability to construct them has not...

I can agree with that line of reasoning. It's just that sometimes people need a big slap upside the head. Most people are asleep, zombies since birth. If I have a failing in my method, but causes someone to wake up, then I'll take it for now and hopefully can learn another better way in the future.

Yes, we have lost our way and can only produce facsimiles of greatness today. Will anything of our modern age survive a cataclysm?

Plastic, metal, roads, earth disturbances, many things, depending on the cataclysm. You see facsimiles, I see technological advancements that are far superior to anything our ancestors had.

Almost sounds like you are using a scale to measure our civilization. I prefer this scale. Otherwise as far as the history of things, we are only taught what others want us to believe. So the ones in power get to write our history and in many cases it is extremely hard to find out how things actually went down.

The only thing that survives is rock. So there will be absolutely no evidence whatsoever of all our 'greatness'.

Fascinating, thanks for the new info (to me).

You are assuming that life has some kind of reset back to the microbe stage I guess and I think the last time that happen was 650 million years ago...so I do not understand your question...

Mammals flourished after the dinosaurs stop being the top of the food chain 65 million years ago from the K-T event, but they been around for 200 million years.

As for humans, our primate past started about 50 million years ago.

I disagree the lunar landers will be around for billions of years...

They'd have to be there first. Stanley Kubrick admitted in his movie Shining that he filmed it all for Nasa. Another big failure for modern man.

Give us a giant hole in the ground.
Rock doesn't survive, it can get eroded, subducted, reconsumed.
I guess we're stuffed then....

so ..

what you're saying is ..

reply to post by Xtrozero


But you still have no evidence from one life to another. That's pretty odd, wouldn't you say? And how exactly does life arise from nonlife? Is it mutation?
