0:00.0	It's Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Moller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:13.0	Well, what if I told you that we could take an extinct species and bring it back?
0:18.0	What if I told you that right now there are some white, cute, cuddly wolf cubs,
0:23.1	and that they are living representatives of a species that have been for thousands of years extinct?
