  6. Enjoyed this very much! Imagining how full the world would be if some species did not die out is mind boggling. We know so little about creation, proven by the more we learn the more we see there is to learn! I believe we could be infinitely learning about this world, its inhabitants, and its resiliency in the face of changes because our Creator’s power is infinite.

    • I agree with you entirely. From what we’ve learned, it is amazing how wonderfully self-regulating this planet is and how many checks and balances are in place. It can be quite humbling, as long as people don’t give in to the natural human tendency to be arrogant.

    Perfect. You rock!

    This was great Rex. Hard to believe that 95% of animals are extinct that have ever existed. Very sad fact.
