Me too. I believe God created everything, but I don't take the Bible literally. The Bible is here to teach us right from wrong. We didn't just appear, and we won't be here forever. I think something else will be living on Earth, or if we are here, we won't look the same way as we do now. Just like the article said we need more manned space missions. But yeah, PhiGam I agree with you.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up!
I've heard that too. There's this movie I saw years ago, and I can't think of the name of it, but it's about this guy who goes to the very bottom of the ocean, and what he saw was amazing. I'll have to look it up, it was so good. Scientist have recently found a new species of shark at crushing depth levels. They showed it on the news last summer. Not the most pleasent looking shark, but that just goes to show that there is so much to see, and research. Have you ever heard of viper fish? I have a DVD on them. I wish there was I way I could post the whole documentary on here for you to see lol. Some fish down there don't have any eyes, because they don't need any. It's pitch black down there and without any sunlight, very cold. If you get a chance rent Mission to Mars. It's a really good movie. I liked it.

Yeah, I would love to see our oceans explored more though.

btw: I loved the youtube.

ETA: Giant squid live down there too. They have one on display at the Aquarium in Chicago.

Happy trails!
Thanks Peppy. The article you posted was really good. Some of the tarantulas in the rainforest get to be the size of dinner plates, and are deadly to humans, unlike the ones here. There are actually more species of spiders in the rainforest than anywhere else in the world. Who knows, but the cure for so many diseases could be right here in our very own rainforests. We'll never know if they continue to be destroyed though.
