-- The mass and size of the earth:  if the earth was 10% larger or
smaller, life would not be possible on our planet.

-- If the distance of our earth from the sun was any closer or further
from the sun, like that of Mercury or Venue, we would freeze or burn.

-- The tilt of the earth (23 degrees) is unlike any other planet in
our solar system.  Without this tilt, one portion of the earth would 
freeze and another would be too hot for us to live.

-- The moon makes it possible for us to live.  Without it, our oceans
would be giant cesspools, making it impossible for us to live near
them.  The tide created by the gravitational pull of the moon aerates
the ocean, providing oxygen for the plankton, which is a major food
source for sea life.

-- Our atmosphere is unique to any other atmosphere in the known
universe.  It is comprised of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other
various trace elements.  If it was any thinner, we would be crushed by
space debris.  

-- The nitrogen is necessary for plant life and is replenished by 
lightning.

-- The ozone is some 40 miles up.  It blocks 8 killer rays, preventing
us from burning and from being blinded.  At the same time, it allows
necessary rays to kill algae and prevent destructive overgrowth.

WATER:

-- As ICE, it breaks up rocks and produces soil.
-- As SNOW, it stores up water in valleys.
-- As RAIN, it waters and cleanses the earth.
-- As VAPOR, provides moisture.
-- As CLOUD COVER, it covers 50% of the earth's surface, allowing the
right amount of light.  

-- It is the only substance other than Bismuth that is heavier at 4 
degrees Celsius, than it is at freezing.  When it is frozen, it rises
because it becomes lighter.  This saves the ocean and sea life from
being destroyed.  It also saves the algae, which in turn continues
the oxygen cycle that is required for us all to live.  

-- All other substances contract when they freeze, and expand when 
they are hot.  But not water; it does the opposite.


Isn't God's Providence awesome?!
