such as mountain chains and oceans to break up the path of such
potential strong air currents. These are, from east to west, the
Himalayas beginning in China, the Taurus Mountains in
Anatolia, and the Alps in Western Europe; the Atlantic Ocean in
the West, and the Pacific in the East. Excess heat produced
around the equator is modified toward the north and south as
the ocean waters balance temperature fluctuations in a gradual,
controlled manner.

There are also self-regulating climate control mechanisms.
For instance, if any particular area is exposed to excessive heat,
water evaporation increases accordingly. Clouds condense in the
sky, reflecting some of the Sun’s radiation and thus preventing
any further increase of surface temperatures.
Many independent factors such as the Earth’s distance to
the Sun, its speed of rotation, angle of axis, and surface struc-

tures all play their part in keeping surface temperature at levels
necessary to sustain life as well as even out heat distribution.
Those who reject the notion that the distance between the
Sun and the Earth is intentional argue that many stars in the uni-
verse, both larger and smaller than our own Sun, have their own
planetary systems. If a star is much more massive than our Sun,
than any planet ideal for life would need to be at a greater dis-
tance than is the Sun from the Earth. For instance, a planet or-
biting a red giant at a distance of our Pluto could have a mild cli-

mate suitable for life, like the one we enjoy here on Earth.
But this proposition is invalid for one very important rea-
son: It does not take into account that stars of different mass emit
different radiation. A star’s mass, correlated to its surface tem-
perature, determines the wavelength of its emitted radiation. For
