According to
evolution, two million years ago, “an encounter with a cold cloud of gas and
dust could have caused our planet's "protective giant bubble" to draw
back, potentially cooling our planet, new research claims.”
How
could it has happen? Some researchers believe that ” Earth may
have briefly lost protection from the sun around two million years ago, left to
endure the extreme environment of interstellar space as the solar system passed
through a dense cloud of gas and dust between stars.
At that
time, early human ancestors shared our planet with prehistoric
animals like mastodons and sabretooth tigers. It's also when Earth was in the
midst of the ice age that ended only around 12,000 years ago. Ice
ages are brought about by a range of factors, “
The only decision for the ice age is the flood of Noah’s day, which usher in condition’s that made the ice age possible.
