Two Riddles

One of these has an answer I know. The other I can't figure out. I'm not really sure what to write, so I just opened my spiral and this was what I happened to flip to. What is it?

I've been around the world. I've seen a million things.
I've fought in countless wars, and dined with many kings.
I've seen the northern lights. I've counted all the stars.
I've been through Saturn's rings, I started life on Mars.
I'm fluent in every language, I've tasted each cuisine.
I've stayed in every palace, and lived what people dream.
I was there when it began, and I know when it will end.
My only enemy is man, yet you are still my dearest friend.
I invented evolution. I gave you your first breath.
I was there at your conception and I'll be there for your death.

I honestly have no idea what that one is. It puzzles me. I do know the answer to this one, however.

Four men sat down to play.
They played all night 'till break of day.
They played for gold and not for fun,
With separate scores for everyone.
But when they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts.
Can you this paradox explain?
If no one lost how could all gain?

That is a good one. Haha. Anyways, I think I am done for the night. I've been reading some. Just trying to find an escape, really. Ha. My phone is back in order, but I'm still working on the computer... I guess that's all there is to say.
