EvilSuggestions writes "Apparently, the estimate for how long it took for the Earth to form just got chopped in half. Now just a paltry 30 million years (which, IIRC, is less than one day on Carl Sagan's 1 year = the life of the universe calendar). So, adjust your terraforming plans appropriately. The good folks over at Science News have been following the gory details behind this conclusion."

    This just in. Another stupid theory regarding evolution. Yeah those scientists won't have to follow biblical law now; they have another theory to approve of evolution. Even know all they did was contradicted themselves, they have to keep evolution moving along somehow.

    Scientist: "Oh. I know! Let's cut the time in half for a change. That'll keep people busy thinking for a while."
