"Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you." - Romans 16:16
"Divine Design”
Most of us know that God spoke all things into existence (Hebrews 11:3), but we may not be fully aware of some of the things He did to make life on earth possible.
It is the presence of the liquid water in our bodies that provides the medium in which all the biochemical processes of life take place; without liquid water, we could not exist.
One reason water is a liquid on earth is because God made solid water (ice) lighter than liquid water so that it floats; if ice did not float, the lakes and seas would freeze from the bottom up and never thaw out.
Also, the earth is ideally placed in the solar system; it is at exactly the right distance from the sun, it rotates on its axis at exactly the right speed, and it is tilted at exactly the right angle.
This Divine design ensures the daily cycles of warmth and coolness and the seasonal cy-cles of summer and winter so that most of the water on earth is liquid and is neither always boiling nor always frozen.
Then God constructed all life on earth out of carbon atoms, which makes the life cycle possible where carbon from the air is taken in by plants, consumed by animals, and then released back into the air.
He put the chlorophyll molecule into the leaves of plants to capture the energy from the sun within sugar compounds that are built out of carbon dioxide from the air and out of water from the soil.
God put the hemoglobin molecule into our bloodstreams to carry oxygen to our cells where these sugars are “burned”, releasing the sun’s energy, as well as carbon dioxide and water back into the air and soil.
Then God gave the earth an iron core, which creates a magnetic field that diverts the harmful charged particles of the sun away from us; otherwise, the biochemicals we need for life would be destroyed.
This was not serendipity, a “happy” accident; God put the universe together in perfect harmony so that we could live in His miraculous garden after He had created us out of the dust of the earth (Job 38:4 – 7, Isaiah 40:26, and Genesis 2:7 and 8).
And then God showed His confidence in us by giving us dominion and stewardship over His entire creation (Genesis 1:26 and 2:15).
