Eons of time

Across the eons of time... tens of thousands of years... perhaps even millions if years... Planetary evolution and that of humans and all that influenced human development,  knowledge,  and the human experience, has many theories that are formulated to fit limited factual information. Information that creates many more questions that may never be answered. Or will all be revealed someday, when those beyond our knowledge return to fill in all the blanks... or are we never to know the real answers... and left only with theories and conjecture. For now, the possibilities and probabilities remain endless. The only certainly is that the extent of our current knowledge is like a drop of water in the ocean. Not only are there questions about the human experience here on earth, but life on other planets,  near and far. As per theories,  Mars once once earth like when the sun was hotter, and supported life. As the sun cooled Earth became into its own in what is referred to as the sweet spot for human existence,  and Mars became frozen and barren.  Does the human experience go beyond earth? And what of our own experience here on Earth? How will all the unexplained evidence of the past come to the forefront of knowledge.  Chances are we will never know in our lifetime.  But the theories are certainly intriguing as to all the possibilities. Facts... Truths... Beliefs... and Theories, we take small fragments of the facts and try to fill in the blanks. What will mankind know tomorrow. What theories will become factual reality. What lies beyond the reality of today? We can only wonder as to the possibilities. I enjoy the theories that go beyond scientific facts.
