Likelyhood
of Existence
The likelyhood of everything
around us being present today can be best describe by evolution professor
Dr. Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard University.
He describes that bioevolution is a copiously branching bush that originated
by an improbable accumulation of accidental contingencies.
Evolution professor Dr. Bruce Firstman of Cal
Poly Pomona states that the, "probability
of the existence of your individual, unique genome is about one over a
googolplex." A googoplex can be describe by this mathematical equation: .
Calculators that exist today would come out with an error of undefine or
overflow since the number is so huge for it to computate.
The scientific community believes
that the universe lies at an age of 13 billion years from the beginning
of the big bang theory. Also it is accepted that our sun lies at
an age of 6 billion years, the earth at 5 billion, and the biosphere at
4.5 billion. The first prokaryotes are estimated to exist roughly 3.7 billion
years and the eukaryotes at 1.8 billion years. It has been estimated
that our sun is in its half life and has another 5 or so billion years
before it uses all of its hydrogen gas. It will eventually expand
it size so great that planets including the earth would be engulfed.
Between now and the point in time when that event comes, we must learn
to sustain the biosphere to the maximum. We humans have only been
here for a short period of time compared to the age of the earth.
We must attempt vigorously to sustain the environment in each and every
aspect, for it's the only place we have to live now.
