Woolly Mammoth Hybrids Could Be Roaming Earth in Just Five Years

[Shawnster]

Over four billion species are estimated to have walked this planet over the last 3.5 billion years. Ninety-nine percent of them are now gone. But today's researchers are hoping to reintroduce these lost species—or at least something very similar to them—within the next five years

 

One biotechnology company, called Colossal Biosciences, is aiming to do just that with the long-extinct giant of the last ice age: the woolly mammoth. Launched by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and renowned geneticist George Church, Colossal Biosciences hopes to use gene editing technology to create a cold-resistant elephant that closely resembles its ancient ancestor in form and function.

What could possibly go wrong?

Dear Brother Shawn. I'm confused over your comment: "Over four billion species are estimated to have walked this planet over the last 3.5 billion years. The WT of 02/01/1973 has this to say: " Since each of the creative "days" or periods was evidently seven thousand years long, the whole creative "week takes 49,000 years. Is the info from the WT outdated or am I totally misreading your comment? Thanks for your response. Your Brother in Jehovah

You'll note we have nice newer publications since that 1973 Watchtower that discuss the creative days? Take a look at this one as an example:

 

 

You'll note, we no longer state that there is a specific length for each creative day. In fact, one of our videos had a chart showing each could be of different actual lengths. We even have an interesting discussion of that here

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the quote from the above brochure

How long, then, were the creative days? The Bible does not say; however, the wording of Genesis chapters 1 and 2 indicates that considerable lengths of time were involved.

FWIW I believe that the 1985 Life—How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? book was even more specific:

 

"It would seem reasonable that the “days” of Genesis could likewise have embraced long periods of time—millenniums."

It's the first paragraph from the article I shared.  Not my statement. 

 

But, yes, we no longer believe each creative day was 7000 years long.  We no longer believe one day completely ended before the next day began.  The Bible is open to the possibility that each creative day was not of the same length, could have been millions years long, and the days may have overlapped. 

 

*** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***

Genesis chapter 1 uses the term “day” to set out the stages in the preparation of the earth for life in all its diverse forms. The culminating event in this simple description was the appearance of humans. The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
