  The Pre-Santharian Eras
ERA OF THE ANVIL (14.000 b.S. - 13.000 b.S.)
The Era of the Anvil was also the time when the races discovered the use of the anvil and the mixture of metals to make stronger alloys, which resulted in better tools and enhanced devices for complex constructions, forming the basis of an advanced society.
While it is uncertain whether the dispersing of the races and the subsequent genealogy of the tribes was caused by a catastrophe of cosmological importance (as elven myth claims), the fall of the once mighty city-realm of Fá'áv'cál'âr is an undeniable fact with severe consequences vibrating through all of Caelereth.

 Timeline of the Big Bang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This timeline of the Big Bang describes the events that have occurred and will occur according to the scientific theory of the Big Bang.
The first structures to form are quasars, which are thought to be bright, early active galaxies and population III stars.
Before this epoch, the evolution of the universe could be understood through linear cosmological perturbation theory: that is, all structures could be understood as small deviations from a perfect homogeneous universe.

 Geologic time scale Summary
In the early days of the Enlightenment era, geologic and cosmologic time were viewed as one, because there was no perceived difference between the age of the earth and the Universe as a whole.
Enlightenment era notions that geologic time was infinite, indefinite, or inconceivably long, would be replaced in time by finite estimates of ages of geological materials.
Because of its vast dimensions, geologic (and cosmologic) time has the potential to broaden the perspective of anyone who is willing to consider its implications and compare it with human or historic time.

 McCorry's Memoirs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The lacklustre Eras 1 and 3 had dovetailed into the developing magnificence of Eras 2 and 4, and the junction in those cases was one of either cautious or unhindered optimism.
Era 2 had an integrity to it that was indeed evident even when I was of ages 11, 12, 13.
Era 2 had not ceased because I became apparently unwanted in the same place in which I had lived for its duration; Era 4, however, seemed to be coming to a close because of precisely that.

The timeline is accompanied by a 32-page book that provides in-depth background information on the four main cultures--Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome--and features illustrated articles on the most important people, places, objects and events in the timeline.
The early agrarian era was a relatively peaceful world of small village communities living among other communities that continued to practice foraging life-ways similar to those of the Upper Paleolithic.
These contradictory influences had a contradictory outcome: though the history of the era of agrarian civilizations is characterized by innovations of many kinds, nowhere was innovation sufficient to keep up with the pace of population growth.

 Reflections on Prehistory by James Q. Jacobs
The current 65 million year long Cenozoic Era is divided into the five epoch Tertiary Period and the present Quarternary consisting of the recent 10,000 year Postglacial and the Pleistocene epochs.
Probably the ease of life in the interglacial had a beneficial affect on the population of moderns and thereby indirectly contributed to the rate of cultural advance.
During the First or Early Intermediate Period (2200-1400 BP.), an era characterized by many polities and distinct regional ceramics, the Moche culture rose to become the largest settlement of the north coast of Peru and the first archaic state to establish hegemony over part of the northern Andean demographic area.

A cosmological decade (CÐ) is a division of the lifetime of the cosmos.

As before, there have been 60.9 cosmological decades between the Planck epoch and the current epoch.

Plants and animals are both comprised of the elements of the earth and they literally exploded unto the scene in separate eras, in accordance with Genesis.
You can be superficial, believing that the universe, our solar system, life and man were created in six solar days, one of which occurred before our sun was created, two before the earth existed, and three before the sunrises and sunsets were visible, in disregard for the scientific evidence to the contrary.
Cosmologically this epoch began just shy of 16 billion years ago from our perspective on earth and 6.0 days ago from the perspective of Elohim at the time and place of creation.

 Faction Paradox: The Book of the War
The intercreationals were considered interesting but unimportant cosmological phenomena until an expedition to the frontier of future recorded history found evidence that devices in the region of space known as the Anvil Stars were harvesting the seeds of proto-Universes and sculpting them into potential Leviathans, living creatures that are themselves larger than entire Universes.
It is also known, in the War era, for paradoxical survivors of defunct timelines to appear as if from nowhere in human villages; usually to be treated as witches or prophets, they are known as the “hauserkinder,” although Kasper Hauser was not in fact one of them.
The Silversmiths of the era have developed cybernetic shock-troops known as Ashla, and, though research into time travel is forbidden for some reason, many posthuman sects are known to scavenge the artefacts of time-active cultures.

 The Information Age and the Printing Press: Looking Backward to See Ahead | Nick Lewis: The Blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
I am essentially saying the Internet era is very similar in important areas to the printing press era, and, because the printing press had broad and profound effects on its age we should expect similarly broad and profound effects from the information age.
In the printing press era, there were efforts in both religion and science to "clean up the manuscripts"; to take the now-available copies of a variety of manuscripts and to edit and correct them into a clean copy.
The printing press era was dominated by unintended consequences of applications of the technology and we are already seeing the dominance of unintended consequences in some areas of networked computers.

 No Title
Einstein kicked himself (figuratively speaking) for not predicting that the universe was expanding, said that introducing the cosmological constant was his biggest mistake, and figured that.
This idea is embodied in the cosmological principle which is the hypothesis that the universe is isotropic and homogeneous.
For a flat or negatively curved universe, the cosmological constant eventually dominates over the gravitational pull of matter because the matter density is decreasing with the expansion.

It rejected the revelational, cosmological, and authoritarian approaches of many faith traditions up to that time; instead relying on idealistic goals (see core precepts) to strive toward utilizing pragmatic means.
Pre-swarm era – Beneficence is a very minor religious sect diffusely dispersed on Earth, around the Sol system, and even to a few interstellar colonies, but has greater visibility than its numbers would suggest due to high profile advocacy and involvement in Pan-Sophont rights movements.

Einstein postulated the existence of a repulsive force which grows with distance ("vacuum energy" leding to negative pressure) in order to avoid the inevitable collapse of the universe due to the universally attractive force of gravity.
Nevertheless, usually credited as the first "modern/scientific" cosmological theory since the model was revised to match the existing data, and (successfully) used to make predictions of future events.

Another example of a timeline embedded in a Scriptural account and three stories existing in one narrative, is Hosea’s marriage to the temple prostitute Gomer.
There are three timelines and three simultaneous narratives embedded in Genesis one, but the brush strokes are much broader, bolder, and more complex.
First, despite secular humanist claims to the contrary, many of the scientific theories taught in schools as "science," which by their definition are things which can be empirically tested, cannot in fact be validated.
