• Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose” Richard Dawkins, professor of zoology at Oxford University and an aggressive proponent of the theory of evolution, (Dawkins, p. 1, emphasis added). While admitting that living things give the appearance of purposeful design, Professor Dawkins does not consider the obvious—that, if they appear to have been designed, maybe they were designed.

 

  • Some scientists have concluded, that Earth may be the only planet in the universe that harbours life because the conditions necessary for life are so exacting that the possibility of life on other planets is infinitesimal.

  • Unlike every other planet yet discovered, earth is a shimmering blue ball finely tuned for life to exist and thrive. Is this fine tuning accidental?

 

  • Earth’s size and position Another condition that makes the Earth hospitable for life is its size, which determines its gravity and in turn affects its atmosphere. If earth were only a little larger, making its gravity slightly stronger, hydrogen, a light gas, would be unable to escape Earth’s gravity and would collect in our atmosphere, making it inhospitable to life.

 

Yet, if Earth were only slightly smaller, oxygen—necessary for life—would escape, and water would evaporate. Thus, if Earth were slightly larger or smaller, human life could not have existed on Earth.
