The Fine Tuning of the Earth and Its Climate
The Bible teaches that the Earth and its climate were designed by God for our benefit. There are several remarkable things about our planet that make it habitable for human beings including the Earth’s mass, distance from sun, axial tilt, atmosphere, magnetic field, rotational speed, orbital shape, and the presence of a large moon. Our solar system possesses a unique and special star and has a gas giant like Jupiter with a larger orbit. Even the location of our solar system in the Milky Way galaxy is special. Many of the aforementioned properties of the Earth and solar system make Earth’s climate suitable for us. The habitability of the Earth requires that liquid water be present because all biochemistry requires water.
