Astronomers have found new evidence for species extinctions and re-creations described in Psalm 104. For the first time a particular mass extinction event has been linked to a gamma-ray burst. The astronomers found that the late Ordovician mass extinction event (440 million years ago) was unusual in that the extinctions were water-depth related—indicating a very strong ultraviolet radiation that would arise from a nearby gamma-ray burst. The mass speciation event that followed this mass extinction event demonstrates that the Creator was actively replacing old species of life with new and different species.
