So Moses was alive 3 million years ago?
But I do get the point he was trying to make.
Whoa, can't believe no one noticed this, I even missed it the first time around. Photon, you're slipping!

It's not 13.8 trillion, it's 13.8 billion. You're a factor of 1000 off.

So those chaps who lived around 3000 years ago, 2500, years ago, etc. is about as right on the money as you can be with a scale like that. Neil's math is correct, yours is not...
