Life Cycle of a Planet

1) What elements were available when each of the planets and the Sun came together? Around 75% hydrogen, around 22% helium, and the last 3% is every other known element! 2) How old are the planets? Around 4.54 billion years. 3) How long ago was the moon created? The best guess is around 4.5 billion years ago. 4) When did carbon-based life first originate? Around 3.8 billion years ago. 5) When did our planet's plate tectonics begin? The best guess is between 3 and 4 billion years ago. Scientists have found evidence of at least 3.2 billion years ago, but the funny thing about plate tectonics is that, like writing on a chalkboard, the eraser is not far behind!  6) When did "carbon sequestration" first begin? The same day that any carbon-based life first died. Remember, there were no bacteria to digest any dead carbon-based life for a very long time. So, only when this material came into contact with a sufficiently high heat source to melt it back into its original components...

     Part of the reason is that when everyone on the planet wakes up every morning, what do they see? Pretty much exactly what they expect to see!  Even weather personalities are getting better at getting the weather fairly accurately. Scientists now can tell us what life was like for much of the time that carbon-based life has been on the planet, even down to how long ago life started, around 3,500,000,000 years ago (3.5 billion years). That is indeed a really fantastic ability, that took hundreds of years and thousands of scientists to put all of that information together!       Scientists have unveiled so many mysteries, that it seems that it will only be a matter of time before Earth's past will be fully understood! We now understand what causes, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and typhoons to develop, for eclipses to occur even hundreds of years into the future. Scientists can calculate if an asteroid will hit or miss Earth Years in...

   But everyone seems to want to see humanity as the cuprite, why? We were not even on the planet until perhaps a few hundred thousand years ago and unable to affect the planet's climate until we were forced to become an agricultural-based society only a little more than 10,000 years ago!          Why have we been teaching this to our children? Understandably, we can be seen as totally responsible for damages that can be put directly at our feet for pollution, loss of the protective Ozone layer, (yes we have learned from our mistakes) red tides, and even wars that destroy not just ourselves but parts of the Earth's environment as well!            But we can not be held responsible for the loss of so much of our planet's temperature-regulating abilities brought about by low carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere, which are directly caused by all carbon-based life on Earth! All of that happened millions of years pr...

     Why did I wait so long? Since all of the research has already been done by others, and it was so well documented that others would surely do exactly the same thing that I did, and with the scientific community behind them, why would they need my input! I was not trying to figure out Global Warming and Climate Change, I was just trying to find out why Earth was not around 3,500 years into another ice-age!       Back in grade school in a little two-room school house in Davey, Nebraska. One of the teachers was Mrs Florence Bone, I thought that she was the Smartest person in the world, and she was teaching about ice-ages! She was telling us that Earth would go into an ice-age and then out of an ice-age into what was called an inter-glacial period! She had graphs showing that while ice ages themselves keep getting longer and longer over the 2.5 million years that Earth had them, the inter-glacial period would remain at around 10,000 years long! However...

 Let's begin with, why that question is so universal and has caused so much hate, bigotry, and human suffering.  There are three main lines involved in this question. The personal, communal, and governmental or religious ideology can tie people together worldwide! The problem comes when competing ideologies create divisions and even hate. In some ways, the same can be said of political beliefs! Right now we are talking about WHY WE ARE HERE as a species, not as a religious, political, or physiological concept! Scientists see evolution or adaptation as random changes that allow future offspring a better chance of continuation! But how can that be? Any random change will never be able to influence anyone but their own offspring. Even if the random change is beneficial, it could never be passed on to a whole species even in ten thousand generations. and we are not talking about a single beneficial change, but thousands of necessary changes that were needed to happen in the 200,00...

It took almost 50 years for scientists to accept plate tectonics as fact with all of the evidence that is spread around the planet!!! Do you know one of the biggest reasons for such understanding to take place? Because the previous generation of scientists had to die off. Once something is learned, especially in a higher educational place of learning people have all invested their time, money, and the standing that they receive, which all convey prestige for the individuals involved!!! The same can be seen going back in time, from the washing of hands to rid a doctor of bacterial organisms before delivering a baby, to understanding evolution, only through time and the incoming of new generations of people in professional capacities, do new ideas become accepted!!! This interruption of new ways of seeing how life works has severe consequences for humanity! And right now with our lack of understanding of the causes behind Global Warming and Climate Change, we are going down a path that l...
