“In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Intelligent
Design vs Incredible Coincidence? What do you think?
In spite of a
lot of deep space exploration, we have discovered no other planet suitable for
human life. There is nothing else out there, no other home for us. If the earth
were any closer to the sun, we would burn up. If we were farther away,
everything would freeze. Where we are is perfect. No planet is like ours!
In addition to
our planet earth, we have also been given a moon! The moon keeps our oceans
alive. The daily tides are not too big, not too small – in a word, perfect. If
the moon were larger, tides would be like perpetual tsunami. And without tides,
the ocean would stagnate and die. The way tides are is perfect, and it’s
because of the moon.
Do all planets
have water? Most don’t, but ours does. With most substances, the solid form is
more dense than the liquid form, but water is the exception. The solid form is
lighter – ice floats, right? This is why lakes freeze from the top down, ice on
top, liquid underneath, so fresh-water aquatic creatures can survive.
Vegetation
uses our carbon dioxide as part of photosynthesis, and in turn gives us oxygen,
which mankind needs to survive. There always seems to be enough oxygen to go
around – I’d say God has our back on this one. The ratio seems to be ideal.
For life as we
know it to come into existence, far too many things have to be exactly right
for me to believe it’s a coincidence. I’m sticking with Intelligent Design!
