The Error of the Evolution
of Species

Lessons to be Learned From
the Biosphere 2 Project

Our own lives depend indisputably on millions of other
living species, flawless balances and perfectly functioning

ecosystems. The purification of the water you drink, the
production of the air you breathe and the food you eat, the
fertilization of agricultural land, the production of raw ma-
terials in the objects you use and countless other activities
are all carried out by living things. Most people fail to prop-
erly appreciate these blessings they obtain from living things
that live side by side with them, and most do'nt even feel
the need to think about them. Yet to free one from lazy
thinking and familiarity, what would happen if the living

things that perform these services for us ceased to exist?
Clearly, we, too, would be unable to survive. Even if we
mobilized advanced technology and our entire material
means, we could never establish the balances and condi-
tions essential to our survival. The latest scientific research
to confirm this fact was the Biosphere 2 Project, regarded as
the largest and most complex closed study area used in eco-

logical research to date.
This project aimed to establish an ecosystem that would
provide a habitat for eight people, plants and animals for a
