Consider some of these amazing aspects of design that are evident in our solar system: 1) The earth is positioned at just the right distance from thr sun so that we receive exactly the proper amoutn of heat to support life. The other planets of our solar system are either too close to the sun or else to far to sustain life. 2) Any appreciable change in the rate of rotation of the earth would make life impossible. for example, if the earth were to rotate at 1/10th its present rate, all plant life would either be burned to a crisp during the day or frozen at night. 3) Temperature variations are kept within reasonable limits due to the nearly circular orbit of the earth around the sun. 4) The moon revolves around the earth at a distance of about 240,000 miles, causing harmless tides on the earth. if the moon were located 1/5th of this distance away, the continents would be completely submerged twice a day! 5) The thickness of the earths crust and the depth of the oceans appear to be carefully designed. Increases in thickness or depth of only a few feet would so drastically alter the absorption of free oxygen and carbon dioxide that plant and animal life could not exist. 6) The earths axis is tilted 23 degrees from the perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. the tilting, combined with the earths revolution around the sun, causes our seasons, which are absolutely essential for the raising of food supplies. 7) the earths atmosphere (especially the ozone layer) serves as a protective shield from lethal solar ultraviolet radiation, which would otherwise destroy all life. 8) The earths atmosphere also serves to protect the earth by burning up approximately twenty million meteors each day that enter it at speeds of about 30 miles/per second! Without this crucial protection, the danger to life would be immense. 9) the two primary constituents of the earths atmosphere are nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (20%). This delicate and critical ratio is essential to all life forms. 10) The magnetic field provides important protection from harmful cosmic radiation. AND ALL THIS HAPPENED BY CHANCE? What does your logic say as you consider the evidence?
