His works were so influential that late in the 9th century Notker the Stammerer, a monk of the Monastery of St. Gall in Switzerland, wrote that " God, the orderer of natures, who raised the Sun from the East on the fourth day of Creation, in the sixth day of the world has made Bede rise from the West as a new Sun to illuminate the whole Earth ".

The contents are correspondingly varied: a confession of sin and a plea to God not to maintain his anger forever ( ch. 63: 7 – 64: 11 ); a poem on the theme that God has no need of a temple because Heaven is his throne and Earth his footstool ( Isaiah 66: 1 – 2 ); verses setting out conditions for admission to the community ; complaints of sin, incompetence and paganism ; and distinctions between the " righteous " and the " sinners ", foreshadowing the categories used in much later Judaism and early Christianity.

The theory asserts that all currently living organisms on Earth share a common genetic heritage with each being the descendant from a single original species, though the suggestion of substantial horizontal gene transfer during early evolution has led to questions about monophyly of life.

Carbon generally has low toxicity to almost all life on Earth ; however, to some creatures it can still be toxic – for instance, carbon nanoparticles are a deadly toxins to Drosophila.

Aluminum is also far more common in the Earth and Earth's crust than the universe and solar system, but the composition of Earth's mantle ( which has more magnesium and iron in place of aluminum ) more closely mirrors that of the universe, save for the noted loss of volatile elements.

However, even Walter Alvarez has acknowledged that there were other major changes on Earth even before the impact, such as a drop in sea level and massive volcanic eruptions that produced the Indian Deccan Traps, and these may have contributed to the extinctions.

Charles has played this role in all eight series, until 1999, and in the 2009 three-part special, Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, for channel Dave.

This led Mantovani to propose an Expanding Earth theory which has since been shown to be incorrect.

The choice does affect their starting position on the " Play on Earth " map, and thus different resources in one's initial cities, but has no effect on starting position when starting a random world game or a customized world game.

The open cluster NGC 4755, better known as the Jewel Box or Kappa Crucis Cluster, has an overall magnitude of 4. 2 — to the naked eye it appears to be a fuzzy star — and is about 7600 light-years from Earth.

Since that time, the rate of crater production on Earth has been considerably lower, but it is appreciable nonetheless ; Earth experiences from one to three impacts large enough to produce a 20 km diameter crater about once every million years on average.

`` For instance, Hesperus agreed to help me find my property, and I agreed to take him to Earth.

Anaxagoras ( c. 450 BC ) agreed that the Earth was flat, and his pupil Archelaus believed that the flat Earth was depressed in the middle like a saucer, to allow for the fact that the Sun does not rise and set at the same time for everyone.

Since these observations agreed with theory for elastic waves, they showed that the Earth could be treated as elastic in studies of seismic waves.

In 1997, Tyler Volk argued that a Gaian system is almost inevitably produced as a result of an evolution towards far-from-equilibrium homeostatic states that maximise entropy production, and Kleidon ( 2004 ) agreed stating: "... homeostatic behavior can emerge from a state of MEP associated with the planetary albedo "; "... the resulting behavior of a biotic Earth at a state of MEP may well lead to near-homeostatic behavior of the Earth system on long time scales, as stated by the Gaia hypothesis ".

The gleisners live in space, mostly in the asteroid belt, and in various other places in the Solar System ; Egan implies that they long ago agreed to leave Earth to the fleshers to avoid conflict.

As a result of anthropogenic modification of the environment, the extinction rate has climbed to the point where the Earth is now within a sixth mass extinction event, as commonly agreed by biologists.

The Autobots agreed to aid the Mini-Cons, preferring that they be free and not subject to anyone's will, but the Decepticons still sought to control them, and attacked the launch of the Mini-Con ship, which was crippled as it escaped through a portal, causing it to crash-land on Earth, where the Mini-Cons remained dormant for a million years until they were awakened by the very humans they had come to find.

From measurements using a Kater's pendulum of the force of gravity at the sea level and at the summit of Mount Fuji, Mendenhall deduced a value for the mass of the Earth that agreed closely with that which Francis Baily had obtained in England by another method.

It is agreed that Rainbow Mothra cannot defeat Ghidorah in its current form and so it is decided that he must travel back in time to a point where Ghidorah was not so powerful, to a time when the dinosaurs still walked the Earth, and when Ghidorah had visited from space for the first time as Cretaceous King Ghidorah to feed upon the Earth's life-force.

As part of the surrender terms, the Dilgar agreed to let Earth warships blockade the Dilgar jump-gate, thus trapping the Dilgar in their home solar system.
