# Extinction recovery takes 10 mln years. (AP) - For all practical purposes,
when a species is gone, it's gone. Scientists analyzed fossils and calcu-
lated it takes about 10 million years after a plant or animal becomes
extinct before anything resembling it reappears. The analysis confirms the
fears of many scientists worried about the increasing loss of plant and
animal life. Biologists estimate that up to half of the known animal and
plant species in the world could be wiped out within a century. Scrub the
biosphere: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564837998-704

remains.In an article published recently by the Washington Post, Gold says
hydrocarbons exist abundantly deep inside the earth's core & interact bio-
logically with other life substances to continuously produce self renewing
springs of petroleum. http://www.sightings.com/politics6/replent.htm
