Natural Evolution

Nov. 21, 2005 — Israel's Dead Sea is, ironically, as old as life itself. Hidden in the world's deepest valley and protected by majestic desert mountains, the Dead Sea is one important feature in a land of mysteries, miracles and biblical legends that we must see before it's too late. In another three decades, the evaporating Dead Sea could possibly become the dry sea.

The Dead Sea is dying," Bromberg said. "The Dead Sea is shrinking. It's falling by a meter in depth every year."The Dead Sea relies on the fresh water of the Jordan River. And, that once-wide river is now just a contaminated trickle. As the sea's water disappears, it creates large sinkholes that make it dangerous to even approach the sea in certain spots."If the Dead Sea goes away, we lose the ability to connect what's really central about Earth and humanity and, ultimately, the divine," Feiler said.

What does this say about the Earth and its/our connection to the "divine?" This doesn't seem so unnatural but instead a natural process of evoulution. People die, why can't seas. Maybe the fact that it is "dying" will reflect upon our race as a sign of something, not necessarily "divine" or "spiritual."
