Lesson 4: Details of Earth’s Creation

We continue looking at more of the proof out there that shows us how everything is a product of design and not chance or luck. We focus on the design of the universe and earth.

The Force of Gravity: If the force of gravity was 1% higher, our sun would be much bigger and life on earth would cook! If the force were 1% less than the sun would be too small and we would freeze! Either way, No Life!

The Nuclear Force: If there were a very slight increase in nuclear force then the chemicals of life, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, would be almost non-existent. And a very slight decrease in the force and the only element in the universe would be hydrogen. Either way, No Life!

Electromagnetic Coupling Constant: If it were slightly stronger or weaker then molecules could not exist. Either way, No Life!

Expansion Rate of The Universe: If this rate were a few percent slower, then all the matter in the universe would collapse into a ball. If it were slightly faster, then galaxies and stars would not have formed. Either way, No Life!

Distance Between Stars: If the distance between the stars was just a few percent closer or further away, this would destabilize the planetary orbits around the sun and the earth would not be capable of supporting life. Either way, No Life!

 Gravity on Earth: A slight increase in earth's gravity and the atmosphere would retain too much ammonia and methane, which are toxic to life. A slight decrease in gravity and the atmosphere would lose too much water. Either way, No Life!

 Earth's Distance from the Sun: If the earth was a few percent farther from the sun, the earth would be too cool and the entire planet would freeze over. If the earth were a few percent closer to the sun, the waters of the earth would boil. Either way, No Life!


 The Earth's Rotation Time: If the earth's rotation were increased by a few percent, then temperature differences would be too great to support life. If the rotation time were a little slower, then atmospheric wind velocities would wipe out all life. Either way, No Life!

Size of the Moon: If the moon were slightly smaller, then the tides and winds would be too small and the earth would overheat. If the moon were slightly bigger, this would result in ferocious winds and massive tides that would flood the earth twice a day! (By the way, you can only comfortably drown once in a day!) Either way, No Life!

Now please keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the information that has been discovered revealing that all of life is intricately designed. And remember, design implies a designer.

We continue in the next lesson with the design in our own bodies.

* Memorize: Isaiah 1:18 - Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
