Earth is approximately 5 billion years old - give or take some millions of years. The creation of the Earth was in tandem with many other massive formations. As we all generally know our solar system is an invisible spot in our galaxy, and our galaxy is but a small part of the universe. We fight over a piece of land. I am convinced God doesn't care about that particular piece of land much, given his current real estate.
That's not the central theme today, however. I came across a professor who makes his class take a calculator roll - about 5 meters - and draw up a time scale of the Earth's existence with respect to human existence - and with respect to the birth of the great prophets of the world. Guess what, in the scale of things, they are barely a pencil mark. That gave me such perspective.
Nuns are on the rise - and they have playlists and blogs too - who knew?
South Africa is the first country in Africa to legalize gay marriage - the thing about South Africa is that when they were racists, they were racists openly. When they decided to come out of the dark ages of inhumanity, they came out in full force. How many other countries can share this accolade?
Manchester United (the best team in the world) is number 1 in the Premiership!
My computer crashed last night at 12:30 AM as I was finishing up an exam for my class at 9:00 AM today - I couldn't disappoint the cherubs by postponing the exam, so I walked into the office at the crack of dawn to rewrite the exam again - 3 versions.

Supposedly about 6 billion years ago right? The BIG question is of course..... "how did it begin".
Your ponderings are always a great mind jabber, which reminds me why I always loved coming here.

Salamaat,
so much noise from (not a pencil mark) of a population.
it's always humbling to contemplate the largess of the universe (and infinitely more of the Creator).
Hot cuppa chocolate for you Daktoora and mad peaces of chocolate covered peace:)
Hmm... so if all else fails and I fall back on my plan to become a nun, I can still have my ipod and blog?? Doesn't seem too bad ;-)
You know Nazli, I have the strangest feeling that your cherubs would not have been disappointed at al if you had postponed the exam :)

Cristiana! Laughing so hard!! So funny! Exactly! Imagine showing up at a nunnery with an ipod and laptop in hand, ready to join the ranks.
Thanks for the laugh my gorgeous friend! Hope you are doing very well :-)

Mr Aangry - oh you know those cherubic cherubs! Oh the number of angels that heaven is missing because they are all in my class :-):-)
About my laptop- the hard drive is about to die - but I was able to salvage my music and pcitures and academic material (in no particular order of importance :-)) so thank goodness for small mercies.
Very nice to see you and I will be popping by shortly (after class that is)to see your blog Down Under.
Nazli
