The belief that the earth and it's creations just suddenly appeared is beyond comprehension for me, for surely it would be harder to believe that sort of a hypothesis that all things just came together perfectly on their own, organized and fashioned in a manner after which life could dwell upon; than that of the truth; that is of divine creations and belongs to Him.
Let us rejoice in His perfect creations for us as we consider these facts-
Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly
with no end. But here are a few:
The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and
corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases,
only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller,
an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were
larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.3 Earth is the
only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to
sustain plant, animal and human life.
The Earth is located the right distance from
the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to
+120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all
freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the
Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth
remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a
speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the
entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day.
And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth
for its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement
so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from
spilling over across the continents.
Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no
living thing can survive without it. Plants, animals and human beings consist
mostly of water (about two-thirds of the human body is water). You'll see why
the characteristics of water are uniquely suited to life:
It has an unusually high boiling point and freezing point.
Water allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperature changes,
while keeping our bodies a steady 98.6 degrees.
Water is a universal solvent. This property of
water means that various chemicals, minerals and nutrients can be carried
throughout our bodies and into the smallest blood vessels.
Water is also chemically neutral. Without affecting the
makeup of the substances it carries, water enables food, medicines and minerals
to be absorbed and used by the body.
Water the Earth's water is in the oceans. But on our Earth,
there is a system designed which removes salt from the water and then
distributes that water throughout the globe. Evaporation takes the ocean
waters, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind
to disperse water over the land, for vegetation, animals and people. It is a
system of purification and supply that sustains life on this planet, a system
of recycled and reused water has a unique surface tension. Water in plants can
therefore flow upward against gravity, bringing life-giving water and nutrients
to the top of even the tallest trees.
Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live
in the winter.
