Your fairy tale of men being here for billions of years may have fooled the savages 3000 years ago and those words were recorded so we can read them now, those words do not cut the mustard in light of 21st century science and technology.
3000 years ago, 2000 years ago, 1000 years ago, 50 years ago even, there was not the slightest hint there was anything ...[text shortened]... t humans would have eaten a billion years ago when there was nothing on earth but bacteria.
I have said repeatedly that the universe goes through partial annihilations which upsets all possibilities of observing a time line that goes in straight line.......which science needs to be able to understand anything at all.

Time reference
Kalpa (a day of Brahma) is consists of thousand mahayugas, fourteen manvantaras, or 4,320,000,000 years.
The beginning of this kalpa was 2.3 billion years ago (453 mahayugas back).
Brahma's life (vikalpa) is 311,040,000,000,000 years long. "Our" Brahma is fifty years old.
"Outside of the three planetary systems [Svarga, Martya and Patala], the four yugas multiplied by one thousand comprise one day on the planet of Brahma. A similar period comprises a night of Brahma, in which the creator of the universe goes to sleep."
(SB 3.11.22)
"After the end of Brahma's night, the creation of the three worlds begins again in the daytime of Brahma, and they continue to exist through the life durations of fourteen consecutive Manus, or fathers of mankind."
(SB 3.11.23)
You can know understand that your perception of the time line is not fluid and therefore you cannot understand the fact that humans existed way back.

Here is the saddest part: You are so stuck in these lies you would give up on everything good and great about our civilization, concentrate only on the bad parts then profess not to even give a crap if someone close to you dies, you have this sadly mistaken belief in things that should have died out thousands of years ago. You are a sad person.

Tell me what quantum mechanics is then. I would like to know your level of understanding before I go any further.

My answer is correct................it is the simple non technical answer for lay persons.
Bose Einstein Condensates are quantum entities and they can be macroscopic. A better answer doesn't have to mention the size nor the kind of laws of the entities. You just have to mention their ontological nature and behavior.
If you'd talk about the casual non deterministic aspect of quantum mechanics while also mentioning the fact that quantum behavior always happens but it is only noticeable when interference effects are mainly constructive you'd have a much better answer.
This is a very nice book: http://www.amazon.com/QED-Strange-Princeton-Science-Library/dp/0691125759 with it you can understand quantum mechanics and quantum field theory at a popular but not dumbed down level.
Edit: Take a look at the videos of the conferences that originated the book: http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8

Why are you pulling me into this topic.
It is not important.
What is important is how to develop love for God.
This world is not a world I want to come back to.
I am only interested in returning home back to Godhead.
That,s the only important thing.
Leave quantum mechanics for the atheists to waste their time with.

of theologically doomed atheists who did the quantum mechanics needed
to make your computer work?
Also if you find their work useful (which you evidently do as you're using it
right now) how can you claim it was a waste of time?
If you are only interested in returning 'home back to Godhead' and not care about
mortal suffering, disease or starvation.
How can you claim to be a moral being, surely in that case anything you do is
for the selfish motivation of making it to heaven (or your religions equivalent)?
which will surely be detectable by your deity who will disbar you for being selfish?
If not then your god cares only about people worshipping him, and nothing
about how they treat others in this world and is that not a moral being.
In that case why would you worship such a being?
