128 THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

Considering the importance of visible sunlight for all aspects of terres-
trial life, one can not help being awed by the dramatically narrow win-
dow in the atmosphere absorption and in the absorption spectrum of
water. 75

Conclusion
Materialist philosophy and Darwinism, which takes materialism as its

source, both claim that human life appeared in the universe by chance and
that it is an "accident" with no purpose whatsoever. The knowledge that is
being gained through advances in science however is showing that, in
every detail of the universe, there is an order and a plan which is created
to make life possible. It is such an order that, even such a component as
light, which we might never have thought about before, is so clearly "just
right" that one can't help but be amazed.
To try and explain such perfect structure as "accidental" is irrational. The
fact that all the Sun's radiation is constricted to a narrow band just 1/10 25
of the total electromagnetic spectrum, the fact that the light necessary for
life falls precisely within that narrow band, the fact that the atmosphere
blocks all other wavelengths of radiation and admits just these, the fact that

Although it blocks all other forms of radiation, water allows
visible light to penetrate into its depth for many meters.
Because of this, sea plants are able to perform photosynthe-
sis. If water did not have this property, the ecological bal-
ance necessary for life on our planet could not have come in-
to being.
