The science teacher just told her class that the sun will burn out in five billion years and that will be the end of Earth and all the planets. A kid in the back is jumping up and down with his hand raised so the teacher calls on him. He says “how many years?” Teacher: I said five BILLION. The kid wipes his forehead and says, “on, thank God, I thought you said five million!!”
lol
As children we were told the earth would last for eternity. Somehow that was comforting - in spite of the fact that we were also told we would all die sooner or later;)
Faith is a funny thing.
