The failed Biosphere 2 experiment of the early 1990’s illustrates what the Bible said all along. Scriptures are interspersed throughout this article amidst quotes from the BBC article about Biosphere 2.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
“How the Biosphere 2 experiment changed our understanding of the Earth—July 5, 2025
In the early 1990s, a small team tried to survive in a hermetically sealed space containing replicas of Earth’s ecosystems. Their trials and discoveries still have repercussions today.
Glittering in the vast expanses of the Arizona desert lies a structure that seems torn straight out of the pages of science fiction.
Inside a massive complex of glass pyramids, domes and towers, spread across three acres (1.2 hectares), stands a tropical rainforest topped by a 25ft (7.6m) waterfall, a savannah and a fog desert. They sit alongside a mangrove-studded wetland and an ocean larger than an Olympic swimming pool which includes its own living coral reef.
It’s seemingly a little capsule of Earth, which is why the structure is called Biosphere 2 – named after our own planet, Biosphere 1.
The desolate landscape forms the perfect backdrop for the futuristic experiment that once took place here. In the early 1990s, eight people locked themselves inside, sealed off from the outside world for two years, to explore the challenges of living in a self-contained system – a prerequisite for building colonies in outer space. They fed themselves from the crops they grew, they recycled their own wastewater and they tended to the plants that produced their oxygen.
