66 million years, proved. @Stopspot in school i learned the Earth was about 4k, which is laughable, i just have so much trouble believing the Earth itself is 66 million years old, then not believing in life outside of our planet. So many interesting ideas/probabilities.
Kind of makes you put things into perspective though. A 9 mile asteroid randomly hit earth and created a dust cloud big enough to block the sun. Who's to say something like that won't happen any time soon?
It will happen again, but maybe not for a few million years, which in the history of time is not much. Can it happen in our lifetime? Possibly, but I doubt it.
