Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg
Churilov" cultist was ejected from
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Greetings!
I have a question about L. Ron Hubbard's book "A History of Man." I
suspect that only current Scientologists would be able to help me with this
question but I'll toss it out for all the other experts, too, to see if they
might know.
The book starts out with Hubbard writing, "This is a cold-blooded and
factual account of your last sixty trillion years."
Since the age of the universe is something around 15 billion years, is it
possible that this is a type-o and that the editor of "A History of Man"
needs to fix it to read "million years" instead of "trillian years?"
I can't imagine that L. Ron Hubbard made such an obvious mistake in his
cosmology but one never knows.
Thanks!
Irmgard gave this response on 5/16/2000:
I do not know how old the universe is according to Hubbard, but that's
not so significant, because Hubbard traces history of man back further
than the existing material universe.
For him man, in his original state as thetan, has created this universe
(and some others too) - so his history is necessarily longer than that
of the universe.

Thanks! It's all rather interesting, isn't it? There are some rather
interesting parallels between Hubbard's cosmologies and Christian
Creationists.
