Changes

57:7.2 2,000,000,000 years ago the [[earth]] began decidedly to gain on the [[moon]]. Always had the [[planet]] been larger than its [[satellite]], but there was not so much [[difference]] in size until about this time, when enormous space bodies were captured by the [[earth]]. [[Urantia]] was then about one fifth its present size and had become large enough to hold the [[primitive]] [[atmosphere]] which had begun to appear as a result of the internal elemental [[Competition|contest]] between the heated interior and the cooling crust.

57:7.3 Definite [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano volcanic] [[action]] dates from these times. The internal [[heat]] of the [[earth]] continued to be augmented by the deeper and deeper burial of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay radioactive] or heavier [[elements]] brought in from [[space]] by the [[meteors]]. The [[study]] of these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay radioactive] [[elements]] will [[reveal]] that [[Urantia]] is more than one billion years old on its [[surface]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Geologic_timescale] The [http://www.lateralscience.co.uk/radium/strutt.html radium clock (?)] is your most reliable timepiece for making [[scientific]] estimates of the age of the [[planet]], but all such estimates are too short because the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay radioactive] [[materials]] open to your scrutiny are all derived from the [[earth]]'s [[surface]] and hence [[represent]] [[Urantia]]'s comparatively recent acquirements of these [[elements]].

57:7.4 1,500,000,000 years ago the [[earth]] was two thirds its present size, while the [[moon]] was nearing its present [[mass]]. [[Earth]]'s rapid gain over the [[moon]] in size enabled it to begin the slow robbery of the little [[atmosphere]] which its [[satellite]] originally had.

57:7.10 The [[primitive]] [[planetary]] [[atmosphere]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano volcanic] age affords little [[protection]] against the collisional impacts of the [[meteoric]] swarms. Millions upon millions of [[meteors]] are able to penetrate such an [[air]] belt to smash against the [[planetary]] crust as solid bodies. But as [[time]] passes, fewer and fewer prove large enough to [[resist]] the ever-stronger [[friction]] shield of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen]-enriching [[atmosphere]] of the later eras.
