Genesis 1:28:
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth
Why replenish?
Because the author of the King James bible decided it?
New King James:
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it
Contemporary English:
God gave them his blessing and said: Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control.
Message:
God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Just to mention a few variants. Most I see have the "subdue" version in various forms. To REALLY answer the question "why replenish", one need the exact translation of the original bible in hebrew (a stage between that would be seeing what the latin bible say). Unfortunely, I dont know hebrew (or latin).

Ok, well i don't know about that particular ascension, so i guess you are right about that one?
But there still remain many magnificent quotes and passages listed in the Mahabharate that have been correctly translated. Some of them really resemble history lessons of other races.
What if the pyramids were nothing more than nuclear shelters for the rich and elite of the day?
