Oh well, i don't really understand this passage with all those bible stuffs. But no choice, still have to post my reflection.
Situation:
The story about moses and 10 plagues. Have you heard of it before? You don't? Its alright. Even i myself didn't heard of it. All i know about was the 10 plagues. They are just a series of bad events that happened, one after another.
First plague: River water turned to blood
Second plague: Frogs
Third plague: Gnats
Fourth plague: Flies
Fifth plague: Death of livestock
Sixth plague: Boils
Seventh plague: Hails
Eighth plague: Locusts
Ninth plague: Darkness
Tenth plague: Death of the first born

Effects of an environmental catastrophe could explain the story behind the 10 plagues. Using the pfisteria theory. The catastrophe happened in the town on New Born, North Carolina. Whereby the residents woke up to realise that the water in the river Neuse has become red. More than a billion of fish died and people working near the river were covered with sores.
The cause was found to be water pollution. With the pig farm which was located further up the river, as the source of pollution. Pig waste was released into the river, causing a genetic mutation in marine microorganism called pfisteria.This caused them to become lethal.
Therefore, the first 6 plague can be explained with the theory of pollution. Whereby, the water became red as the fish dies, followed by frogs which avoided the river died on the shore, and then attracting flies and lice, and they transmit disease to the livestock, and result in death.
There were two other theories as well, the volcano theory and santorini. (visit the link for details)
==========================================================
Conclusion:
I don't believe in the volcano theory, but whichever the cause of the 10 plagues, be it the pfiteria theory, the santorini or volcano theory, as we can see, pollution can cause a series of death of species due to their relation. They are affected in one way or another. So we should protect our environment and not let it be polluted! In order not to let the story of these 10 plagues to happen in this world again.
