Halo Empire, I never said MC was Jesus, but he is definately saving Earth, and the Earth is definately the Ark.
There is also no reason whatsoever to have a whole entire Halo under Earth's crust when all you need is a few key buildings. -blam!- man, get it through your head.
This following theory is one I thought up, and wrote in about 8 minutes. It's ot very good, but try to enjoy it anyway. It's more plausible than HE's in my opinion..

Both sides of the arguement hold weight.
But, its OBVIOUS that the structure underneath the earth is the ark. Just like it is OBVIOUS that humans are forerunners. Think about it, when you play Halo 3, are you going to be more pleased if every single person on the forum was right, and it turns out we are the forerunners, or will you be more interested and surprised if Bungie came up with a different idea?
What if the Forerunners are not one race, but a group of Races in the same civilization like the Covenant in 2552...
This theory isn't a very good one, but I can show that I can come up with a more likely to come true theory than the thread starter. Here it goes.
Forerunner's gods are never mentioned...now either they had no gods, cause they believe this idea is stupid...or they had a god/gods.
What if the Prophets were their gods (or just religious / military leaders like they are now), and the Humans in the civilization grew tired of the Prophets reign (like the Elites do in Halo 2), and rise up against them...they build the Halos secretly, and then the Ark.
The Flood could be a fluke, and used to keep the Prophets' attention off of the rings' construction.
They scatter clues all over Forerunner planets, and since the Humans are the ones who made the rings...maybe they are the only ones to be reclaimers (or not, since we never saw a Prophet go after an index)
Okay, now comes the strange part..they make the final checks and place embryos on the PLanet Earth (theory of evolution), or hide on Earth (we were placed here a la the Bible)...the Rings are unleashed and all the civilizations die except for the humans on Earth..
The Prophets could easily re-evolve on their homeworld, and it being the homeworld for the old Covenant / Forerunners (Forerunner seems like a title, rather than a race), there is more tech.
The Prophets could also theoretically survive in slipspace, or warped slipspace..
They learn of what happened after years and years, then they wait. Wait for help. Once the Elites start evolving, and become smart - war is waged and after being put into submission the New Covenant is formed.
The Covenant go around and assimilate different species gaining closer and closer on their ultimate goal - to use the humans' weapons on them before they remember what they are.
All the while they are using their original technology, and hiding the truth from the Covenant, saying that the humans are an affront to the gods (though we went through the same bull -blam!- the nw Covenant went through, but possibly, for longer.)
How's that for a theory?
Not too good, I know, but it would be a nice twist to things..maybe Prohpets are telling the truth, though we only did what we had to do, for the greater good. We didn't want more species to be under the Prophets control, so we got rid of them)
