With each passing there is a celestial bell that rings endlessly in the heavens marking the passage of the another miracle. It is certainly clear it provides clear evidence, unequivocal evidence, that something is amiss. Sweep,ful, over the long billions of years of multicellular life, there been five events that rivaled the extinction crisis that we are in today. If that is not evidence that something is amiss, i dont know what amiss means. We understand the cause of the extinction crisis.
