Dr. Viktor Sadovnichy, president of Moscow State University, recently announced plans for the undertaking in a press conference. Likening the project to Noah’s Ark, Sadovnichy said the university aims to create a database of “every living thing on Earth.”
“If this project is realized, it will mean a thrust forward in the history of Russian science, as this will be the first country in the world to create a true Noah’s Ark,” Sadovnichy said, as reported by Russian media sources. “It will involve the creation of a depository for the storing of every living thing on Earth, including not only living, but disappearing and extinct organisms. This is the challenge we have set for ourselves.”
“It will have the facilities for cryogenic storage of the cell material samples with an opportunity to reproduce them in the future,” Sadovnichy explained. “It will also have information systems because there’s no need to keep absolutely everything in test tubes.”" ChristianNewsNetwork
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind,
and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:25
