Genetic End

For those who happen to believe the world wasn't created logically, I apologize. Once for attacking you right there by saying your idea is illogical, and then again for assuming you believe what I want you to believe. Chances are if you are reading this blog, you have a bit of an attitude to you, and you certainly don't believe what I want you to believe, even though you should. So here I am, apologizing yet again, for what I am now about to say, mainly just to get your blood pumping. You're wrong, I'm right. Deal with it.

On that note, I would like to start today's post. A very long time ago, the world was created in a massive outwards expansion of our universe. In less than a second, our galaxy was the size of our current solar system. Stars were born, galaxies formed, planets took orbit around suns, moons took orbit around planets, and other bits and pieces simply began floating around in the vast nothingness that is space.

4.6 billion years ago, our planet was born. In a massively hot ball of melted rocks and metals, our planet began to take shape. Shortly after this, a large rock crashed into the extremely hot surface of our planet. This impact caused a massive deceleration in the impacting body, which began to orbit outside our planet, forming our Moon.

Roughly 4 billion years ago, tectonic movement begins to create land masses. The surface begins to cool, and we begin to see the shaping of what we recognize as Earth.

3.5 billion years ago, the first common ancestor of all life is born. It is a marine single celled organism which would later spread and give birth to all the future forms of life on our planet. As life spreads, photosynthesis begins to take place, providing the oxygen that is necessary for the life cycle.

1.3 billion years ago, the first super continent Rodinia is born. Life begins to exist on land, close to the oceans. Water cannot make it inland on the massive super continent, so most life is forced to stay close to the shoreline. At this point, most life was crustacean.

750 million years ago, Rodinia breaks apart, letting water get into the centre of the super continent. The first mass extinction follows, wiping out 99.9% of all life on the planet's surface.

250 million years ago, Pangaea is formed, and then breaks apart 66 million years ago. The dinosaurs are born, and die, in this time span, leaving only the avian reptiles which would later become birds, and small mammals to survive what was the fifth mass extinction in earth's history.

200,000 years ago, the branch of current humans known as Homo Sapiens came into existence.

1700 years ago, the first springs of Christianity began to appear. 1100 years ago, Christianity began to take on similar forms to how it exists in today's world.

900 years ago (roughty), the Crusades took place. Lots of people fought and died. The dark ages also took place a little before this, and slightly afterwards. Lots of people died. Lots more were sad.

A little under 100 years ago, the first World War took place. People fought so our great grandparents could live.

A little over fifty years ago, the second World War took place. People fought so our parents and grandparents could live.

Then, trillions of years after the creation of the universe, 110 billion humans later, we have reached this one point in human history. All those lives, all that creating of our planet, shaping of our galaxy and our solar system, all those countless individuals, be them human or not, that have been born and died to reach today lead to one thing; Me!

That's right, trillions of years after the beginning of everything, I was born. The universe went through everything for what reason? So that I could live! Bet you wish you were me right now, don't you. Well you're not. Deal with that also.
