Part one: the Cosmic
A year or so ago, I watched a movie called “The Privileged Planet.” I highly recommend it. The title states its case completely. There are many variables that define our planet that “just happen” to align. Let me list a few.
Our planet is the correct distance from the sun for life to exist. All life requires water to exist, and if our planet were much closer or farther from the sun, all our water would evaporate or freeze respectively.
Our atmosphere has the right mixture of gases for survival. With less oxygen, we would suffocate. With more, our atmosphere could be ignited by a single spark, and would burn up.
The moon is the right distance and size so that it stabilizes the Earth’s rotation. It also controls the sea tides, which help keep the water clean.
These are only a few elements that are perfectly correct in our planet. One more very interesting one is that we are positioned in our galaxy with the ability to see and explore outer space. If we were closer to the center of our galaxy, or even within one of the spiral bands, we would not be able to see into space at all.
There are other elements that define us that go much deeper than the eye can see, but I’ll get into those on the next post.

Those variables clearly show that there is a supernatural deity that designed all this. That deity is our awesome God.
That reminds me of a movie I watched recently. It also had a similar statement about the sun.
God Bless!
Yeah, I love watching "Planet Earth". I helps us to grasp a concept that earth couldn't possibly turn itself into what it is currently. A creator is imminent.
Please don't stop blogging again and check out mine as well.
