A little more perspective: Christ was born 1,061,359,848 minutes ago (if my math is correct).

I've always found the following example to be a pretty good illustration of the magnitude of difference:

If you spent a dollar every second...

A million dollars would last you 12 days.

A billion dollars would last you 31 years.

A trillion dollars, at a dollar a second, would last over 31,000 years.

About 65 billion seconds have elapsed since the time of Christ, not even close to a trillion seconds. A trillion seconds ago (give or take) Neanderthals were in the final ages of their extinction.
