Is it a gigantic safe deposit bank in Beverly Hills under somebody else’s name?
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that their ignorant, it’s that they know so much that isn’t so.
Hmm--I thought it was John Stewart

Gosh! I thought science was settled. Silly me.
I cannot take seriously an article that uses the words “blinged out”.

The article indicates that this much gold being created by chance is highly unlikely. Does this indicate that the universe was not created completely out of randomness?///
Shhhh, shush,,you might scare the post modernist human secularist Darwin worshipping cult into trauma ,,,and we don’t have enough comfort crayons and puppies for ALL of them, nor the (safe) space.

Or... they are fundamentally wrong about how the Universe operates and it is FAR older than they are assuming.
Quantum mechanics explains all. It explains chemistry, geology, cosmology, . . etc . .
Did they ever find all that Aztec Gold sent, in the 1930s, from Spain to Russia for safe keeping so it would not fall into the hands of Franco?
I remember 1960, when Scrooge McDuck found a small solid gold asteroid hiding behind our moon, and set out to get it!
I remember a sci-fi comic book where a poor, down-on-his-luck guy gets a hold of a liquid that causes whoever takes it to fall into a long-lasting deep sleep and acts as a preservative. He takes it and wakes up after 50 years. The small amount he deposited in his bank has made a tidy sum.
He re-invests it into a long-term account and takes a larger drink of the liquid. He wakes up after 100 years and he is rich beyond his wildest dreams. After living a life of luxury for a couple weeks, he decides that he wants to be richer than everyone. So, he buys all the gold in the world at the time and takes the last bit of the liquid, thinking he will be insanely rich when he awakens. He takes the liquid....
After he wakes up 100 years later, he finds everything is made of gold. Kids riding anti-gravity bikes made of gold. Buildings made of gold. EVERYTHING made of gold. He gets angry, wondering why people are using HIS gold. He finds out from a bystander that 20 years earlier, the Earth flew through a comet’s tail that turned all the metal in the world into gold.
Because of this, he was worth absolutely nothing.
That'll teach him to try to get rich through the time value of money! /sarc
He made separate bequests of 1,000 pounds -- the equivalent of roughly $100,000 in 2008 dollars -- to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia... In Philadelphia, the bulk of the public portion of the trust distribution went to the Franklin Institute, a center for scientific and technical education founded in 1824. By 1906 hundreds of students were taking programs in virtually every cutting-edge technical field of the age, consulting a 107,000-volume library. And the legacy continues: Today, the institute's museum is one of the city's most popular public venues.
During the next century, the two institutes created by the funds grew and prospered, improving the quality of life of generations of young people. In addition, the scope of the trusts was expanded to include a broad range of loans for academic studies or technical advancement. From 1962 to 1976, loans totaling $3,476,000, went to 1,749 young people who, at the time of receiving help, were mostly living at "bare subsistence level." Applicants could get up to $7,000.
Franklin's glorious 200-year experiment in microlending came to an official end in 1990, by which time the compounded value of the funds was $4.5 million in Boston and $2 million in Philadelphia. Ultimately, the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology in Boston received the money.Ben Franklin's Gift that Keeps on Giving | Stephan A. Schwartz
