I usually don't want to comment on things like this, but I couldn't
resist, but...  He probably thinks Earth has only be in existence for a

"There are philosophers who have given their mind to the phenomenon of
disregard of laws and have sought out its causes.  Much more surprising,
however, is the opposite phenomenon of respect for laws and deference to
authority.  History never lacks instances to show us of vast masses of
men submitting to a yoke which is hateful to them, and lending unanimous
and willing aid to keep in being a Power which they detest." -- Bertrand
de Jouvenel
