	"Weird or Not"? Author :Chang Kai-Chi Comparison between the history of the earth and the history of mankind According to scientists, the history of the earth has been about 4.57 billion years; humans appeared about seven million years ago; let's take a look at data from internet: The history of the earth If the history of the world's 4.5 billion years is condensed into twenty-four hours, the following is an important chronicle: At 0 o'clock in midnight: the earth was born, gravity attracted the comet near the orbit and continued to increase. The surface was full of high temperature magma. At 0:16 in the morning: the earth's magnetic field was formed, the earth was hit by another celestial body, and the moon was divided. In this collision, the earth's rotation axis deviates from the vertical line of the ecliptic plane, only six hours a day. 0:30 am to 0:45 am: The surface of the earth cooled, forming a crust and the size of the comet hit the earth from time to time. 0:50 am: The earth had the first evidence of water and ocean formation. The source of water was probably the gift left by the comet hitting the earth. 3:30 am to 3:45 am: The stellar rain of the comet slowly but continued. 4 am: the earliest signs of life, single-cell life existed in the depths of the ocean. At 5 o'clock in the morning: the stellar rain stops. Single-cell life continued to multiply and differentiate on the surface and in the ocean. At 5:20 in the morning: the photosynthesis single cell life appeared. The oxygen content in the ocean increased and iron oxide precipitation began to form. 1 pm: Photosynthesis single-cell life was multiplied in the ocean  and the oxygen content in the atmosphere began to increase and carbon dioxide decreased. 9 pm: The oxygen content in the atmosphere was stable at 21% and the ozone layer was formed. 9:06 pm: Multi-cell life first appeared. Plants began to appear, insects, fish,etc. All appeared one after another. 10:50 pm: reptiles and dinosaurs began to dominate the earth. 11:40 pm: the dinosaurs were extinct and the earliest primates appeared. 11:59:30 pm: the earliest human were born. 11:59:58, 9:00 pm: the human history began with written records. 11:59:59, 97 seconds at night: the industrial revolution began. ------------------------------------------------- According to this analogy, I believe that it is easy for everyone to understand how long the human appearance is in the long river of the whole earth history! Then, in the long period of 5.465 billion years before the emergence of mankind; There were meteorite rain, volcanic eruption, depression of the earth's crust, collision of plate drifts, earthquake and tsunami attack, sharp rise temperature of weather, and a variety of "great disasters". They are thousands of times larger than the current ones, or even extremely devastating. Since earth is still an active planet, the life of the earth can happen before it can evolve. Before the emergence of mankind, there was no “disaster” for mankind. Alike in the solar system, many other planets or satellites are still in active activity to date but they would be classified as "disaster" from the universe point of view? Because the intellectual creatures that have evolved like humans but never been found on those planets, the term "disaster" is human invention and subjectively defined. Such as a hot spring formed by volcanic activities--will we treat it as disaster? Same principles apply a disaster caused by the extremely earthquake and crust?  And the rhythm of the wind makes people feel relaxing but we classify it as disaster? ------Whether other planets and satellites are more violent than the earth, super volcanic eruptions, lava flows or super strong storms, should they all belong to disasters? So why is the higher scale of earthquake, the severe volcanic eruption , and the huge storm should make us think it is a disaster? Mainly is they relate to the safety of our own life and property; So, before the emergence of mankind or on other planets without human, the tornado, volcano and other intense activities more severe than the Earth, and the relatively gentle airflow, crustal activity of the Earth, etc.  All of these have anything to do with human are good or evil? Could we claim that the typhoon, flood, earthquake, tsunami that caused great damage to life and property is related to humanity's good and evil, all because human’s killing and no devout faith? Again, human only appeared for a short period of 7 million years. Then what happened to the same typhoon, flood, earthquake, and tsunami that occurred in the previously long period of 5.465 billion years before the humans appeared. What caused it? Was it also caused by "human beings"? Or other creatures caused them before the appearance of life? Are those illusions that are untrue? Before the advent of mankind, before humans understood "doing evil" and without devout faith, has there ever been a typhoon, flood, earthquake, or tsunami? ----------------------------------------------- It is hard to imagine why such a simple fact still is invisible for many human beings who claim to be the spirit of all things. There is absolutely no reflecting thinking ability at all. In Taiwan, where education is so popular, there are still so many people who lack such natural knowledge. ? ? The ignorance of a single individual cannot be said to be "detestable". At most, it is sad as ridiculous. However, a person who continues to be ignorant for a long time is completely unconscious. In Taiwan, some people start to make big money or get famous then become arrogant and self-satisfied.  Then they become mentor and try to educate public. A religious leader can live for decades but no "spiritual quality" at all. Is that very strange? As a result of my original intention, I have been slamming against the ignorance of "the typhoon can be reduced via good deed", "the chanting can stop the flood", and "no killing can eliminate the earthquake and tsunami disaster" and so on. I feel surprised about those stupid assertions under such contemporary world. 「奇怪」？「不奇怪」？ 作者:張開基 翻譯員:北展昭 地球的歷史與人類的歷史比較 據科學家的研究，地球的歷史已經有四十五億七千萬年左右；而人類大約出現在七百萬年前；我們先來看看這份網路資料的比擬： ----------------------------------------------------------- 地球的歷史（資料取材自網路） 如果把地球四十五億年的歷史濃縮成二十四小時，以下是重要的紀事表： 午夜0時：地球誕生，重力吸引軌道附近的隕星持續成長，地表是高溫岩漿。 淩晨0時16分：地球磁場形成，地球遭另一天體撞擊，分出月球，在這次撞擊中，地球自轉軸偏離黃道面垂直線，一天只有六小時。 淩晨0時30分至0時45分：地球表面冷卻，形成地殼，大小隕星不時撞擊地球。 淩晨0時50分：地球最早有水及海洋形成的證據，水的來源很可能是慧星撞擊地球所留下的禮物。 淩晨3時30分至3時45分：隕星雨漸緩但持續。 淩晨4時：最早的生命跡象，單細胞生命存在地層海洋深處。 淩晨5時：隕星雨停止，單細胞生命在地表及海洋繼續繁殖分化。 淩晨5時20分：光合作用單細胞生命出現，海洋中氧含量增高，氧化鐵沉澱開始形成。 下午1時：光合作用單細胞生命大量繁殖於海洋中，大氣中氧含量開始增高，二氧化碳減少。 晚上9時：大氣中氧含量穩定於百分之二十一，臭氧層形成。 晚上9時6分：多細胞生命首先出現，植物開始出現，昆蟲，魚，相繼出現。 晚上10時50分：爬蟲類，及恐龍開始主掌地球。 晚上11時40分：恐龍絕種，最早的靈長目動物出現。 晚上11時59分30秒：最早的人類誕生。 晚上11時59分58，9秒：有文字記載的人類歷史開始。 晚上11時59分59，97秒：工業革命開始。 ------------------------------------------------- 根據這樣的比擬方式，相信大家很容易就能了解在整個地球歷史的長河之中，人類的出現是多麼的「晚近」！ 那麼，在人類出現之前那45億6千300萬年漫長的歲月之中；不也是隕石雨、火山爆發、地殼隆起下陷、板塊漂移互相撞擊、地震海嘯侵襲、氣溫急劇升降、種種「巨大災難」不斷，而且都是比當下規模更大上千百倍，甚至是極具毀滅性的嗎？ 理由無他，因為地球仍是一個還在繼續活動的星球，也正因為地球尚在活動，地球的生命才得以發生，才得以進化，在人類出現之前，是沒有所謂災難的，就如同太陽系中其他行星或者衛星上，也有不少是迄今仍在劇烈活動中的，但是，有沒有「災難」呢？肯定沒有！ 因為在那些星球上至少迄今尚未發現有和人類一樣進化的智性生物存在，所以「災難」一詞和觀念是人類發明和主觀界定的，同屬火山活動形成的溫泉，我們會認為是災難嗎？同屬地殼變動造成的極輕微地震，我們會認為是災難嗎？徐徐的和風吹拂讓人心曠神怡的感覺，我們會認為是災難嗎？------其他行星和衛星上比地球更劇烈的超級火山爆發、熔岩四流或超級強烈風暴，我們會認為是災難嗎？ 當然都不會！那麼為什麼地震大一點，火山爆發嚴重一些，風暴巨大一些，我們就會認為是災難呢？因為關係到我們自身生命財產的安全之故； 所以，在人類出現之前或當下其他行星和衛星上比地球更劇烈的氣流、火山等活動，以及地球當下比較溫和的氣流、地殼活動，和人類的善惡心行有沒有關係呢？ 如果要說造成巨大生命財產損害的風災、水災、地震、海嘯是和人類的心性善惡甚至有沒有吃齋唸佛，有沒有虔誠信仰是有關的； 再說一次；人類的出現不過短短的700萬年而已，那麼地球在人類還未出現之前那45億6千300萬年漫長的歲月之中所發生過同樣的風災、水災、地震、海嘯又是什麼原因造成的呢？也是「人類」造成的嗎？或者其他生物造成的，那麼沒有生命出現之前的，又是什麼原因造成的呢？ 難道那些都是不實的幻想，在人類出現之前，在人類懂得「作惡」又沒有虔誠信仰之前，是從來沒有發生過風災、水災、地震、海嘯嗎？ ----------------------------------------------- 很難想像為什麼這樣簡單的事實，卻還是有很多自稱萬物之靈的人類會看不清楚，完全沒有絲毫思辨能力；在教育如此普及的台灣，還是有這麼多人竟然如此缺乏自然知識？？？ 單一個人的無知，不能說「可惡」，頂多是可悲和可笑，但是，一個人長期持續的無知，然後完全不自覺，以為有錢或成名之後就能胡說八道，信口開河，長年被一群歌功頌德的狗腿馬屁精的有心人包圍中，竟因此躊躇滿志，顧盼自得的「自大、自滿、自傲」；甚而又好為人師的；妄想教導社會大眾，那就不只是可悲而已了，而是非常的「可惡」！一個宗教領導者可以數十年如一日的絲毫不知長進，完全沒有「質變」，那是非常奇怪的？而我一本初衷，十多年來持續不斷的針對「行善可以減少颱風侵襲」、「唸經可以擋洪水」、「吃齋唸佛可以消彌地震海嘯災害」等等這樣的無知謬見加以抨擊，立場也從來沒有「變質」，這個倒是一點也不奇怪！
