The Site is About Creation Verses Evolution. It has some Great Videos too.
Are we Humans just �Lucky� to be Alive? Considering the Astronomical Odds of Life being �Created� by Random Chance Processes? Francis Crick�Co-Discoverer of DNA said:
�An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle.�
(Francis Crick (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology and Medicine, Life Itself, Its Origin and Nature (1981), p. 88)
Please Note�this Statement is coming from a Very Famous Evolutionist!
Do you Realize that The Earth is Situated in EXACTLY the Perfect Spot for Life to Florish? Let�s begin with Our Universe. Dr. Robin Collins States in �The Case for a Creator�
�Over the Past Thirty Years or so, Scientists have Discovered that just about Everything about the Basic Structure of The Universe is Balanced on a Razor�s Edge� (Quoted in Lee Strobel , The Case for a Creator Grand Rapids, Mi. Zondervan, 2004), 131
More than 35 Characteristics and Physical Laws of The Universe have to �Exactly� So��Minutely� Tooled to a �Razor Sharpness� or Life Would Not Be Able to SURVIVE! (Hugh Ross, The Creator and the Cosmos 3rd Edition Colorado Springs, Co. NavPress, 2001), 224
Let�s Examine just a few of them:
1. The Expansion Rate � Stephen Hawkings Writes in A Brief History of Time (New York, Bantam, 1990), 121-122 � �If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size.� The Expansion Rate �Had� to be Large enough to be able to �Continue� Forward.
2. The Expansion Rate had to be �Controlled� � If The Expansion Rate had been even a �Fraction� Stronger�the Strength of Gravity would have been too Strong for Stars and Planets to Form. Were we �Lucky� or What? (John D. Barrow and George Silk, The Left Hand of Creation: The Origin and Evolution of the Expanding Universe, New York, Basic, 1983) 206
3. The Strength of Gravity � If the Gravitational Force were Altered by 1.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 Percent �Neither Our Sun�Nor The Earth (or Any Planet or Star) would Exist. In Other Words�we would not be having This Conversation � we wouldn�t Exist! Again I Ask You�are we Lucky�or what? (Lawrence M. Krauss, �The End of the Age Problem and the Case for a Cosmological Constant Revisted� Astrophysical Journal 501 (1998) 461-466
4. The Density of �Space Energy� � The Precision of the Density of Space Energy is �Incredibly � Precise! This �Fine Tuning� is to the Proportion of One Part in 10 to the 120 Power! That is 10 with 120 Zeros! (Ibid 187)
These are just 4 of the over 35 Characteristics and Physical Forces in The Universe that are so Incredibly Finely Tuned in Order for Life to be Able to Survive. These are just for The Universe. When you come to Our Galaxy�there are more Incredibly Fine Tuning Involved and some �Amazing Luck�.
It is Estimated that there are Approximately One Trillion Galaxies in The Universe. It is Difficult to Believe (but True) that with All those Galaxies�that Most of them are Inhospitable to Life! In Order for a galaxy to be able to Sustain Life it must have Certain Criteria�Certain Conditions.
1. The Galaxy must be a Spiral Galaxy
Our Galaxy is Perhaps the Only Galaxy that has just the Right Conditions�the Right Amount of Elements necessary to maintain the Right Balance of Stars and Planets required to Support Life. Other Galaxies�Galaxies that are Older, Smaller, Elliptical, and Irregular�are Missing the Proper Amounts of Elements.
Stars have been Known to �Explode� (Go SuperNova). When this Occurs they Flood their �Neighborhood� with Deadly Radiation�Impacting nearby Stars and Planets. The Center and Arms of Galaxies are Flooded with High Amounts of Deadly Radiation. Most Stars are Located in places with Too Much Harmful Energy for Life to Survive.
Our Solar System is Located about Two-Thirds of the way out toward The Edge of the Milky Way, where we are Least Likely to Suffer Collisions with Other Stars. Most of the Stars in Our Galaxy are in the Larger Spiral Arms or in The Center. Because there are few Stars Close to us, the Amount of Radiation Surrounding Our Solar System is Low.
2. The Galaxy cannot be Too Large
If Our Galaxy was just even a �Little� bit Larger�it would Generate Too Much Gravitational Disturbances and Too Much Radiation for Life to Survive.
3. The Galaxy cannot be Too Small
The Earths Orbit would not be a Stable One if Our Galaxy was Smaller. Also the �Supply� of Heavy Elements such as Iron and Carbon would be Inadequate. Boy�this is starting to Sound like a Goldilocks Tale.
Finally we Come to Our Solar System.
There are Thousands of Asteroids and Meteoroids in Our Solar System that will sometimes Collide with the Planets in Our Solar System. Jupiter keeps these Asteroids and Meteoroids (and Comets) from hitting The Earth by Either Blocking them or Attracting them with its Strong Gravitational �Pull� and Mars does the same thing on Our Otherside.
Our Unusually Large Moon also acts as a Barrier that protects us from many of the Space Objects that Cross Our Planet's Path. The Craters across The Moon's Surface Attest to the Frequency of Collisions with the Moon instead of The Earth. The Moon's South Pole�The Aitken Basin�is the lLargest known Crater in Our Solar System. It is Eight Miles Deep and 1500 Miles Across.
Our Huge Moon (compared to the other moons in Our Solar System) is also a Stabilizing Anchor for Our Planet. Our Moon Prevents Our Planet from Tilting too Far Caused by The Attraction of The Sun or Jupiter. Our Moon also is a Major Cause for Our Tides and Seasons.
If We had DESIGNED Our Solar System�we could not have done any Better. We are Protected because of The Way Our Solar System is Created.
Here are a Few More Characteristics and Forces that have to be �Just Right� for Us to be Able to Survive.
1 The Sun is �Positioned� at the Most Beneficial �Spot� in Our Galaxy -- Far Enough from The Center to Avoid the Intense Radioactivity there.
2 The Mass of Our Sun is not Too Large -- If it was even just a Fraction Larger�it would Burn too Quickly and Erratically and it would not be Efficient Enough to Support Life.
3 The Mass of Our Sun is not Too Small � If Our Sun was just a Fraction Smaller�it�s Greater Solar Flaring would Disrupt Our Earth�s Rotation Rate.
4 Our Sun�s �Metal Content� � Only 2 Percent of All Stars have Enough Metal Content to be Able to Form Stars. Too Much metal Content will Allow Too many Planets to Form and you would End Up with a �Hockey Match�. Once Again�Just Like GoldiLocks�Our Sun is �Just Right�.
5 Our Moon is of the �Perfect� Size. � Without Our Moon the �Tilt� of Our Earth�s Axis would Swing Widely over a Large Range. Our �Seasons� would Also have a Larger Range of Temperatures. Winters and Summers would be as much as 100 Degrees Colder and Hotter than they are Now�Brrr!...no wait�where�s the Pool?
Here are More Things to Consider. The Earth was Created for Life. If The Earth was a Smaller Planet, like Mars, it would be Unable to Hold Our Atmosphere. It is Our Atmosphere that Protects us from any Meteoroids that get Passed Jupiter or Mars or Our Moon and Keeps the Temperature within the Range Needed for Life to Survive.
If The Earth was Larger (say like Neptune) it would Trap too much Atmosphere. A Larger Atmosphere would mean Higher Pressure and a Higher Temperature. A Larger Planet would also mean a Stronger Gravity which would Trap Harmful Gases in The Atmosphere (like Neptune). Earth has a Strong Magnetic Field that Protects us from Harmful Radiation. Also:
1 Water � Our Earth is 75 Percent Water. Water is Essential for Life to be able to Survive. It is not as Abundant in The Universe as You would Think.
2 Oxygen � Our Earth is the Only Planet in Our Solar System that has an Atmosphere that is Breathable. Our Earth�s Size is �Perfect� to �Hold� just the Right Amount of Oxygen.
3 The Distance to Our Sun � If Our Earth was just One Percent Closer to Our Sun�Our Oceans Would Vaporize! If it was just Two Percent Further away�Our Oceans Would Freeze and there would not be any Rain! In Other Words�Life Would Not Exist!
4 Plate Tectonic Activity � Scientists have Determined that if the Plate Tectonics were Greater�GreenHouse Gas Reductions would OverCompensate for Increasing Solar Luminosity and Human Life Could Not be Sustained. On the Other Hand�if Plate Activity was Less � Life Essential Nutrients Would Not be Recycled Adequately and GreenHouse Gas Reduction Would Not Compensate for Increased Luminosity.
5 Ozone Level in Our Atmosphere � If the Ozone Level was either Greater or Lesser�Plant Growth Would be Inadequate for Human Life to Exist.
These are just a �Few� of the Things that have to be �Just Right� for Life to Exist and Survive. University of Washington Professors Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee write in their Book, Rare Earth ��not only intelligent life but even the simplest of animal life is exceedingly rare in our galaxy and in the universe.� (Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee, Rare Earth, New York, Copernicus, 2000)
When we �Look� Out into The Universe what we See is Countless Numbers of �Dead��Cold�Lifeless Planets. It is Ludicrous to �Think� that out of all those Planets�Ours is the Only One Inhabited�Yet�that most likely is the Case. All that Work�All that �Real Estate� for such an Unappreciative Race of People? God Did This ALL FOR YOU and Me!
Have you Thanked Him Lately?
