In 2008 on the Arctic Island of Svalbard, a vault was built to store the seeds of hundreds of thousands of plants in the event of global catastrophe.

Is this just science, or merely history repeating itself? Hmmmm.....I've always wondered how big the Ark was to accommodate all those animals. And how did the Lion survive 40 days of hunger as it nestled next to the gazelle? This is what the bible says; Gen 6 wrote:14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks....
19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” Chap 7 wrote:2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Note, I dont know if lions were there because the clean animal per jewish customs are cow, goat sheep, gazelle roebuck and the unclean are the pigs rabbit etc. Now if you read the Noah's ark story per the Mesopotamia's texts that kinda solves the hungry lion puzzle. PS. I believe the writters of the bible just translated the Mesopotamia story to suit them. http://www.dailymail.co....acle-reeds-bitumen.html Boss if at all God created everything on earth including the wild animals, i do not see a reason why he would discriminate his animals and call others dirty and call others clean such that the clean ones only get good favors!! I still believe that the Bible is just a collection of stories, some true, some false!! Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

I think to the creator, some things are so basic that he just laughs when we try to figure them out. Our brains are made in such a manner that its ability to reason does not exceed a certain point. Thats why however hard, for instance, you try to think of what the word 'forever and ever' means, you simply cant. For instance, if a sheep started wondering about how a plane is able to take off and fly, it would spend its entire lifetime without getting a single hint! The possibility of aliens being in existance is real, or so i tend to think. Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.
