The world is gonna end in one way and one way only, the Rapture. Well...that won't really be the end of the world but after seven years God will destroy the earth with fire.
@OcelotGirl200 Interesting. Maybe you'd like to share with us the secrets of teleportation too? How about time travel, or something more mundane like how we achieve world peace or end world hunger?
I'm only asking since you seem to know so much, and I don't want to waste this golden opportunity to speak to you.
''Since the beginning of the industrial revolution we have removed .095% of the oxygen in our atmosphere. True, that is only a tenth of one percent of the total supply, but oxygen makes up only 20% of the atmosphere. I looked up safety rules regarding oxygen concentrations and according to OSHA rules on atmospheres in closed environments, "if the oxygen level in such an environment falls below 19.5% it is oxygen deficient, putting occupants of the confined space at risk of losing consciousness''
I think about 25% of the footage is repeated, often more than once. And the repetition of content is beyond belief. There's probably a decent 16 minute program buried in there, without the hyperbolic melodrama and US TV bullshit.
Actually, the jawless fish exist in recent times - i.e. the lampreys and the hagfish that've survived all of the massed extinctions, and may even survive the future ones as well.
"Earth is perilously close to becoming a lifeless planet." Not really; it's getting perilously close to having to start over again. Prokaryote bacteria, aerbobic and anaerobic, are everywhere in and under the land and sea. Several times in the past life had to restart from them, notably after "snowball earth" episodes, though none were as bad as what this might have been.
@puncheex Death re-creates life richer than before. Forests destroyed by fire regenerate remarkably fast and very lush. This is evolution at work. Astrophysicists maintain that stars that go nova and re-coalesce into new stars are richer in minerals than before. And so it goes. Nature is very scary.
@puncheex I don't think you necessarily get the concept of 'dramatic storytelling'. It doesn't necessarily have to be a correct description. But it sure sounds cool. But in a literal sense and totally boring way in terms of storytelling, you are correct.
@twilightguardian: Well, tell me, then, do they market this as dramatic storytelling? Sorry about the boring pert; perhaps it wouldn't be boring if it was properly explained. It's not boring to me.
@puncheex It's Animal Planet. And they market it as exactly what it is. Recreations and their own tellings of the worst extinction events in the Earth's history. Tales of struggle, death and survival. They don't have to say dramatic for you to know that it is. There is no other way for it to possibly be anything other than dramatic. A peaceful telling wouldn't work, after all.
@puncheex Preciesly. People so often underestimate Earth's tiniest, but most powerful life forms. The world belongs to bacteria, we're just renting it.

@OcelotGirl200 what god? Zeus, Apollo, Thor, Wotan ? I mean there are more gods than there are peas in a pod :P

@daverowbotham The only real God, Jesus. And Jesus is real, he's the only reason we're here. He's the only reason life exists.

@OcelotGirl200 Why is Jesus more real than Thor and Wotan? ( Disclaimer: I don't beleive in any gods ).

@puncheex I would have thought it was obvious from the way the narrator was talking that it was dramatic.
