No time in the mind child statements....

I remember as a child of about 10+ my father asking me if i thought there were past civilisations...I told him yes and he asked me.-where are they?..I told him at the bottom of the sea...He asked how did they get there....I answered blown up by some great bombs or similar.I also told him man would walk on the moon.... I remember looking out at the back garden and asking my Mum , Do you ever think what it would be like if there were was no creation? She answered no why do you think such things? I once told her that in the future phones would have an image on them and we could see and talk to the people we were talking to...We had no home phone at the time... Shows no time in the mind...T
