I know there are a few smart people in TAN and others are dumb enough to be brilliant, so I will post the question here and see what people come up.
Is there any way to determine how many people have ever lived on Earth? From the 1st person until now.
I said there is no way to tell how many people there have ever been in the world. That would also depend on if you go by the religious time line of man or the "real" one you are referring to Adam and Eve? Yes the answer would depend on if you are counting from Adam and Eve or not.
well I think that would be a lot easier than trying to determine when something evolved into a human right? Easier yes but way more inaccurate. Actually it would be flat out incorrect. WHY? Because as I understand it the timeline from Adam and Eve is way shorter than the span of human existence. So you do not believe that Adam and Eve were the first people... |

I thought I was doing good until the computer spit out a picture and a set of crayons for me. tcarlson78 - 2012-10-29 12:18 PM Hey everyone! Other than the same same in TAN how is it going? Im just finally getting caught up with everything @ home and work = more TAN time but not much today. I have to prep to warp young minds tonight. Why don't tests grade them selves? Some do. The ones I have taken online were only quizzes but they graded themselves. If you make them all take the test on the computer then it will just spit out a grade, problem solved. |

Hmmmm, That can only mean they are not telling you something!!! Shoot anywhere has to be economically better than CA. The ecenomical side of it doesn't affect me as much (the military compensates for that) but there are a lot that I like about the south. Probably because I have spent a lot of time there and then there is the whole flying thing that helps make it good. |
