maybe,just maybe the forerunners designed a way to destroy the flood with out killing everything else but havnt been able to perfect it or were to scared if it would backfire
That's what most people recon the Arc is. Like Noah's Arc, it protects you from the flood, although in this case, it's actually the blast from the Halo's rings, and not the Flood directly.
It makes sense when you think about it. What's the point in stoppping the Flood from destroying all life, if the only way they can do it is by destroying all life? There's no point. You might as well just jump of cliff, at least you wont waste the time and energy making enourmous space habitats.
This of course leads to the theory that humans are the Forerunners: since the Arc is on earth, humans emerged from the arc. I recon however, that the humans evolved from life that emerged from the Arc, which ofcourse means the Forerunners could still be alive...
