Reminds me of another post the other day about how the Appalachian mountains are older than trees. (And Saturn’s rings)
Geological time scales really are something else.

So not just “older than the trees” like in the song but “older than trees… anywhere”

You might be thinking of alternative fact, lie, wives tale, myth, fallacy, falsity, fiction, fib… or factoid.
Thanks for this factoid.
Ah, interesting distinction. Thanks for clarifying.
Don’t believe him!
Couldn’t bees like still do their thing though?
Spiders were around long before screen doors, and they still figured out how to make webs on mine.
