Page 107 - The Creation Of The Universe

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 105

It is Allah Who made the earth a stable home for you and the sky
a dome, and formed you, giving you the best of forms, and pro-
vided you with good and wholesome things. That is Allah, your
Lord. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. (Surah Ghafir:
64)
It is He Who made the earth submissive to you, so walk its broad
trails and eat what it provides. The Resurrection is to Him.
(Surat al-Mulk: 15)

The Equilibriums that Make Life Possible
The things we have mentioned so far are just a few of the delicate equi-
libriums that are essential for life on Earth. Examining the earth, we can
make the list of the "essential factors for life" a long as we please. The
American astronomer Hugh Ross has made a list of his own:

Surface Gravity;
- If stronger: atmosphere would retain too much ammonia and methane
- If weaker: planet's atmosphere would lose too much water

Distance From Parent Star;
- if farther: planet would be too cool for a stable water cycle
- if closer: planet would be too warm for a stable water cycle

Thickness of crust;
- if thicker: too much oxygen would be transferred from the atmosphere
to the crust
- if thinner: volcanic and tectonic activity would be too great

Rotation period;
-If longer: diurnal temperature differences would be too great
-If shorter: atmospheric wind velocities would be too great

Gravitational interaction with Moon;
- If greater: tidal effects on the oceans, atmosphere, and rotational peri-
od would be too severe
