Original Message I'm curious as to when we as conscious beings on this planet start counting time and dates. When did we actually decided it was a certain date and a certain time? I tried to Google, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I just get a bunch of definitions of what A.D and B.C stand for, but it's not what I'm looking for. Some humans claim the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, but how can they even make such a claim when we don't even know when the first date and time was recorded.

My theory on time is that it was created so we can organize our lives around a system. I just hate to see when archaeologist claim something is millions of years old, but we don't even know when we started counting the days and years.

People will tell me it was when Jesus Christ was born, but I'm pretty sure there were humans before that, so we basically just don't know this answer.

Isn't it funny how we give ourselves comfort with the bullshit these scientist and archaeologist come up with? Just like we have 4,200+ different religions and various philosophies that try to explain existence, but we clearly don't know.
