If
the Creation of the Universe through the Big Bang was 13.8 billion years ago,
and if our human life span at maximum last for 100 years, then our
lifespan last only 7.3 x 10 -9 (0.0,000,000,073) of
this, and only 2.2 x 10 -8 (0.000,000,022) of a fraction
compared the creation of Earth at 4.543 billion years.
Another
way of putting this is, if the age of the Universe at 13.8 billion
years was just one day of Creation, then 100 years of our lives lasts for
just 0.23 second.
(1
Solar year = 31,557,600 seconds)
But
if the age of Earth at 4.543 billion years was just one day in
Creation, then 100 years of our lives last for just 0.7 second
Suppose
we can live up to 1,000 years to beat even the record of Methuselah who
was the son of Enoch, the father of Lamech, and the grandfather of Noah.
He was the oldest man ever lived in the Bible who died at the age of 969 years.
Then
Methuselah and our life if lasted for 1,000 years is just 7.2 x 10 -8 (0.000,000,072)
of a fraction of the age of heavens since it was created, or 2.2 x 10 -7 (0.00,000,022)
of a fraction, compared to the age of the Earth.
Alternatively,
1,000 years of our age as for Methuselah, lasted only 2.3 seconds if heavens
were just a day (24 hours), or for only 7 seconds compared to the age of the
Earth at 4.543 billion years old.
Suppose
God created everything from heavens to earth, including morning and evening on
the sixth day as given in Genesis 1:32. This is equivalent to 518,400 seconds
(0.0164 year) for the entire creation on the 6th day assuming
the length of a day during creation is the same as our current day and not
shorter.
For
instance, a day was 21.9 hours long some 620 million years ago due to the
gravitational influence of the Moon on tides that slowed down the rotation of
the Earth due to tidal frictions over the oceans and on land causing it to lose
rotational energy.
In
such an event 13.8 billion years to us for creation was just 6 days for God.
Simply
put, what was just one second in the eyes of God, would be 13.8 x 10 9 years
/ 0.0164 year = 4.35 x 10 17 / 518,400 seconds = 8.4 x
10 11 (840,000,000,000) years for us.
Allow
me now to quote what God revealed to us:
“But,
beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8)
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night
(Psalm 90:4)
“You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away”
(James 4:14)
“The
way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life
is but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That
struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And
then is heard no more. It is a tale,
Told
by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying
nothing
(William
Shakespeare in Macbeth)
“Life
is a dream interpreted by death
Your life is a sum of counted breaths.
With each breath that passes
a part of life is lost.
That which gives life brings death every moment nearer,
and your caravan is led by one
who will not jest with you.”
(Classical Arabic, Persian, Turkish & Hebrew Poems)
“I
have no time in the world but the time in which I am
and that lasts a moment and passes like a cloud.”
(Hebrew Poems)
Does the above quotes ring the bell for us to understand and always remember?
It
is always much wealthier for us to enrich our immortal souls in wisdom for
eternity than gathering short-term wealth and any kind of knowledge in this
temporary world.
There
is a way to nourish to enrich our souls and keep it in good spiritual health
daily forever if we are interested?
Unfortunately,
most of us are spiritually blind and not interested.
Most
are only interested in keeping short-term physical health through good
nutrition, food supplements, exercise, jogging, meditation, stress management
for "longevity" for 100 years, but are not interested in the welfare,
nourishment and enrichment their eternal spiritual souls.
I am ignorant and blind to worldly nutrition and medicines for health and longetivty here in this world.
What about you?
