How BIG is a Billion?



The next time you hear a someone use the word 'billion' in the usual, casual manner of speaking, just think about what that really represents. A picture is worth a 1000 words - yes! A billion is a truly difficult number to comprehend.
  • A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
  • A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
  • A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
  • A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth.
That's the BIG picture!
