Catch up on your native language, if you think that statement is not grammatically fine. Find out if your error was gross, and know how gross your error is.

These are inter-changeable, relative to its context.
No, they're not in any way interchangeable. It's as much nonsense to say "eons of light-years" as it is to say "a month of miles."
The life seen in a swamp, for example, did not initiate solely because of earth-like conditions, is my point. Further, to survive, conditions have to be intergrated and designed in a way the subject is receptive. A mother can support an off-spring, but the emerging life is condusive - signifying a hovering program which incorporates both. Life is involuntary.
That makes absolutely no sense at all. Can you restate?

A month of miles is not the same. The cluster of Virgo is not merely so many miles away, but expressed in the time it takes that light to reach earth. That is why it is termed light YEARS.

Yes. That's why light-years is a measurement of distance, equal to 5.87910^12 miles, and not a unit of time. It's a unit of distance because it's used to measure distance.
Life is not intiated only by earthly matters.
Says you. Why is it that you can't seem to marshal any evidence for that?

Derived by secs, mins, day, months of a year. A light year distance = 1 year light travel.

There's no evidence of its antithesis either.

Yeah, it can also be described in terms of kilometers, miles, feet, yards, parsecs, even cubits, provided one could actually define a cubit.

Crash did not say that "a month of miles" is the same as "eons of light years." He said that "a month of miles" is as nonsensical as "eons of light years."

It is difficult to tell whether the problem is garbled syntax or garbled comprehension, but a light year is a measure of distance, and is equal to the distance light travels in a year. Since a light year is equal to 5.87x1012 miles, saying something like "eons of light-years" is the same as saying "eons of many miles," and makes as little sense.
So when you said back in Message 23 that "the dust of earth's matter does not result in life by itself, even given eons of light years," that's equivalent to saying, "the dust of earth's matter does not result in life by itself, even given eons of many miles."
Is that really what you meant to say?

The dif is that unlike light years, 'many miles' is not a quotient of years. My usage may be novel, but not nonsensical. Everyone understood. English is a pliable language, not a wooden one - get with it, folks!

Said Humpty-Dumpty to Alice.
Your reply is as resistent to interpretation as your previous ones. No one will know what you mean by, "The dif is that unlike light years, 'many miles' is not a quotient of years." The original suspicion that you don't understand that a light year is a measure of distance remains and is getting stronger. When you say, "My usage may be novel," put through an IamJoseph translator it comes out as, "My usage is wrong."
I suggest, as I've suggested before, that if you wish to be understood that you express yourself clearly and plainly so that discussion can focus on the topic instead of on, once again, "What is IamJoseph trying to say?"

A light year distance = 1 year light travel.
Right. It's a distance.
What about this is hard to understand? The unit of time you're looking for is called the "year."

It doesn't matter what it is a quoteient of. I can ride a bicycle a certain distance in a week. We can call that distance bike-weeks.
Would it make sense to talk about my age in bike-weeks?
No, because it is a measure of distance not time.
Light-years in reference to time is not different than just "years", or snail-years (the distance a snail can travel in a year).
Your phase would mean the same thing if you put "eons of snail-years". Why even put light-years in there if you could have just said "years"?
How does including the distance that light can travel in that time help your point in any way? Your still just talking about the time portion of the phrase, and not talking anything about the distance that it is describing. Why is that?
I think its because you're trying to sound smarter than you actually are.

No, you cannot align a generic association here, because that is not a constant, as with distance and light years. The distance of a star gives an equivalent period of time: these are interactive.

WHAT MATTERS ABOUT MATTER.
Re Is everything made of the same matter.
This requires a preamble:
1. TIME, MATHS, ENERGY, & MATTER, are *THIS* side of the universe - meaning they did not create the universe, nor did they exist before the universe, but are post universe components. Matter does not exist without energy; time does not exist without matter. And vice versa, can energy exist without matter? The same applies with time.
2. Nothing is 'superfluous' in the universe.
3. All the components of the universe are 'intergrated'. Time is not an independent component: just as energy and matter are receptive to one another, time is reflective of both of them. Eg: pi, radius-circumference ratios, right angles of a triangle, the limits of numbers in a space - are reflective, 'Mathematical' indexes of energy and matter. The same applies with the 'Time' of a pregnancy; the period of a pineapple from a seed; the variant period limits of a human life span and a quark; the planetary rotations and Gravity are reflective indexs of matter and energy.
3. 'Intergration' means: Nothing happens without the interaction of minimum two components ('duality) and nothing happens with one component ('singularity'): One (Singularity) does not exist in the universe. That a single cell amoeaba acitivates itself without a duality is an error: the cell has numerous components; even the impacting force (heat, energt, time etc) which interacts here serves as a duality counterpart.
Conclusion: None of these components apply outside a universe scenario. These would be superfluous pre-universe, violating the 'Interaction' premise. Would a car wheel apply on Jupiter?

Re: WHAT MATTERS ABOUT MATTER.
What?
I am not sure if you are aware of Karl Pilkington, IaJ but there are some striking similarities in your writings.
Your thoughts bring to mind one of his most famous quotes
"Am I in charge of my brain, or is my brain in charge of me?"

WOW! If only I could get everyone to appreciate this point - personally I would challenge the inclusion of MATHS, but that's one for a much deeper discussion. But otherwise, spot on
2. Nothing is 'superfluous' in the universe.
3. All the components of the universe are 'intergrated'. Time is not an independent component: just as energy and matter are receptive to one another, time is reflective of both of them.
Err, yeah, sort of... I guess.

Huh?

Oh dear and it all started out so well...
