57:8.5 950,000,000 years ago [[Urantia]] presents the picture of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea one great continent] of [[land]] and one large body of [[water]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean Pacific Ocean]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanoes Volcanoes] are still widespread and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquakes earthquakes] are both frequent and severe. [[Meteors]] continue to bombard the [[earth]], but they are diminishing in both [[frequency]] and size. The [[atmosphere]] is clearing up, but the amount of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide carbon dioxide] continues large. The earth's crust is gradually [[stabilizing]].

57:8.6 It was at about this [[time]] that [[Urantia]] was assigned to [[the system]] of [[Satania]] for [[planetary]] [[administration]] and was placed on the life registry of [[Norlatiadek]]. Then began the [[administrative]] [[recognition]] of the small and insignificant [[sphere]] which was [[destined]] to be the [[planet]] whereon [[Michael]] would subsequently [[engage]] in the stupendous undertaking of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL mortal bestowal], would [[participate]] in those [[experiences]] which have since caused [[Urantia]] to become locally known as the "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_188#188:4._MEANING_OF_THE_DEATH_ON_THE_CROSS world of the cross]."

57:8.7 900,000,000 years ago [[witnessed]] the arrival on [[Urantia]] of the first [[Satania]] scouting party sent out from [[Jerusem]] to [[examine]] the [[planet]] and make a report on its [[adaptation]] for a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA life-experiment station]. This commission consisted of twenty-four members, embracing [[Life Carriers]], [[Lanonandek Sons]], [[Melchizedeks]], [[seraphim]], and other [[orders]] of [[celestial]] life having to do with the early days of [[planetary]] [[organization]] and [[administration]].

57:8.8 After making a painstaking survey of the [[planet]], this commission returned to [[Jerusem]] and reported favorably to the [[System Sovereign]], recommending that [[Urantia]] be placed on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA life-experiment registry]. Your world was accordingly registered on [[Jerusem]] as a [[decimal]] [[planet]], and the [[Life Carriers]] were notified that they would be granted permission to [[institute]] new [[patterns]] of [[mechanical]], [[chemical]], and [[electrical]] mobilization at the [[time]] of their subsequent arrival with [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:4._THE_LIFE-DAWN_ERA life transplantation] and implantation [[mandates]].

57:8.9 In due [[course]] arrangements for the [[planetary]] occupation were completed by the mixed commission of twelve on [[Jerusem]] and approved by the [[planetary]] commission of seventy on [[Edentia]]. These plans, proposed by the advisory [[counselors]] of the [[Life Carriers]], were finally accepted on [[Salvington]]. Soon thereafter the [[Nebadon]] [[broadcasts]] carried the [[announcement]] that [[Urantia]] would become the stage whereon the [[Life Carriers]] would [[execute]] their sixtieth [[Satania]] [[experiment]] [[designed]] to amplify and improve the [[Satania]] [[type]] of the [[Nebadon]] life [[patterns]].

57:8.10 Shortly after [[Urantia]] was first [[recognized]] on the [[universe broadcasts]] to all [[Nebadon]], it was accorded full [[universe]] [[status]]. Soon thereafter it was registered in the [[records]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS minor and the major sector headquarters] [[planets]] of the [[superuniverse]]; and before this age was over, [[Urantia]] had found entry on the planetary-life registry of [[Uversa]].

57:8.11 This entire [[age]] was characterized by frequent and [[violent]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm storms]. The early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_crust crust of the earth] was in a state of continual [[flux]]. [[Surface]] cooling alternated with immense [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava lava] [[flows]]. Nowhere can there be found on the [[surface]] of the world anything of this [[original]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_crust planetary crust]. It has all been mixed up too many times with extruding lavas of deep [[origins]] and admixed with subsequent deposits of the early world-wide [[ocean]].

57:8.24 700,000,000 years ago [[Urantia]] was approaching the ripening of conditions suitable for the [[support]] of life. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangea#Rifting_and_break-up continental land drift] continued; increasingly the [[ocean]] penetrated the [[land]] as long fingerlike seas providing those shallow [[waters]] and sheltered bays which are so suitable as a [[habitat]] for [[marine]] life.

And these [[waters]] were rapidly attaining that [[degree]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity saltiness] which was [[essential]] to [[Urantia]] life.

57:8.26 It was these seas and their successors that laid down the life [[records]] of [[Urantia]], as subsequently [[discovered]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_record well-preserved stone pages],[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:7._THE_GEOLOGIC_HISTORY_BOOK] volume upon volume, as [[era]] succeeded era and [[age]] grew upon age.
