Every time a scientist begins glowing and puffing up in self-congratulation and pride with the scope of his knowldege, he should stop praising himself for a moment, and read this.
Some 13,000 new marine species have been discovered in the past year, according to information released by an international alliance of scientists.
The Census of Marine Life (COML) has also uncovered previously unknown migration routes used by fish such as tuna and shark.
"We're just skimming the surface," said Dr Ron O'Dor, Chief Census Scientist, based in Washington DC, US.
"We know something about the first 100m at this point but we know almost nothing about what lies down in the deep.
"Our analysis shows that if you catch a fish below 2,000m it is 50 times more likely to be new to science," he told the BBC News website.
We know a lot, and we're gathering more information and knowledge, every day. The point is, we should be humble and in awe of God's creation. We should be open-minded to accepting the premise that we don't know everything. Man--in his attempt to christen himself a god--has discarded the real God for his own ways and ideas. But God continues showing us that we don't know everything--and we never will.
We have a lot to learn.
