Chapter V – Body And Soul (con't).....
One of my favorite stories about the nature of time and the Universe and God and man, and by "man" I mean females and males, goes something like this:
Disciple: Duh...Teacher, how old is the Universe?
Buddha: The Universe is many, many eons old.
Disciple: How long is an eon?
Buddha: If you had a piece of granite the size of the Earth,
and you polished it with a silk handkerchief until it was
the size of a marble, that would be one eon.
Disciple: Doh!
