Consider Intelligent Design as a theory of origins. The fine tuning required for us to be here is beyond reason. The Earth’s precise placement with a large Moon to keep the Earth in a consistent tilt of 23.5°, Earth’s magnetic field protects from harmful solar and cosmic rays. The oceans provide a natural thermostat for our climate, our Sun emits much of its energy in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum where water is most transparent to light, an inherent property of water.
The solid form of water floats. This is unusual for a compound. If the solid form of water were denser than the liquid phase, the oceans would have frozen over a long ago, preventing any chance of life surviving.
The liquid form of water is only transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (an inherent property of water). The maximum output of the sun’s energy is in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum, right where water is most transparent to light. These two inherent properties of water (solid form floats, transparent to visible light) and the sun’s perfect surface temperature allowed life on earth to proliferate.
The atmosphere as a protective layer for life on the surface. The ability of life to create and maintain a suitable environment for proliferation. Bio-feeback mechanisms that prevent the environment from becoming hostile to life. The Earth’s magnetic field protects life on Earth from high energy particles emitted by the Sun. Movements of molten rock deep in the Earth generate a magnetic dynamo which provides a strong magnetic field to protect life on Earth.
Mars has a solid core and a weak magnetic field. When Mars core cooled and solidified it lost the ability to protect the surface from solar and cosmic rays. Loss of a magnetic field may have enhanced the loss of lakes and rivers of liquid water on the surface of Mars. Eventually most of the atmosphere boiled off into space leaving a thin remnant of CO2, only 1% of the Earth’s surface pressure.
If you see the pictures of the machinery in the cell, I’m talking gears and everything, you would not say that arrived by accident. It would be like saying the stick shift in your car just came together like that one day.
