•The early stages from birth to 200 million years ago (the dinosaurs) are like the first three months of a pregnancy. It takes a while to develop, but once it does, the fetus/earth is healthy.<br>•From 200 million to 65 million years ago (the end of the dinosaurs) is like the next three months. All the organs are fully grown, and the baby/earth looks like a real baby. You can be excited about your future baby/earth.<br>•From 65 million years ago to 200,000 years ago (the beginning of humans), you start to feel the baby kicking (volcanic eruptions causing mass extinctions, cooling or warming of the earth), but you're still excited to see the baby.<br>•From 200,000 years ago to 100,000 years ago, you start to feel a lot of pain and cramping, like your insides are being turned upside down (humans migrating out of Africa, early wars and slavery, human sacrifice, etc.). You start to wonder if the baby is a demon baby.<br>•From 100,000 years ago to 70,000 years ago, you're in so much pain and the cramps are so intense that you can't push the baby out (war after war after war, the black plague, the killing of 90% of Native Americans, two atomic bombs, etc). You ask yourself "what sin did I do to deserve this demon baby" and you're just waiting until the 40 weeks are over, not really caring about the health of the baby.<br>•But the 40 weeks are over, and the baby is still inside you. You're just in too much agony to care if the baby comes out dead or alive at this point. It has been said that between 150 billion and 7.68 trillion people have ever lived. Right now there are 7.9 billion. You know it's almost over, but you're in so much pain to care that this baby is about to be born.
