Even before the earth, we still didn't exist. It sounds like poetic liberty for "a mind blowing amount of time". Sure, but I think at the time "millions of years" was a mind-blowing amount of time - actually it still is - and it would appear the comment doesn't have any known source. So although I'd be happily proved wrong on this, it just feels a bit anachronistic for Samuel Clemens. Maybe just my personal bias. >> Samuel Clemens? Was is not Mark Twain? I missed a post perhaps. Mark Twain was the pen name of the author Samuel Clemens - so one and the same. Do someone know the estimate of the age of the universe at the time of Mark Twain? Einstein though it was infinite, and I thought that many physicists (including believer in Big Bang(s)) don't exclude that. Didn't most people still subscribe to that English or Scottish Bishops calculation based on bible verse that concluded the earth and the universe was some 6000 or so years ago in 4400 BC? There are far too many, in this country at least - who still do believe in this fairy tale.
