I used 10,000,000 since it is a nice round number. Since we cannot, with any

could at least agree that 10,000,000 years ago the earth had some
resemblence to what we have now.

Its obvious I am not doign a very good job tryign to explain how I feel
about it (or, you are extremely dense, but I will give you the benefit of
the doubt).  I am still waiting to hear about these thermonmeters we had
thousands of years ago.
