What are the myths about the beechwood tree?
Beech Tree in the Victorian Language of Flowers meant - Prosperity
Ancient Romans revered the beech tree, as it was sacred to Diana. They carried the wood as a "good-luck" talisman, poured libations of wine over the trunk, and liked to lie in its shade. Others believe having beech wood in the house will prolong labour and childbirth as well as complicate a spirit's passing at death. Beech is a favourite wood for Yule logs.
The Celts saw Beech as the tree of learning, wisdom and the written word as well as a symbol of prosperity. The Celtic "lesson of the Beech" is the importance of learning and the need to study and preserve our written knowledge for the benefit of generations to come. "rooted in the knowledge of the ancients, sustained by the ideas of the present, we will continue to reach for the stars.
It is said if you carve the words of a wish in a piece of beech wood and bury it in the soil, as the wood decays the wish will come to manifestation.
Variously the beech has been associated with Ogma, Hermes, Thoth, Mercury, Odin, & Cronos.

How much time has elapsed since Creation?
- There is no way of knowing how long ago the Creation depicted in the Book of Genesis might have occurred. It is a poetic, rather than a scientific account, and in any case it is important to remember that the Bible makes no claim about the age of the Earth. The theoretical figure of some 6,000 years is modern pseudoscience, and was arrived at by counting the number of generations listed in the Bible from Adam to Jesus and assigning an arbitrary average length to them. The theory also assumes, without any proof, that the "day" of Creation was the same length as it is now.
- If we go by what the Bible says, then the time from creation to today is approximately 6 thousand years. This is calculated by using historical markers from known historical events mentioned in the Bible and then doing calculations based on other known dates mentioned in relation to those markers. It has nothing whatsoever to do with an 'arbitrary generational age', since this would only give an approximate and not exact age. In relation to Bible chronology relating to the age of the earth a number of people have done calculations, including of all people, Sir Isaac Newton. Most come with dates close to the most highly regarded date of Bishop James Usher who arrived at 4004 BC for the date of creation. This is assuming no 'gaps' in the record, which, if they existed would only stretch the record a few thousand years at best. Most would understand that the Bible, while not claiming to be a textbook of science does indeed claim reliability in the history it records. The Bible record of history has also been repeatedly verified by external facts such as archaeology.
- In relation to the literature of the Bible, some occasionally claim that the Bible creation accounts are poetic. This is not correct as they are written in prose form. The Hebrew poetic form being quite different as in Psalms, Proverbs and Job. These accounts are thus intended to be taken as a historical record and the days, in the context, are intended to be normal 24 hour days. Following on from this it is also clear that the days are normal 24 hour days as we have today as the relevant Hebrew word 'yom' (day) is qualified by the words 'evening and morning' which can mean only one thing.
- The consensus of professional scientific organizations worldwide is that no scientific evidence contradicts the age of approximately 4.5 billion years.
- If the question deals with the creation of "everything" we see, the universe as a whole, the answer is about 13.7 billion years. The earth has been around for 4.5 to 4.6 billion years.
- All of the above answers regarding billions of years pre-supposes that the rate of the elapse of time has remained constant but there is scientific evidence that it hasn't.
- Some believe Genesis was meant as Hebrew Poetry, not an historical account, and that each "day" of creation was actually thousands, if not millions, of years.
- The Earth is 6,450 years old. Look in Luke and in the old Testament. There is this thing called the Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:21. In the old testament is tells when people had their children. The genealogy tells from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus do the math, add 2 thousand years and you have 6,450 years. Also there is no record of anything before that time.
- Jewish Answer - As of January 16, 2010 the world would be 5770 yrs and 4 months old base on the dates and ages given in the Torah (Old Testament).

What is the creation story for Islams?
Bismillah It is mentioned in the Hadith that a delegation from Yemen came to the prophet (PBUH), and asked him:
"O Allah's Apostle! We have come to ask you about this matter (i.e. how creation began)".
The prophet understood that this question needs an answer in order to prevent any misinterpretations resulting from vain desire or Satanic thoughts, so he said:
"First of all, there was Allah, and there was nothing before Him,
The first thing that Allah created was the pen
and He said to it 'Write'.
The pen asked, "O my God...'What shall I write?'
Allah said, 'Write (the) fate (of everything).' So the pen wrote everything that shall be from that moment until judgment day.
and He wrote everything in "Al-Thikr" (the tablet)
and then He created the Heavens and the Earth."
Quran 21:30 says
"Have not those who disbelieve known
that the heavens (universe) and the earth were of one piece,
then We parted them,
and we made every living thing of water?
Will they not then believe?"
[Al-Qur'an 79:30] "And we have made the earthegg shaped".
(The Arabic word Dahaha means egg shaped. It also means an expanse. Dahaha is derived from Duhiya which specifically refers to the egg of an ostrich which is geospherical in shape, exactly like the shape of the earth. the proof that dahaha in this context means egg-shaped is given in Sahih bukhari, volume 9, book 87 , hadith no. 141.) Quran 51:47 says
"And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander."
Al-Qur'an 41:9-12 "Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two periods (epoch)? And do ye join equals With him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds; He set on the (earth) mountains standing firm, High above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, In four periods(epoch), in accordance with (the needs of) Those who seek (sustenance)." Moreover, He Comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the earth. "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly. They said: "We do come (Together), in willing obedience." So He completed them as seven firmaments in two periods(epoch) and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command and We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the decree of (Him) the exalted in might, full of knowledge."
... so this means that the earth and it's mountains, water, etc were completed in 4 periods. And the seven heavens in 2 periods. 4 + 2 periods is 6 periods. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
