Something i discovered when i was driving and heard this on the radio that research suggests that there are roughly 8.7 million species on this planet (rough estimate so could be rounded up to +3 million or -3 million) But strong evidence suggest a number between 8-9 million.

The reason i am posting this is because i know in Guru Granth Shaib Ji it states that there are 8.4 million species on this planet and reincarnate through all these. <<< Thats Amazing 500 years before we had the capacity to discover or even understand how many species existed.
Just posted for those that missed this...
