Those who were against the creation of people similar to themselves saw a possible threat in the experiment and therefore went to destroy the creation. The second attempt was made on a planet too near a sun that was too hot; therefore, their creation was destroyed by noxious radiation. The third attempt was made “among thorns” on a planet, which was far too humid, where the plant life was so powerful that it destroyed the equilibrium and the animal world. This world consisting only of plants still exists. But the fourth attempt was finally successful on “good ground”. And it is important to note that there were in fact three successes in Wom: 1 1 1 red rorod all.
