An Island in Time T, HE world was in a fine state nobody was on earth. And it was a lucky thing they werent, for if they had they would have been cooked to the condition of a sizzling steak in something less than one second. In fact the figure is inept. On the centigrade scale water boils at one hundred degrees. The temperature of the surface of the earth was about six thousand degrees centigrade. A siz zling steak would have been ice-cold by comparison, and could not have existed for one second. Even such heat-resistant elements as platinum and carbon were not only melted, but they were in a state of gaseous nebulae. The world was a ball of hot gas, and hot is not the word for it. Its temperature was the result of sub-atomic energy from the interior which reached the amazing value of twenty million degrees. It is beyond comprehension. If the electric heater in your bath room could be stepped up to this level it would instantly set fire to anything and everything within a radius of many thousand miles. The reason for all this was that the earth had just been born. Because of the gravitational pull of a passing star it had been wrenched and torn from the body of its mother, the sun. It was made up entirely of sun-stuff. This was three billion years ago. If there is one thing that the earth has always had in abun . LISTEN, BRIGHT ANGEL dance, that thing is time. If time is money, the earth is a pluto cratat least, from the point of view of little man. But when the first crust formed and the ball of hot gas had passed through astate of liquefaction to solidity, living things had not yet appeared. All this was the preparatory stage the first billion years were the hardestand the earth, painfully and slowly, was getting ready to produce life. The crust deepened until the outer surface had a depth of forty miles and the internal heat, slowly diminishing, was sealed in the interior. This was the Archeozoic era, geologi cally speaking, and while much of the surface was covered with water, the oldest known rocks were formed and re formed and folded and tilted and fused...
