- didnt the earth "begin" 14.6 billion years ago? either im getting the wrong info, or DID it "begin" earlier??(2 votes)
- You are getting wrong info. Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, the UNIVERSE began not 14.6 billion years ago, but 13.8 billion years ago. Before the big bang there was nothing, absolutely nothing, no stars, no rocks, no sun, no galaxy, no elements, no chemicals, and no earth. Therefore it would be impossible for Earth to have been created before.(1 vote)
- What if there are Parallel universes, but we are lucky in this one that everything was just right for eventual Human life.(1 vote)
