I thought Polar Bear fur wasn't white, but 'clear' (prob not correct term)? He kept saying white. Or am I recalling another science show incorrectly?

Human species in millions / billions of years? I think the next mass extinction event / global ice age is going to wipe us out way before that. Like < 50,000 years?

What a bunch of morons, thinking it's only 6500 years old. :rolleyes: If it was 6500 years old, we couldn't see any farther. Here, let's go show how wrong they are by showing you how much further we can see."



Oddly enough, they were talking to Ronald Numbers on some NPR show earlier Sunday, and when he was in grad school he was in a class about carbon dating and had been a 'young earth creationist' up to that point due to his upbringing, and the professor told about some inwash of trees dug up somewhere, and it suddenly dawned on him that 'young earth' crap was total bullshit. So hopefully there are a couple of people watching Cosmos tonight who also may have that revelation.
