I cannot understand the regularity of the
stars, this harmony of time and motion in their
various orbits through all eternity, except as
the expression of reason, mind and
purpose (Roman Philosopher Cicero via
Tornado In A Junkyard by J. Perloff, p. 124)
Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the
solar system, I see the earth at the right
distance from the sun to receive the proper
amounts of heat and light. This did not happen
by chance. (Isaac Newton via Tornado
In A Junkyard by J. Perloff, p. 126)

III. THE ORIGIN OF NATURES ORDER
If the earth were closer to the sun it would
boil. If the earth were farther form the sun it
would freeze. If the moon was closer or bigger,
tides would flood the coastlines. Earths 24
hour rotation keeps it at even temperatures. Venu
s takes 243 days to rotate Earth has water in
liquid form, when most other planets dont even
have water.
THE EARTH SHOWS PURPOSE DESIGN BY GOD!
