done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
6. I predict that it might become very popular. Now I
understand how scientists discover new animals. These animals
are new to us, but God created every animal in the beginning.
There is nothing new under the sun. I feel good because they
found this spider.
