Named after the Roman city of Pompeii, whkh was buried by lava and ashes from thevolcano Mount Ve$uvlus In 79 AD, the Pompell worm is a tubę worm that lives on underwater wlcanic vents in the ocean. The Pompeii worni is smali, no morę than 13 centimetres (5 inches) in length. But what it lacks in size, it makes upfbr in its amazing ability to withstand high temperatures.

The Pompeii worm Ihres studc to the sldes of black smokers, which look like chimneys on the deep ocean floor.The water that pours out of the chimneys is heated by magma, or mołten rock, as it seeps out of cracks ln theearttfs crust. At Its tali end, the Pompell worm Is In almost-boiling water, around 160 degrees Fahrenheit, or 71 degrees Celslus. Ifs a mystery how the worms can llve at thls temperaturę without being cooked alive.

The Pompell worm doesrft squlrm In agony nor shriek with pain in its super-hot tub home, because God created it to live comfbrtably ln those conditions. Our loving Father would get no pleasurefrom lnflktlng paln upon a llttle worm, much less from forever torturlng humans madę in His own image. Sadly, many people believe God will keep wkked people allve forever so He can watch them bum endlessly ln hellflre. Thls teaching makes our klnd, merclful Creator look like a cruel ogre and keeps people afraid of Him, which of course, makes Satan very happy.
