STURGEON: A fishy estimate

| October 17, 2018 1:32 AM

I found Syd Albright’s article on ancient fish of the dinosaur days to be rather fascinating. He said, “Scientists say the white sturgeon goes back 120 million years.”

Did you find this statement as hilarious as I did? I am convinced the scientists slightly missed the age of the sturgeon. I am absolutely certain that the age of these ancient fish is one hundred twenty-one million, six hundred sixty-six thousand, thirteen hundred and thirteen. Which of us do you think is the most accurate? Ha Ha! I cannot stop laughing!

Perhaps God, the Creator of all things, is accurate to the exact second.
