It's close to 7:00 pm central standard time, on the 1st day of February, in the 2013th year of our lord. You are alive right now.
There are about 7 billion other humans alive right now. In the history of our world, there have been about 110 billion people who have been born. This universe has existed for roughly 12-14 billion years, which means that since this universe was created, there have been about 8 people born per year. Somehow, YOU were once of those people granted the gift of the highest existence known to us, and you just HAPPEN to be alive right at this second. This second will never happen again, and the next second has never been experienced by anything. Enjoy it.

You're too high dude. I believe you're maybe taking into account the death rate as well, but to say that there are only 8 ppl born per year is, quite obviously, extremely inaccurate.

What I said, and what I meant, was that if you divide the number of humans ever born by the number of years the universe has been existence, that the number born per year is about 8.
I did not say, nor did I mean, that the actual birth rate per year is 8.

Well if you wanted to use the lord and biblical proportions then you would believe the Earth is really only about 6000-7000 years old

It's 2013 A.D.
A.D. = anno domini --> latin for --> the year of our lord.

Simply put, it came from the Bible. Of course, the Bible doesn’t say explicitly anywhere, “The earth is 6,000 years old.” Good thing it doesn’t; otherwise it would be out of date the following year. But we wouldn’t expect an all-knowing God to make that kind of a mistake.
God gave us something better. In essence, He gave us a “birth certificate.” For example, using a personal birth certificate, a person can calculate how old he is at any point. It is similar with the earth. Genesis 1 says that the earth was created on the first day of creation (Genesis 1:1–5). From there, we can begin to calculate the age of the earth.
Let’s do a rough calculation to show how this works. The age of the earth can be estimated by taking the first five days of creation (from earth’s creation to Adam), then following the genealogies from Adam to Abraham in Genesis 5 and 11, then adding in the time from Abraham to today.
Adam was created on day 6, so there were five days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.3 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).
So a simple calculation is:
5 days
+ ~2,000 years
+ ~4,000 years
~6,000 years
At this point, the first five days are negligible. Quite a few people have done this calculation using the Masoretic text (which is what most English translations are based on) and with careful attention to the biblical details, they have arrived at the same time frame of about 6,000 years, or about 4000 B.C. Two of the most popular, and perhaps best, are a recent work by Dr. Floyd Jones4 and a much earlier book by Archbishop James Ussher5 (1581–1656). See table 1.

Dinosaur bones were planted on earth by Satan to make people question God.
