PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF EARTH AND SOLAR SYSTEM NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE
(This is a summary of the table; the actual graphic couldn't be included
here)
Derived from "The Creator and the Cosmos" by Hugh Ross, Copyright 1993,
used by permission of NavPress.
There must be one sun (or "parent star") to support life. ---

* If more than one sun in planetary system, tidal interactions would
disrupt planetary orbits.
* If no sun in planetary system, heat produced would be insufficient for
life.
The distance from the earth to the sun is just as it must be to support
life.
* If the earth was farther from the sun, the planet would be too cool
for a stable water cycle.
* If the earth was closer to the sun, the planet would be too warm for a
stable water cycle.
The atmosphere has the correct mixture of gases: 78% nitrogen, 21%
oxygen, .93% Argon, .035% carbon dioxide and .035% other gases.
* If the atmosphere had 25% oxygen or more, spontaneous fires would
break out because oxygen is flammable.
* If the atmosphere had 15% oxygen or less, air breathing creatures
would suffocate.
* If the atmosphere had more carbon dioxide, the earth may become warmer
(greenhouse effect).
* If the atmosphere had less carbon dioxide, plants would starve. The
surface gravity escape velocity is as it must be to support life.
* If just a few percent stronger, the atmosphere would retain methane
and ammonia (molecular weights 16 and 17 ).
* If just a few percent weaker, the planet's atmosphere would lose too
much water (molecular weight 18).
Tilt of earth's axis (23.5 degrees) gives us our moderate seasons.
* If the tilt was greater-for example, Uranus has a 98 degree tilt- such
a tilt on earth would cause periodic continental flooding and long
periods of darkness.
* If the earth's tilt was less - for example, Venus has no tilt -the
lack of tilt would cause equatorial areas to grow hotter and the ice
caps to expand.
Proximity of moon is correct.
* If 1/5 the distance away, tides would completely submerge continents
twice a day.
* If no close moon, the earth would "wobble", as does Mars, causing vast
irregularities of tilt, thus extreme variations in climate.
Rate of earth's rotation is correct.
* If 1/10th the present rate, plant life would burn during the day and
freeze at night.
* If faster, wind velocities would rise to catastrophic levels. For
example, Jupiter has a 10-hour rotation period and thousand mph winds.
Thickness of the earth's crust is correct.
* If the crust was thicker, too much oxygen would be transferred from
the atmosphere to the crust.
* If the crust was thinner, volcanic and tectonic activity would be too
great.
The water vapor level in the atmosphere is as it should be.
* If the water vapor level was greater, runaway greenhouse effect would
develop.
* If water vapor level was less, rainfall would be too meager for
advanced life on the land.
Color of the sun is correct.
* If the sun was more red, the photosynthetic response would be
insufficient.
* If the sun was more blue, the photosynthetic response would be
insufficient.
WHAT DOES THIS TELL US ABOUT GOD?
That he doesn't exist...
