::::In addition to Jcw's insightful observation, note that the "2 billion year" figure is just a way of saying 1/6th the age of the universe. It doesn't mean anything more than that. A careful, objective scientist would express time in the distant past as a fraction of the universe's age, rather than speculating about the number of years.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:23, 26 August 2011 (EDT) | ::::In addition to Jcw's insightful observation, note that the "2 billion year" figure is just a way of saying 1/6th the age of the universe.
