PART 1 THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE – GOD DESIGNED & CREATED THE ENTIRE COSMOS (SEE OPENING CHAPTERS OF GENESIS) TO ACCOMMODATE LIFE ON EARTH IN SYMBIO
Greetings all;

1. Many of the following parameters are associated with the alleged “Big Bang” theory or it’s ramifications. The author of this post is not an adherent of this theory, but since so many potential readers are, they have been included and prefaced with “***” as a visual way of differentiating them. If the parameter has applications to both the alleged “Big Bang” as well as the present state of affairs it will be denoted by “**”. This author is convinced the present age of the earth is billions of years old. This author also believes that human beings existed prior to the Biblical Adam and Eve based on: Genesis 1:27-28 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. The idea of replenishing the earth was addressed in § 4. g. 2. 6. This event occurred prior even to the first mentioning of Adam and Eve in Scripture. In Hebrew tradition this is tied up together with the “lilith” megillah and the “Where did Cain’s wife come from?” No doubt this will ire some readers who hold more orthodox views. Then came Adam and Eve and their son Cain. The question most often posed is “Where did Cain’s wife come from?” after reading: Genesis 4:17 “And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.”. The narrative is silent on the point of other females up to Cain slaying his brother Abel. In the Biblical narrative there were no other females yet born by which Cain could obtain a wife. Many will point out that women (daughters, even wives) sometimes do not get muck ink in Biblical recitals, which seems the case more often than not. Some have suggested that Cain married one of his sisters. Many feel uneasy with the idea of incestuous relations occurring so early on in scripture. However, the notion of “sister” need not be confined to a biological linkage; “sister” can mean a “sister” in faith, or in this case, a “normal” human being. The fact that “Nephilim”, the offsprings of fallen angels and human women, were present, “sister” could easily be construed to indicate a fellow human of the female gender. The reason for holding this view is that it was so seemingly easy for Cain to find a wife seems to follow quite naturally from Genesis 1:27-28, where man and woman were told to replenish the earth. This author, however, is firmly confident that only 6,000 years elapsed from Adam till the present (2008 A.D.). Numerous Christian sects have insisted that the earth itself is only 6,000 years old; but even scripture itself shows that that belief is error.
2. The following is a brief summation of the polemics against young earth theoreticians, which will serve as an introduction to the parameters which must be held is such close tolerance for life to exist. Unfortunately many Christian apologists have not read their earlier Hebrew counterparts, who also provided commentary on scripture passages. Much of this commentary is found in the Talmud, The Babylonian Talmud being more extensive than its counterpart, the Jerusalem Talmud. The Hebrew sages were quite amazed that the first letter in of Scripture was not the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Hebrew is read from right to left and the first letter is aleph, which looks something like a capital X in English. The sages noted that Hebrew, which proceeds from right to left, so too the illuminating and darkening of the moon in it’s phases. The second letter of the Hebrew alphabet is beit (pronounced like the English word “bait” – as what one uses to catch fish.). The Hebrew letter beit looks something like a capital block letter “C” only reversed in direction and underscored. The sages attributed the open-ended-ness to the left, that the physical world was unsearchably old (They obviously did not have access to some of the more reliable procedures available today.).
The sects of Christianity that insist that the physical world is only 6,000 – 12,000 years old apply much of their emphasis on several items: A) Cosmic dust accumulates on the surface of the moon. Using present deposition rates they retro-calculate the age of the earth/moon system to be in the 10,000 year “neighborhood”. The belief is based on a linear or constant deposition rate of dust; if it is in actuality nonlinear or simultaneously nonlinear and sporadic, their calculation collapse. The case for the latter (nonlinear and sporadic) is best as supernova explosions (the dust generators) indicate. B) Young earth theoreticians point to the “human” footprints along side of the dinosaurs footprints in the La Brea tar pits near Los Angeles USA to demonstrate that humans and dinosaurs were coetaneous. This puts man as contemporary with the dinosaurs and necessitates all of their kind as well as all present kinds of creatures on Noah’s ark. And since some of them would almost certainly be considered as Biblically clean animals Noah would have had to take in seven of that kind: Genesis 7:1-3 “And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.”. Noah’s logistical problems would certainly have reached an intolerant level. The observation that both sets of footprints were found “side-by-side” virtually guarantees that they did not occur simultaneously as humans no doubt had a healthy “fear” of these large beasts. There is no scientific proof of dating that the footprints were made simultaneously – in this case the young earthers do not seem to have challenges for the accuracy of dating methods. The fact that they were side by side merely shows that the human who made them was following them to see where the skeleton may have been. The asphalt conditions in the tar pits make imprints at various times, even long interval time periods, not an impossibility. C) The decay of the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field strength is supposed to reveal that at a point about 10,000 years ago the field strength would have been sufficient to destroy the earth. However, the young earthers over look the fact that the self-limiting frictional heating from such an effect would have altered the phase-state properties of the magnetite to cause the magnetite of the field to become incapable of sustaining a magnetic field; circa 1,100 degrees F. Thus, this is the classic case of a self-limiting reaction. Long before the earth’s magnetic field could have built up to inflict self-harm, the process would have rendered itself harmless. D) The formation of gorges like the Grand Canyon are claimed by young earthers to have been formed within the last 6,000 years based on recent past studies of erosive run off effects on the now cooled pyroclastic flows from Mount St. Helen in the 1980’s in Washington state in the United States. These studies allegedly conclusively demonstrate, according to their supporters, that the Grand Canyon could easily have been carved by the intense and rapid drainage of an inland sea, known by fossil records to have existed in much of that area. The watershed and sub-basin area for the Grand Canyon area is desert and has been dry for quite sometime. Whereas the Mount St. Helen’s area is infamous for its unrelenting rainfall, raining on over 200+ days per year and averaging in excess of 100+ inches of rain annually. In addition, the circumstances that surrounded the pyroclastic flow from Mount St. Helen was of such a temperature, humidity and of other environmental factors so as to create a grime bed in a final state of crystalline structure which was very susceptible to water erosion; contrasted to the sedimentary rock type of geology of the Grand Canyon environs. E) The continents drifted rapidly apart to their present locations only a few thousands years ago; one landmass (young earthers rightly resist using the word Pangea [Pangae'a] as this is used by many evolutionists.) existing around the time of: Genesis 10:25 “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.”. Peleg lived circa 2235 B.C. This means that the North American and European continents drifted apart with an average velocity of 3,300 miles / 3800 years. This drift velocity of 3,300 miles / 3765 years converts to an average velocity of 0.528 ft/hr or a little more than 6 inches per hour. Actually this author has no problem with this claim, the point of dispute with the young earthers is that they try to explain these difficulties by using naturally occurring forces, rather than assigning them to the workings of God. This author positively rejects the young earth theoretician’s explanation for the drift of the continents. The word translated as “earth” from the above passage is the Hebrew “eretz” (#0776) which can and does also mean “land” as used by modern day Israeli’s when speaking of their homeland “Eretz Yisrael.”. Thus it is NOT a foregone conclusion that the passage from Genesis is unequivocally referring to the displacements of the continents. It is not the intent of the author to convince the reader that science can explain the events of the Bible; were the book to endorse that principle the author would be guilty of profanation of God’s wondrous miracles and supernatural power. And in the end only serve to convince the reader of a deeper commitment to science rather than to turn and seek God with all their heart.
Following is a listing of critical parameters, most of which if altered by more than ± 0.01 to ± 0.0001%, either would have had or would have fatal consequences for life on earth. The “Anthropic list” merely represents a fraction of the substances and parameters whose intrinsic and extrinsic properties must be made and maintained to within such stringent tolerances that deviations as small as ± 0.01 to 0.0001 of one percent would completely alter life on earth. This intolerance of too loose tolerances would also alter the composition and arrangement of the entire cosmos as it is experienced today. The idea that life exists within such narrowly defined bandwidths is termed the “Anthropic principle”. The idea behind this principle is very simple: God so created matter, energy, forces, etc. in such narrowly defined limits that the presence of life as seen on earth cannot be by happenstance, it is of supreme design. An additional benefit of these close tolerances, limits the activities and achievements of humanity’s supernatural adversary, the devil, also to confined limits, so that he (HaSatan) cannot mutate and manipulate matter and energy to such extreme excesses that mankind would be totally annihilated by him; or worse yet, worship him as some sort of deity as in days of old.
SOME CRITICAL PARAMETERS
The surface tension of water (at 25 degrees Centigrade = 72.5 – See Graph Associated with Table No. 7). This phenomena is also seen if one were to have a clear, glass beaker of water and observed how the water “clings” to the inner surfaces of the beaker to form a “J” (looking at the right side) shape. This is called meniscus. The meniscus shape for Mercury is just the opposite that for water, forming a “r” (looking at the left side)shape in the same glass beaker. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: This parameter controls how water “coheres” to itself, a measure of its cohesion. If this parameter were somehow to increase for the temperature range for the liquid phase of H2O, the size of such things as raindrops would increase. Larger, more massive raindrops would result in substantially more erosion of the earth’s surface with attendant increases in suspended particulate matter runoff [see former and latter rain - Jeremiah 5:24; Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23 - RAIN (Hebrew matar, geshem, heavy rain, yoreh, former rain, moreh, latter malqosh rain, Greek brecho, hyetos). The expression in the Scriptures is employed in both a literal and a figurative sense. The disparity between rainfall in Egypt and the Holy Land is brought out in Deuteronomy 11:10-12. Since the summer is very dry in Israel, the rainy seasons come in the spring (the "latter rains") and in the fall (the "former rains"). One can be almost assured that from about May 1 to about October 15, no rain will fall (see Song of Songs 2:11). Many people thus slumber on the roofs of their residences to shun the heat and to relish the cooling night zephyrs. The greatest quantity of rain falls between November and February. The spring rains are contemplated such a essential blessing that they arrogate eschatological significance (Joel 2:23; Zechariah 10:1). The withholding of the rain at the proper season, particularly in the spring, was judged to be a most severe punishment (Deuteronomy 28:23-24; 1 Kings 17:1-16), and antithetically, the profusion of rain denoted the rich blessing of the Lord on his people (Deuteronomy 28:12). Famine, one of the more calamitous effects of the deficiency of rain, was therefore seen as a manifestation of divine disapprobation (2 Samuel 21:1-14). In pagan concepts, Baal was conceived of as the god of rain. Elijah's challenge on Mount Carmel was to affirm the superiority of the God of Israel in the realm of the forces of nature.]. This parameter is also associated with how abundantly substances dissolve in water. If water molecules were to cohere with greater strength then substances including all life process molecules that are water borne or soluble would be affected, yielding fatal results for virtually all known life forms on earth. Precise surface tension allows for creatures like “water spiders” to walk on water. A higher surface tension would not allow for proper perspiration (heat release) and hence, its attendant rejection to occur for animals under thermal stress. Not being able to sweat properly, ultimately threatens existence. When Yeshua walked on water [Job 9:8; Matthew 14:29cf.] He likely did not have to alter surface tension; being Divine He could miraculously tread on water. Many believers think only Jesus could walk on water and in the sense of walking upon, this is likely true. However there are “shape changers” and other demonic forces which can “levitate” in such a manner that they appear to walk on water. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: If this parameter were somehow to decrease for the temperature range for the liquid phase of H2O, the size of such things as raindrops would decrease. Smaller, less massive raindrops would result in substantially less erosion of the earth’s surface with attendant decreases in suspended detritus-nutrients and particulate matter runoff. This parameter is also associated with how abundantly substances dissolve in water. If water molecules were to cohere with lesser strength then substances including all life process molecules that are water borne or soluble would be affected – much higher concentrations/dosages would ensue, possibly yielding fatal results for virtually all known life forms on earth. Consider the life of the North American “water spider”. It’s outstretched legs allow it to distribute it’s weight on water surfaces without submersion; if a substance such as soap/detergent were to be found in it’s environment the water surface tension would be decreased to the point that the water spider would be incapable of it’s life’s activities. Scripture testifies to the total authority of Yeshua the Divine Son of God over all nature: AUTHORITY (Hebrew: sh’micah; Greek. exousia). The notion is associated with the legal and/or moral right to exert power, or power that is rightly possessed. In the scriptures God is presented as the ultimate, personal authority and the source of all authority (Daniel 4:34-35, cf. 2:21, 7:13-14; Romans 13:1) God conferred command to Israel's kings, priests, and prophets, and to the written Word of God (Psalms 119). Authority (exousia) and power (dynamis) are related but different (see Luke 4:36). Yeshua is a man under authority and with authority (Matthew 7:29, 8:9; Mark 1:27). Jesus empowers his disciples to cast out demons (Matthew 10:1; Mark 3:15); he does what God alone can do--he forgives sins (Matthew 9:6). Yeshua has control over nature (Mark 4:41); he exercises power over death (John 10:18); and as the resurrected Lord he has all authority in earth and heaven (Matthew 28:18). After Jesus' exaltation, he is considered the co-regent of the Father and possessing authority over the entire cosmos (Ephesians 1:20-23; Philippians 2:1-11; Colossians 2:9-10; Revelation 17:14). compliment the examples cited.
The density of ice (0.917; liquid water at its densest 3.98 degrees Centigrade = 1.0000000): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: For all practical purposes no liquid water would eventually exist. Ice layers, would sink to the relatively cold depths of lake and ocean bottoms. Year after year the layering would accumulate and life would have very rapidly been frozen out of existence. In a cell, ice crystals pierce the cell membrane and allow the contents to spill out thereby terminating the life processes. The fact that ice is less dense than water, allows for water to enter crevices and tight places. Upon freezing, the ice can split rocks, concrete foundations and water-pipelines. If an iceberg is completely immersed in water (ocean), its melting would NOT raise sea levels. Ice is mentioned in scripture at: ICE [Hebrew: ‘Hraq;’, ‘qerach’, Greek: ‘krustallov’, Job 6:16, 38:29; Psalms 147:17; Ezekiel 1:22; 2 Esdras 3:19; Wisdom 16:22; Sirach 3:15, 43:20; Azariah 1:49.] IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: The world-wide formation and accumulation patterns of ice would be altered such that polar ice caps, glacier formation and movement and iceberg formation and movements would result in no periods of glaciation. radiational cooling, heating and reflectivity would be modified so as to result in the eventual fatal accumulation of heat from the sun to terminate life. Environmentalists seem to delight in keeping the earth in a constant state of needing their triage, needing their therapy or intervention. The global warming that so many are concerned about is really going to happen: Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and,,,“; 2 Peter 3:10-12; Revelation 16:9.
The heat of vaporization of water (2256 kJ/kg coupled with its inverse relationship to partial water vapor pressures at various atmospheric temperatures is directly related to the relative humidity of the atmosphere - see Graph Associated with Table No. 7 and ultimately to evaporation and rain patterns throughout the world): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: The energy of vaporization is a measure of the energy required to shift a substance from a liquid to a gas [sublimation is the process whereby a substance transits from a solid to a gas without experiencing the normal intermediate liquid state.]. For thermal-steam power plants a higher heat of vaporization would mean more energy input for a given output, In hot summer months the sweat of living creatures (which transports heat out of the body) would not be as volatile, trapping fatiguing and dangerous levels of heat in the body. More energy would be required to put water vapor into the air. If solar radiant energy from the sun is assumed to be constant (for the sake of illustration), and if this value (heat of vaporization for water) was higher by only a small amount it would result in less rain, less stream, less lake volumes and less mountain top snow depths with less attendant run-offs. The biological flora and fauna of streams and lakes would be fatally altered ultimately providing fatal conditions for all life on earth. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Less energy would be required to put water vapor into the air. If solar radiant energy from the sun is assumed to be constant (for the sake of illustration), and if this value (heat of vaporization for water) was diminished by only a small amount it would result in much more rain, more stream, lake and mountain top snow depths and attendant run-offs. The biological flora and fauna of streams and lakes initially would be snuffed out via silt/mud clogged watercourses which ultimately would provide fatal conditions for all life on earth. However there is an interesting concept here. If God were to intervene and control the processes and their ramifications, life could/would return to “pre-Noah” conditions: Genesis 2:5-7 “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”. Some call this the “canopy theory” and postulate that the earth was enveloped by some sort of mist of sufficient magnitude to supply the hydrological needs of life. However, this canopy may not necessarily have been constant “round the clock”. This idea for the “canopy” not being “round the clock” in nature is derived from the statement: Genesis 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.”. This implies that there was a hot or sunny part of the day for plants to carry on photosynthesis. This of course presumes that plants photosynthesize in essentially the same manner, requiring the same radiant energy, as observed today. The canopy concept would seem to provide for a longer life by mitigating aging effects from extraterrestrial radiation. Indeed, such a canopy would tend to act like a loud-speaker system for the utterances from God, perhaps enhancing His existing awe inspiring voice.
** The Strong Nuclear Force Constant (4.00392 x 10-49 N*m2/kg2): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER OR ACT OVER GREATER DISTANCES: No elemental Hydrogen could or would exist; nucleons would tend to agglomerate and remain that way. The nuclei essential for the heavier elements and thus for life itself would be unstable; symmetries in the nucleus would tend to become asymmetric, unable to maintain stability of the atom’s nucleus. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER OR ACT OVER LESSER DISTANCES: If there was ever such a thing as the “Big Bang”, ensuing such an event no elements other than Hydrogen would have formed, as heavier nuclei would not form. Without the heavier elements, life would never have been possible.
*** Weak Nuclear Force Constant (4.00392 x 10-54 N*m2/kg2 – smaller than the strong nuclear force by a factor of 1 x 10-5): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: This force is associated with the decay of atomic nuclei. Under this scenario there would be too much Hydrogen converted to Helium in any alleged “Big Bang” synopsis. Hence, there would be excessive heavy element material made by star combustion; stars would not rupture; thus, there would be no expulsion of heavy elements from stars resulting in inadequate quantities of heavy elements necessary for life processes. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Too little Helium (alpha particles with two electrons to make the particle electrically neutral.) produced from the alleged “Big Bang” hence too little heavy element material made by star combustion; stars would not explode thus there would be no expulsion of heavy elements from stars resulting in insufficient quantities of heavy elements necessary for life processes.
Gravitational Force Constant (G = 6.670 * 10^-17 N*m^2/kg^2): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Gravitational forces would be so overwhelming so as to crush stars. Stars would turn too hot too quickly. Stars would be consumed too rapidly and with too much geometric irregularity. No stellar explosions would occur and hence the absence of any heavy elements. Thus no atoms necessary for molecular life processes. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Stars would remain to cool from insufficient gravitationally induced pressures and temperatures so that nuclear fusion would never ignite. Hence, no heavy element production, thus, there would be an insufficiency of more massive atoms necessary for molecular life processes. This force or the effects from the disruption of this force is prophesized by Isaiah: 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”.
Electromagnetic Force Constant (2.292257 * 10^-51 N*m^2/kg^2): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Insufficient, inadequate and inappropriate chemical bonding would predominate chemical processes thereby drastically altering compounds necessary for life. Elements more massive than Boron would be too unstable resulting in constant and massive fission of any heavier elements if they should happen to form. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Insufficient, inadequate and inappropriate chemical bonding would predominate chemical processes thereby drastically altering compounds necessary for life. This force is very interesting. If electrons are accumulated on an object, only an electric field exists. However electrons in motion in the form of electricity, a magnetic field, perpendicular to the electric field is produced. According to Einstein’s theories, a magnetic field arises when the electron is put into motion. This same magnetic field will be “seen” if the electron remains motionless and the observer moves with respect to the electron. That electrical charges put into relative motion should generate a magnetic field is a somewhat unanticipated consequence. It is even more curious that the identical magnetic field intensity would be measured if the charge (which may only require small amounts of energy to put into motion) were put in motion, or the observer and his environment (which would take substantially more energy) were put in motion.
4. h. 3. 8. The ratio of Electromagnetic Force Constant to Gravitational Force Constant (3.43667 * 10^-41 or its inverse of 2.9098 * 10^40): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: No stars less than approximately 1.4 solar masses (1.4 times the mass of our own sun.) could be formed or found to exist. This would result in abbreviated stellar life spans and erratic stellar luminosity. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: No stars more than approximately 0.8 solar masses could be formed or found to exist. There would be no heavy element formation or production/release. No heavy element production activity would transpire, thus no atoms for molecular life processes and thereby no life as we know it.
The ratio of Electron mass to Proton mass (1/1836): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Insufficient chemical bonding would transpire resulting in insufficiencies of life process substances and thus life as now known would not exist. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Inadequate chemical bonding would occur again resulting in deficiencies of life process substances and thus life as now known would not exist.
*** Ratio of Numbers (Quantity) of Protons to Electrons (Normally 1:1, as most natural state atoms and molecules are electrically neutral): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Electromagnetism would dominate over gravity, thus preventing galaxy, star, cluster and planet formation. Without these entities life could not/cannot exist. Genesis 1:16 “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.”. Genesis 15:5 “And he (God) brought him (the patriarch Abraham) forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.”. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Electromagnetism would dominate over gravity, thus inhibiting galaxy, star, cluster and planet formation. Without these entities life could not/cannot exist. To reiterate, if God allowed these parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist. Deuteronomy 4:19 “And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.”. Job 22:12 “Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!”. All present day calendar systems are off in an absolute sense. That is to say the exact number of years since Adam, even Yeshua’s birth is not known precisely. However, recurrent phenomena such as the Saros (a 12 month interval in which 7 eclipses occur) are still played out in the heavens: KJVPsalms 19:1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.”.
** Expansion Rate of the Universe: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: No galaxy, star, cluster and planet formation would ensue. Without these entities life could not/cannot exist. Psalms 8:3-4 “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?”. Psalms 136:9 “The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.”. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: The Universe would suffer from collapse before galaxies, star clusters, and planets could begin to form. Without these entities life could not/cannot exist. Psalms 147:4 “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.”. Psalms 148:3 “Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.”.
** Entropy Level of the Universe {Entropy can be thought of as a measure of how close a system is to equilibrium (either static or dynamic); it can also be thought of as a measure of the disorder in the system. The second law of thermodynamics (SLoT) states that the entropy—that is, the disorder—of an isolated system can never decrease (that is to say it can never self-spontaneously become more ordered). An isolated or closed system does NOT mean having no energy and/or mass flowing into or out of it. A closed system is one that has a finite number of empirically determinable (state variables) inputs and outputs. There are two basic equations employed to determine the entropy (S) of a system: 1) S &#61508; (is greater than or at best equal to) q/T and 2) S &#61508; (is greater than or at best equal to) k x Ln (O), where S = entropy, q = heat added, T = absolute temperature, k = Boltzman’s constant (see chart of PHYSICAL CONSTANTS above), Ln = natural logarithm and O = the number of ways the state can occur. Entropy (deterioration) always increases for a closed system and its converse is true, if a system deteriorates it must be closed. For example in the manufacturing PROCESS of making ammonia via N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) &#61664;2NH3 (g), where the flow input of Nitrogen is say 1 cubic feet per second (cfs) and Hydrogen is 3 cfs (both say @ STP), the entropy of the ammonium can be determined. In this case the entropy of the system decreases due to a decrease in the number of gas molecules in the end product. Or, for example, think of three coins as gene sites on a strand of DNA The entropy of a three coin system, say a) for all coins heads & b) two (out of 3 coins) coins are heads. Using S = k * Ln (O), for a) one obtains: (1.38 x 10^-23) x Ln(1) = 0, for b) one obtains S= (1.38 x 10^-23) x Ln(3) = (1.52 x 10^-23) — an increase in the randomness of the system. Now if the number of coins is increased to four (4) there are five (5) ways for any two coins coming up heads; thus S now increases to (1.38 x 10^-23) x Ln(5) = 2.22 x 10^-23. This is why stochastic processes such as telephony systems (and information transfer systems such as DNA) naturally become degraded, voice attenuation and static being just several of the parasitic parameters that inject higher levels of entropy into information bearing systems. This demonstrates that a closed or isolated system is not just a system that has nothing going into or out from It.}: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: No star condensation within proto-galaxies could occur. Without these circumstances life could not/cannot exist. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: No proto-galaxy formation would be possible. Without these circumstances life could not/cannot exist. Isaiah 44:24 “Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;”. KJVIsaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.”, KJVRevelation 7:17 “For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”, KJVRevelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”.
** Mass Density of the Universe {The Hubble Constant} (approximately 5 x 10-30 grams/cubic centimeter): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Too much Deuterium (Heavy Hydrogen – Deuterium – 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron; Tritium, 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron) would have been produced from the alleged “Big Bang” script, hence, stars would consume themselves too rapidly. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: There would be insufficient quantities of Helium from the alleged “Big Bang” plot, hence, too few heavy elements being formed.
The Velocity of Light (c = 299,292.6 km/sec; recently [2000 A. D.] recorded in a physics laboratory on Long Island, New York at 300 times its normally observed speed approximately 8.994 * 10^10 – remember this is under laboratory conditions): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME FASTER: Stars would be too luminous. They would flood the universe with too much radiant energy per second resulting in the destruction of life processes. Genesis 1:4-5 “ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SLOWER: Stars would not be sufficiently luminous. They would starve the universe from much needed but too little radiant energy per second resulting in the destruction of life processes. To reiterate, if God allowed the following parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist. John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”.
Cerenkov effect also called Cerenkov radiation (che-rèng-kôf, -kef). The emission of light by a charged particle passing through a transparent nonconducting liquid or solid material at a speed greater than the speed of light in that material. The analogy can be made here to a “fire bucket brigade” where the light passes from atom to atom like a brigade passing buckets of water, alt the while the particle speeds on through. The effect is easily seen as a bluish glow around a submerged nuclear “pile” surrounded by a large tank of water as a moderator IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED: Copious quantities of ionizing radiation would flood the universe, mitigating even halting life processes. Indeed, scientists are presently concerned about gamma ray bursts containing sufficient energy to extinguish most life on earth. The collapsing of massive stars or entire galaxies being pulled into a ‘black hole’ could theoretically emit sufficient gamma ray radiation to extinguish most life on earth. Nothing, except a gravitational-space deformation escapes black holes, so it is the “event horizon” that would emit the lethal radiation. 2 Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESS PRONOUNCED: The intensities of light from stars would become attenuated too quickly to have beneficial effects on nearby planets; thus mitigating even halting life processes. Job 3:9 “Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: “; 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”.
** The Age of the Universe (presently postulated to be 18 billion years old; twice this amount also happens to be the postulated diameter of the universe. 1 light year = 1 ly. = 5.878 x 10^12 miles; thus 36 ly. = 2.116 x 10^14 miles): IF OLDER: No Solar-type (our own sun) of stars in a stable burning phase in the proper or appropriate part of our Milky Way galaxy would exist. Without a stable sun or energy giving center for a solar system the uniformity and homogenous energy required for life would not exist; thus precluding life itself. IF YOUNGER: There would be an insufficiency of Solar-type of stars in a stable burning phase, thus stable conditions for life would not be available. 0.01% = 0.0001 of 18,000,000,000 years = 180, 000 years. 180,000 years from now our sun will be significantly different, larger, hotter, and redder; incompatible with human life.
*** Initial Uniformity of the Radiation of the alleged “Big Bang”; IF MORE UNIFORM: Stars, Star Clusters, Galaxies and Planets would not have formed. By default then, no life could exist. IF LESS UNIFORM: The universe by now would be composed mainly of an overabundance of Black holes (presently estimated to be on the order of 500,000) and empty space. By default then, no life could exist.
The Fine Structure Constant [This number designates or describes the fine structural splitting of atomic absorption and emission Spectral lines] (0.007297351): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: DNA would be unable to function. Increasing the fine structure constant literally means fine, precisely tuned structures like amino acids, proteins and DNA could not retain their structural integrity. In addition no stars greater than 0.7 solar masses would/could be formed. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: DNA would be unable to function. Decreasing the fine structure constant literally means fine, precisely tuned structures like amino acids, proteins and DNA would be overly fine-tuned and could not operate in the “bandwidth” needed for their structural integrity. In addition, no stars less than 1.8 solar masses would/could be formed. This constant is something akin to a dampening effect in dynamic systems. For example and electrical circuit composed of a resistor, inductor, capacitor, and voltage source experiences a dampening effect, largely due to the presence of the resistor. Such a system can be represented by a differential equation similar to: D2x + bDx + k2x = 0; which has an auxiliary equation of m2 + bm + k2 = 0 for which the roots are: m = [-b The square root of (b2 – 4k2)] / 2. This part {} of the equation is called the discriminate. If 4k2 &#61502; b2, the system sees the square root of a negative number, thus sinusoidal and cosinusoidal terms are present in the output and the system will oscillate in an underdamped condition. if 4k2 &#61500; b2 , the system is overdamped and no oscillations will occur, however the system response is very sluggish. If 4k2 = b2 the system is critically damped and the response of the system is “tuned” to its surroundings and the proper response to stimuli is of the shortest or optimal time duration. Some systems in the human body are underdamped by design. For example, when the iris of the eye first responds to incident light, it “over-reacts” by closing the eye opening more than necessary. This over-reaction is protective of the retina, but the eye will eventually “oscillate” to the proper size orifice for the amount of light present. The following graph depicts cases of under, over, and critically damped responses to a stimuli:
The pH level of human blood [The pH is a quantification of numbers (from about –3 for highly concentrated special acids to +14 for high alkaline, but “normal” solutions) expressing the relative acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH value is the negative common Logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration in a solution, expressed in Moles per liter of solution. A neutral solution, i.e., one that is neither acidic nor alkaline, such as pure water, which has a concentration of 10-7 moles of H+ per liter; its pH is thus 7. Acidic solutions have pH values ranging with decreasing acidity from 0 to nearly 7; alkaline or basic solutions have a pH ranging with increasing alkalinity from just beyond 7 to 14. God has designed human blood to carry buffers so that the range of foods from lemons, tomatoes and vinegar to legumes, ice cream and meats can be consumed safely. Buffer solutions are substances such as Carbonates, Bromides and Sulfates etc that can keep its pH, i.e., its relative acidity or alkalinity, constant despite the addition of strong acids or bases. Buffer solutions contain either a weak acid or weak base and one of their salts. God has designed human blood with a relatively alkaline nature – 7.35 to 7.45 or 4467 x 10^-8 H+ moles to 3.548 x 10^-8 H+ {4467 * 10^-8 / 3.548 * 10^-8 = 1.259 or a 26% change (increase from 7.35) in the concentration of H+ ions} moles per liter of blood. The concentration of a solution: in chemistry or medicine, is a measure of the relative proportions of two or more quantities in a mixture. Concentrations may be expressed in a number of ways. The simplest is in terms of a component's percentage by weight or volume. Mixtures of solids or liquids are frequently specified by weight-percentage concentrations, whereas mixtures of gases are usually specified by volume percentages. Very low concentrations, such as those of various substances in the atmosphere, are expressed in parts per million (ppm). The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The molality of a solution is the number of moles of solute per 1,000 grams of solvent. The mole fraction of a solution is the ratio of moles of solute to the total number of moles in the solution.] (7.35 – 7.45). Cancer requires an acidic (pH less than 7) environment in which to operate. Cancer sufferers can assist in fighting this disease by consuming alkaline substances and avoid eating acidic substances. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Any pH outside the bounds given results in virtually instant death. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Any pH outside the bounds given results in virtually instant death. The theme of blood is very prevalent in scripture: KJVGenesis 4:10, 4:11, 9:4-6, 37:22, 37:26, 37:31, 42:22, 49:11; KJVExodus 4:9, 4:25-26, 7:17, 7:19-21, 12:7, 12:13, 12:22-23, 22:2-3, 23:18, 24:6, 24:8, 29:12, 29:16, 29:20-21, 30:10, 34:25; KJVLeviticus 1:5, 1:11, 1:15, 3:2, 3:8, 3:13, 3:17, 4:5-7, 4:16-18, 4:25, 4:30, 4:34, 5:9, 6:27, 6:30, 7:2, 7:14, 7:26-27, 7:33, 8:15, 8:19, 8:23-24, 8:30, 9:9, 9:12, 9:18, 10:18, 12:4-5, 12:7, 14:6, 14:14, 14:17, 14:25, 14:28, 14:51-52, 15:19, 15:25, 16:14-15, 16:18-19, 16:27, 17:4, 17:6, 17:10-14, 19:16, 19:26, 20:9, 20:11-13, 20:16, 20:18, 20:27; KJVNumbers 18:17, 19:4-5, 23:24, 35:19, 35:21, 35:24-25, 35:27, 35:33; KJVDeuteronomy 12:16, 12:23, 12:27, 15:23, 17:8, 19:6, 19:10, 19:12, 19:13, 21:7-9, 22:8, 27:25, 32:14, 32:42-43; KJVoshua 2:19, 20:3, 20:5, 20:9; KJVJudges 9:24; KJV1 Samuel 14:32-34, 19:5, 25:26, 25:31, 25:33, 26:20; KJV2 Samuel 1:16, 1:22, 3:27-28, 4:11, 14:11, 16:7-8, 20:12, 21:1, 23:17; KJV1 Kings 2:5, 2:9, 2:31-33, 2:37, 18:28, 21:19, 22:35, 22:38; KJV2 Kings 3:22-23, 9:7, 9:26, 9:33, 16:13, 16:15, 21:16, 24:4; KJV1 Chronicles 11:19, 22:8, 28:3; KJV2 Chronicles 19:10, 24:25, 29:22, 29:24, 30:16; KJVJob 16:18, 39:30; KJVPsalms 5:6, 9:12, 16:4, 26:9, 30:9, 50:13, 51:14, 55:23, 58:10, 59:2, 68:23, 72:14, 78:44, 79:3, 79:10, 94:21, 105:29, 106:38, 139:19; KJVProverbs 1:11, 1:16, 1:18, 6:17, 12:6, 28:17, 29:10, 30:33; KJVIsaiah 1:11, 1:15, 4:4, 9:5, 15:9, 26:21, 33:15, 34:3, 34:6-7, 49:26, 59:3, 59:7, 66:3; KJVJeremiah 2:34, 7:6, 19:4, 22:3, 22:17, 26:15, 46:10, 48:10, 51:35; KJVLamentations 4:13-14; KJVEzekiel 3:18, 3:20, 5:17, 7:23, 9:9, 14:19, 16:6, 16:9, 16:22, 16:36, 16:38, 18:10, 18:13, 19:10, 21:32, 22:2-4, 22:6, 22:9, 22:12-13, 22:27, 23:37, 23:45, 24:6-9, 28:23, 32:6, 33:4-6, 33:8, 33:25, 35:6, 36:18, 38:22, 39:17-19, 43:18, 43:20, 44:7, 44:15, 45:19; KJVHosea 1:4, 4:2, 6:8, 12:14; KJVJoel 2:30-31, 3:19, 3:21; KJVJonah 1:14; KJVMicah 3:10, 7:2; KJVNahum 3:1; KJVHabakkuk 2:8, 2:12, 2:17; KJVZephaniah 1:17; KJVZechariah 9:7, 9:11; RAPC2 Esdras 1:26, 1:32, 5:5, 15:8-9, 15:22, 15:35, 15:58; RAPCJudith 6:4, 9:3-4; RAPCEsther 16:5, 16:10; RAPCWisdom 7:2, 11:6, 12:5, 14:25; RAPCSirach 8:16, 9:9, 11:32, 12:16, 14:18, 17:31, 22:24, 27:15, 28:11, 33:30, 34:21-22, 39:26, 40:9, 50:15; RAPCSusanna 1:46, 1:62; RAPC1 Maccabees 1:37, 7:17, 9:38, 9:42; RAPC2 Maccabees 1:8, 4:38, 8:3, 12:16, 14:18, 14:45-46; 4 Maccabees 3:15, 6:6, 6:29, 7:8, 9:9, 9:20, 10:8, 10:11, 10:17, 13:20, 17:22; KJVMatthew 16:17, 23:30, 23:35, 26:28, 27:4, 27:6, 27:8, 27:24, 27:25; KJVMark 5:25, 5:29, 14:24; KJVLuke 8:43-44, 11:50-51, 13:1, 22:20, 22:44; KJVJohn 1:13, 6:53-56, 19:34; KJVActs 1:19, 2:19-20, 5:28, 15:20, 15:29, 17:26, 18:6, 20:26, 20:28, 21:25, 22:20; KJVRomans 3:15, 3:25, 5:9; KJV1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:25, 11:27, 15:50; KJVGalatians 1:16; KJVEphesians 1:7, 2:13, 6:12; KJVColossians 1:14, 1:20; KJVHebrews 2:14, 9:7, 9:12-14, 9:18-22, 9:25, 10:4, 10:19, 10:29, 11:28, 12:4, 12:24, 13:11, 13:12, 13:20; KJV1 Peter 1:2, 1:19; KJV1 John 1:7, 5:6, 5:8; KJVRevelation 1:5, 5:9, 6:10, 6:12, 7:14, 8:7-8, 11:6, 12:11, 14:20, 16:3-4, 16:6, 17:6, 18:24, 19:2, 19:13.
Capillary Action. This is a phenomena that allows for relatively small quantities of a substance, such as water, to exist at a higher gradient level in a gravitational field than greater quantities of the same substance in a larger, open vessel in the same field. In the human body, capillaries are responsible for transporting blood and nutrients down to the level of individual blood corpuscles, to individual cells in the body. the blood corpuscle exchanges O for CO and then begins to rejoin other blood corpuscles in the vein system on its continuous trip around the human body. The same process allows for tree sap, stored in root systems in the winter months, to begin to rise against the forces of gravity to reinvigorate a tree for the next season’s growth. The main component responsible for the movement of water in a tree with leaves is water evaporation from the leaves providing the suction for water from lower levels. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: It would disrupt critical residence time and quantity requirements in various living and non-living structures so that destruction of the structure or object would result. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Areas or living tissues or cells would not receive adequate supplies of vital materials to continue life processes.

** The Average Distance between Galaxies. This of course presumes a “Big Bang” model for the creation of the universe. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Insufficient mass, matter and energy would be infused into our galaxy to sustain star and hence planet formation over an adequate time span. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Our Sun’s orbit would be too radically disturbed to yield stability to the solar system (As an interesting side note here: Within the maze of motions in our solar system, some noteworthy resonances exist: Mercury rotates on its axis three times for every two revolutions about the sun; no asteroids exist with periods 1/2, 1/3, …, 1/n (where n is an integer) of the period of Jupiter; the three inner Galilean satellites of Jupiter have periods in the ratio 4:2:1. These and other examples demonstrate the subtle and exacting balance of forces that is established in a gravitational system composed of many bodies.).
The porosity of materials with respect to water. Within this parameter exists the balance necessary for healthy life. Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers usually refer to “perc” (shorthand for percolation) tests for residence based waste disposal systems. If water percolates to fast through the soil, subterraneous aquifers used for drinking water may become contaminated with bacteria and waste products. If percolation is too slow, wastewaters may stagnate creating unhealthy, disease prone areas. Water, its purity, its uses, its necessity for life is much referred to in scripture: WATER (Hebrew: mayim, Greek: hydor). Considering its dearth in the Holy Land, water is much prized there. Truancy of water was very serious (1 Kings 17:1ff.; Jeremiah 14:3; Joel 1:20), and rain was a sign of God's favor. The rivers of the Holy Land are mostly meager and have little if any water in the summer season. Consequently, in Bible times, the country relied on rainfall as its source of water. Cisterns were a necessity for the repository of water, but if water was stored too long it became brackish and filthy and a menace to proper hygiene. In the summer there was no rain, so the flora and fauna was dependent on the heavy dews. Irrigation was exercised where there was adequate water. When water was scarce, as during a time of siege, it had to be rationed. Drinking water, carried in goatskins, was often sold in the streets. Wells and pools were comparatively scarce (Genesis 21:19, 24:11; John 4:6, 9:7). Water was employed for ceremonial washings before meals and in the Temple ceremony (Leviticus 11:32, 16:4; Numbers 19:7). In the Bible water is used it as a symbol of the cleansing of the soul from sin (Ezekiel 16:4, 16:9, 36:25; John 3:5; Ephesians 5:26; Hebrews 10:22; 1 John 5:6, 5:8).
** The Average Distance between stars. This of course presumes a “Big Bang” model for the creation of the universe. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Heavy element distribution densities would be too sparse for rocky type planets to form. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Planetary orbits would become destabilized resulting in oscillating or hyperbolic orbits which would, in short manner, be destructive of any life on such a planet.
The critical angle for refraction of light. This parameter varies from substance to substance. It is essential for the focusing of light through lenses. This parameter is associated with vision in living organisms with sight. The magnitude of this parameter for a given substance is involved with peripheral vision such as the “fish-eye” effect in camera lenses. The Speed of Light varies in passing through from material to material. Light travels fastest in a perfect vacuum, where its speed is c = 2.998 * 10^8 m/sec. Its speed in air is c/1.0003. In water its speed is c/1.33, and in ordinary glass it is about c/1.5. The Index of Refraction is classically designated (n or &#61521;): The absolute index of refraction of a material is defined as
n = speed of light in vacuum = c
speed of light in material v
For any two different, transparent - translucent materials, the Relative Index of refraction of material 1, with respect to material 2, is = n1 / n2 where n1 and n2 are the absolute refractive indices of the two transparent - translucent materials. When a ray of coherent white light passes obliquely through the boundary between two materials of unlike indices of refraction, the ray bends, in much the same way as a marching column makes a turn. This phenomenon, called refraction, is shown in Fig. (a). If n2 > n1, the ray refracts as shown in Fig. (a); it bends toward the normal as it enters material 2. If n2 < n1, however, the ray refracts away from the normal. This would be the situation in Fig. (a) if the direction of the ray were reversed. In either case, the incident and refracted rays and the normal all lie in the same plane. The angles &#61521;1 and &#61521;2 in Fig. (a) are called the angle of incidence and angle of refraction respectively, and are often represented by i and r.



SNELL'S LAW: Is the mathematical equation used to express the manner in which a ray refracts at a boundary interface between materials with indices of refraction n1 and n2. Snell's law: n1 x sin(n1) = n2 x sin(n2) where n1 and n2 are shown in Fig. (a). Because this equation applies to light moving in either direction along the ray, a ray of light follows the same path when its direction is reversed. To consider the all important Critical Angle for Total Internal Reflection: suppose that a ray of light passes from a material of higher index of refraction to one of lower index, as shown in Fig. (b). Part of the incident ray is refracted and part is reflected at the interface. Because n2 must be larger than n1, it is possible to make n1 large enough so that n2 = 90°. This value for n1 is called the critical angle. For n1 larger than this, no refracted ray can exist; all the light is reflected and kept inside, without escape. The requirements for total internal reflection is that n1 exceed the critical angle nc given by n1 * sin (nc) = n2 * sin(90 degrees) or sin(nc) = n1 / n2 . Because the sine of an angle can never be larger than unity, this relation confirms that total internal reflection can occur only if n1 > n2.




A prism can be employed to disperse light into various colors, as shown in Fig. (c). Because the index of refraction of a material varies with wavelength encountered, different colors of light refract differently. In nearly all materials, red is refracted least and blue is refracted most. These same concepts apply for electromagnetic propagation’s in general including the ultraviolet and infrareds (heat wavelengths. Just about everyone has seen a prism refract white light into its component colors. The prism always projects the component colors in a straight line. However, when water droplets after or during a rainfall project the colors in an arched pattern. It is called a rainbow, but how the shape of an arch as opposed to a straight line is projected remains scientifically unexplainable. There is a biblical explanation: KJVGenesis 9:13 “I do set my bow [Hebrew: ‘tweq;’, qesheth] in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.”. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Life sustaining electromagnetic radiation already captured by a planetary body with substantial quantities of liquid water would too rapidly lose this necessary energy. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Life sustaining electromagnetic radiation already captured by a planetary body would retain and accumulate this energy to lethal levels.
4. h. 3. 25. The Decay rate (half-life) of the proton, presently postulated as 18 billion years, is a crucial parameter. The stability of a radioactive nucleus measured against spontaneous decay is evaluated by its half-life T½. The half-life is defined as the time in which half of any large sample of identical nuclei will undergo disintegration. The half-life is a fixed number for each isotope. Radioactive decay is a random process. No matter when one begins to observe a material, only half the material will remain unchanged after a time T½; after a time 2T½, only ½ * ½ = ¼ of the material will remain unchanged. After n half-lives have passed, only (½)n of the material will remain unchanged. A simple relation exists between the number N of atoms of radioactive material present and the number Delta N that will decay in a fixed interval of time Delta t. Mathematically it is Delta N = Lambda x N x Delta t where Lambda is the decay constant, and related to the half-life T½ through Lambda x T½ = 0.693. The quantity Delta N / Delta t, which is the rate of disintegration in the sample, is called the activity of the sample. It is equal to Lambda x N, and therefore it steadily decreases with time. The SI (System International) unit for activity is the Becquerel (Bq), where 1 Bq = 1 decay / sec. Another unit for activity that is commonly used is the curie (Ci), where 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq.: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Life would rapidly become extinguished by the excessive release of nuclear radiation. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: The elements and distribution of all naturally occurring elements found in the Periodic chart would not exist at their present levels of abundance resulting in insufficient matter in the universe for life.
Carbon-12 (C12) to Oxygen-16 (O16) Decay Energy Level Ratio [This ratio is essentially a comparison of the energy values needed to disrupt the respective nuclei. The disruption of these usually stable nuclei by collisions with relatively slow speed neutrons, alpha particle bombardment or electron capture.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Carbon would predominate over Oxygen resulting in insufficient Oxygen for life to exist. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Oxygen would predominate over Carbon resulting in insufficient Carbon for life to exist. Moreover, excessive oxidation of chemically active materials would result thus halting life processes.
Ground State Energy Level for Helium (He4) – See Graph Associated with Table No. 10 above. [By “stacking” integer multiples of alpha particles together, like stacking bricks, the universe, through the nuclear processes in properly sized sun’s or stars, obtains the third integer multiple – C12 and the forth integer multiple – O16.]; IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: The result would be an insufficiency of Carbon and Oxygen for life to exist. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: The result would be an insufficiency of Carbon and Oxygen for life to exist. To reiterate, if God allowed the following parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist. Scripture has much to say regarding the sun and astronomy: While the term astronomy is not found in the Bible, numerous paragraphs refer to some aspect of the subject. God created the stars (Genesis 1:16), knows their number and names (Psalms 147:4), and is glorified by them (Psalms 19). There are hundreds of biblical connotations to stars [Hebrew: sing. ‘bkaOK’, pl. ‘MybikaOK’, ‘kowkab’, Greek: ‘&#61537;&#61555;&#61556;&#61541;&#61554;&#61544;’, ‘aster&#61630;’. KJVGenesis 1:16,15:5, 22:17, 26:4, 37:9; KJVExodus 32:13; KJVNumbers 24:17; KJVDeuteronomy 1:10, 4:19, 10:22, 28:62; KJVJudges 5:20; KJV1 Chronicles 27:23; KJVNehemiah 4:21, 9:23; KJVJob 3:9, 9:7, 22:12, 25:5, 38:7; KJVPsalms 8:3, 136:9, 147:4, 148:3; KJVEcclesiastes 12:2; KJVIsaiah 13:10, 14:13, 47:13; KJVJeremiah 31:35; KJVEzekiel 32:7; KJVDaniel 8:10, 12:3; KJVJoel 2:10, 3:15; KJVAmos 5:26; KJVObadiah 1:4; KJVNahum 3:16; RAPC1 Esdras 4:19; RAPC2 Esdras 5:5, 6:45, 7:39, 7:97, 7:125, 16:56; RAPCTobit 11:10; RAPCWisdom 7:19, 7:29, 10:17, 13:2, 17:5; RAPCSirach 43:9, 44:21, 50:6; RAPCBaruch 3:34, 6:60; RAPCAzariah 1:13, 1:41; RAPC1 Maccabees 9:60; RAPC2 Maccabees 9:10; RAPC4 Maccabees 17:5; KJVMatthew 2:2, 2:7, 2:9-10, 24:29; KJVMark 13:25; KJV1 Corinthians 15:41; KJVJude 1:13; KJVRevelation 1:16, 1:20, 2:1, 2:28, 3:1, 6:13, 8:10-12, 9:1, 12:1, 12:4, 22:16.], sun, moon, and planets. Indubitably, the early Bible chroniclers were much better acquainted with the theme of astronomy than are many modern people. When God desired to inform Abraham how multitudinous his progeny would be, he took him out and showed him the stars (Genesis 15:5). Later God compared Abraham's posterity not only with the stars, but also with the grains of sand on the seashore (Genesis 22:17). Modern findings have verified that the total number of stars is approximately equal to the number of grains of sand on the seashore, a number so immense it is virtually infeasible for the human mind to apprehend. The Bible refers in a most striking manner to the height of the stars--that is, to their distance from the earth: ‘Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!’ (Job 22:12). It happens that the mileage to the most remote stars known are more than five hundred thousand times the diameter of our solar system. The biblical writers were conscious that the stars differ greatly from each other (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15:41). Astronomers have verified that the stars can have vastly different colors, size, density, temperature, and total amount of light emitted. Israel was cautioned not to worship the sun, the moon, and the stars (Deuteronomy 4:19). In spite of such reprimands, sun worship often prevailed. Asa and Josiah, kings of Judah, found it necessary to remove the sun images that had been kept at the entrance to the temple. While there is amazing demonstration in the book of Jasher that the Hebrews had a superior knowledge of the stars and of the heavens, there is little indication in the remainder of scripture that the Hebrew people had indulged very much in the study of astronomy, it is very clear that they recognized a splendid order in the behavior of the heavenly bodies. They conscientiously observed the daily rising of the sun, its regal movement across the sky, and its final setting in the west. This is vivaciously depicted in the narrative of the clash with the Amorites as recorded in Joshua chapter 10, when the sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky. Many theories have been proposed in an attempt to give a scientific explanation to this "long day of Joshua." None is completely satisfactory. It is curious to note that the annals of Chinese history document the occurrence of a “long night” in the same period. It is sufficient to add that this is one of many miracles recorded in the Bible to show that God is the sovereign and guarantor of the universe. More unprecedented than the long day of Joshua when the sun conspicuously stood stationary, is the story of the retrogression of the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz. In this incident the Lord gave King Hezekiah a sign saying, ‘I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz’ (Isaiah 38:8). This is, truly, a noteworthy miracle. If taken literally, this means not only that the earth stopped rotating on its axis, but that it reversed its direction of rotation for a short time [given the hypothesized geometry of the area at that time, the event could represent anywhere from 20- 150 minutes]. Again, scientists have no reply to explain such an event. There are a number of allusions in the scriptures to eclipses of the sun and of the moon (Isaiah 13:10; Joel 2:31; Amos 8:9). Several calculated eclipses of the sun that occurred in Holy Land during FT times are (all in B. C. dates): July 31, 1063 ; August 15, 831; June 15, 763; May 18, 603; May 28, 585. Very conceivably, the prophets Amos and Joel witnessed the eclipse of August 15, 831. Such an eclipse is vividly described by Amos: ‘And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:’ (Amos 8:9). The substance of astrology has been concatenated with astronomy since early times. The reference in Judges 5:20 probably refers to the sway of the stars in the lives of people. The writer states, "From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera." Stars are associated with angels: KJVGenesis 22:15 with KJVGenesis 22:17; KJVPsalms 8:3 with KJVPsalms 8:5; KJVPsalms 148:2 with KJVPsalms 148:3; RAPC2 Esdras 7:95 with RAPC2 Esdras 7:97; KJVMatthew 24:29 with KJVMatthew 24:31; KJVMark 13:25 with KJVMark 13:27; KJVRevelation 1:20; KJVRevelation 2:1, KJVRevelation 2:28 with KJVRevelation 3:1; KJVRevelation 8:8 with Revelation 8:10-13; KJVRevelation 9:1; KJVRevelation 12:4; KJVRevelation 22:16. Supernovas may literally represent the disenfranchisement of a great angel. According to the scriptures, the Hebrew people ostensibly had little to do with the subject. However, the significance of the patterns and positions of stars are given in-depth coverage in the Talmud and other Jewish literature. In the Book of Daniel there are repetitive communications made concerning the astrologers. It is to be noted that Daniel and his three friends, though closely associated with astrologers, are always mentioned as keeping themselves detached and undefiled. Repeatedly when the magicians and the astrologers were incapable of performing a devoir, Daniel was able to accomplish important things for the king. Thus, it is apparent that the Bible condemns the pseudo-science of astrology. Probably the most fascinating part of biblical astronomy concerns the star of Bethlehem (Matthew chapter 2). This miraculous appearance, which is called a star, aroused the curiosity of the wise men to such an extent that they followed it for many miles until finally it pointed out the exact place where they wished to go. Although a variety of theories have been proposed, no attempt by modern science has been able to explain this miracle. However, in all likelihood the object was an angelic being. There is much evidence in the Bible that many of the constellations were known to the writers. Kesil (Orion) is mentioned in Job 9:9; Isaiah 13:10; Amos 5:8. Ash or Ayish occurs in Job 9:9, 38:32. Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Also, found in Job 38:32 is the term Mazzaroth.
Decay Rate (half-life) of Beryllium (Be8). [Beryllium is the second integer multiple of the alpha particle or Helium nucleus.] This of course presumes a “Big Bang” model for the creation of the universe. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Heavy element fusion production would generate catastrophic explosions IN ALL STARS, virtually regardless of size, thereby annihilating any life operations near by. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: No element production heavier than Beryllium would occur and therefore no life chemistry would be possible.
*** Initial Mass Excess of the Neutron over the Proton. This of course presumes a “Big Bang” model for the creation of the universe. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Neutron decay (isolated neutrons have a half-life of about 19 minutes; decaying into an electron and proton.) would leave too few neutrons to form the heavy elements necessary for life. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Proton decay would ultimately prevail over the long time span, causing ALL STARS to collapse rapidly into dense neutron stars or black holes.
*** Initial excess of Nucleons over Anti-nucleons [In the alleged “Big Bang” theory, the purported primordial singularity theoretically should have shown no predetermined preference for “ordinary matter” – the “everyday stuff” over “anti-matter”; but this predilection is necessary to assume in order to explain the present state of things.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Too much radiation in the ultra-fast matter/anti-matter annihilation process for stars, planets and life to form. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Antimatter would have predominated resulting in insufficient matter for stars, galaxies, planets and life to form.
Polarity of the Water Molecule [the H-O-H molecule is not linear, a straight line or 180 degrees. Because of Oxygen’s greater sharing of electrons, the bond is covalent and polar; meaning it has negative and positive saliencies.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: The Heat of Fusion and Vaporization of water would be too great for life to exist. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: The Heat of Fusion and Vaporization of water would be too small for life to exist. Liquid water would become too inferior a solvent for life chemistry to proceed; ice would not float (ice would become more dense) leading to a runaway planetary freeze-up.
Supernovae Eruptions. This of course presumes a “Big Bang” model for the creation of the universe. IF TOO NEAR: Intense Radiation would exterminate, retard or mitigate (with the exception of maybe the cockroaches!) life on planet earth. IF TOO FAR AWAY: There would be insufficient introduction of heavy element stellar ashes into our solar system for the formation of rocky planets. IF TOO FREQUENT: Life on our planet would be exterminated. Daniel 8:10 “And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.”. 1 Corinthians 15:41 “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.”. Revelation 8:12 “And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.”. Revelation 12:4 “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”. IF TOO INFREQUENT: There would be inadequate quantities of heavy elemental stellar cinders for the formation of rocky planets. IF TOO LATE IN THE ANNALS OF THE UNIVERSE: Life on the planet would be exterminated by radiation given off by exploding stars. The present solar wind [composed of nucleons, high-energy rays, alpha, beta and gamma emissions and other atomic nuclei etc.] represents the proper controlled burning of a typical star in our sun’s class. IF TOO SOON IN THE EARLY ANNALS OF THE UNIVERSE: There would be inadequate quantities of heavy elemental stellar cinders for the formation of rocky planets.
White Dwarf Binaries: IF THESE PHEOMENA WERE TOO FEW: Unsatisfactory quantities of Fluorine produced for life chemistry to proceed. Due to the size, mass, distance from each other, rotational rate and mode of tearing each other apart, these binaries are in the necessary state [God, of course, does not need these condition in order for Him to create His universe.] to produce Fluorine as revealed by spectroscopic analysis. This particular process of star destruction is presently one of the rare observed ways Fluorine is found to be produced; the other being fission products or by proper bombardment in the laboratory. Trace or minute amounts of Fluorine are required in various enzymes, proteins, vitamins etc. for life’s chemicals to properly function. In addition to proper functioning, the inclusion of proper amounts of Fluorine in some things like teeth formation can produce therapeutic, beneficial tooth decay resistant mechanisms IF THESE PHEOMENA WERE TOO PLENTIFUL: There would be unacceptable disruption of planetary orbits from stellar density perturbations; all life on nearby planets would be exterminated. IF TOO SOON: Inadequate amounts of heavy elements would have been made for suitable quantities of Fluorine production. IF TOO LATE: Fluorine would have been created too late for incorporation into proto-planetary formation. Without Fluorine life chemistry cannot proceed. This is also true for Magnesium as it is an essential element in chlorophyll.
Nitrogen to C14 conversion in the upper atmosphere [The nuclear equation is 14N (n – slow thermal neutron bombardment, ejects a p) &#61664; 14C (mass = 14.003 Amu) + 0.6 Mev]: IF TOO MUCH: This would and likely does invalidate the assumption of a fixed ratio of C12 to C14 employed as a totally reliable way of dating carboniferous substances. If the conversion process was so intense, penetrating and pervasive, then the very Nitrogen composition of intermediary and lower levels of the atmosphere would be altered. This would impact all farming. It is well known that early spring snowfalls of relative light amounts, which melt the same day fertilize the soil. This is known as the poor farmer’s fertilizer and is quite effective in rendering healthy and abundant crops. The destruction of significant amounts of Nitrogen into Carbon, would tend to impact the greenhouse effect. IF TOO LITTLE: At the present time it is unsure what lack of sufficient Nitrogen would have on the planetary environment, however, the Nitrogen in the Nitrogen fixing organisms in the soil would be adversely impacted. In addition, most living things can not live in an atmosphere of 100% Oxygen. Most land based, large sized animals were designed to occupy and breathe an environment of 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% incidentals.

*** Ratio of Exotic to ordinary matter. Exotic Matter, sometimes referred to as Dark Matter is postulated to be a non-luminous substance that cannot be directly detected by observing any form of electromagnetic radiation, but whose existence is insinuated by certain theoretical considerations and indirect empirical measurements. Determining if dark matter exists, in what quantity, and what its effects are, have astonishing implications for the workings of the universe. Three cardinal considerations imply that exotic matter exists. The first to contemplate is the rotation rate of galaxies. Galaxies near our Milky Way appear to be rotating faster than would be expected based on the amount of visible matter that appears to be contained in these galaxies. Some astronomers are of the opinion there is acceptable evidence to conclude that, based on its rate of rotation, up to 90 percent of the matter in a typical galaxy is invisible, or perhaps is a black hole. The second consideration is predicated on the presence of clusters of galaxies. Numerous galaxies in the universe are grouped together in clusters. Some astronomers reason that if some rational conjectures are acknowledged—specifically, that the clustered galaxies are bound together by gravity, and that the clusters formed billions of years ago—then it ensues that more than 90 percent of the matter in a given cluster is composed of exotic matter. Otherwise, the proponents of this interpretation argue, clusters would be deficient of sufficient mass to keep them together, since in the intervening years the galaxies would have separated by now. The third consideration that indicates that exotic matter exists is based on the inflationary alleged big bang model. Of the three propositions inferring the existence of exotic matter, this last one is the most controversial. The inflationary big bang model alleges that the universe went through a period of extremely rapid expansion while in it’s infant stages. However, if the inflationary big bang model is supposedly correct, then the cosmological constant for the expansion of the universe is close to one. In order for this constant to be near one, the total mass of the universe must be more than 100 times the amount of visible mass that appears to be in the universe. This calculation indicates that more than 99 percent of the mass of the universe must exist in the form of exotic matter. There are several possible candidates for the substance that constitutes exotic, dark matter. These include neutrinos with mass, undetected brown dwarf stars (stars that are smaller and much fainter than the sun), black holes, and exotic subatomic particles whose properties presently evade detection by electromagnetic radiation observation. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Galaxies would not form, hence life would not exist. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: The universe would sustain gravitational collapse before solar type stars could form, thus, no life could exist.
The shape of spiral galaxies, conch shells, and innumerable other shapes, patterns, and cycles are based on the “golden ratio”. There are several very famous numbers, actually irrational numbers that were known in antiquity. One, even suggested in scripture - 1 Kings 7:23, 2 Chronicles 4:2 – is pi (&#61520;) = 3.141592654 ,,, . This constant is found as the ration of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, C/d = pi. Another famous number represented by a letter is e, the base of the natural logarithm, e = 2.718281828 ,,, . It also has the unique property that the derivative of ex = ex. That is to say that the slope of the curve is equal to the same value of the function evaluated for the same point on the x-axis. There is another ratio represented by the Greek letter phi (&#61510;) = 1.618033989 ,,, . It can be expressed as 0.5 + &#61625; . Phi appears in logarithmic spirals, in the proportions of the human face, in the ultimate ratio of consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, [Up to this point the Fibonacci sequence should represent the intercalary years where one month is added on the Hebrew calendar to resynchronize the lunar-solar month-season sequence in the calendar, which should be an eighteen year cycle, instead of the nineteen year cycle one that is in present use.] 21, 34, ,,, in reflections of a light ray from the front and back surfaces of a layer of glass, the appearance of branches or leaves on the stem of some plants [rotating and appearing every 137.5077641° ,,,], to the propagation of drones and successive bee hives. If these universal constants were altered to the slightest degree, up or down, vast structural would occur. No doubt that life, or life as it is seen today, would not exist
Types of Galaxies: IF TOO ELLIPTICAL: Star formation would cease before there would be sufficient time for heavy element accumulations necessary for life chemistry. IF TOO IRREGULAR: Occasional, but intense radiation bursts would be too severe for planets in nearby planets for life to exist. Moreover, there would be insufficient heavy element production necessary for life chemistry. To reiterate, if God allowed the following parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist.
Parent star distance from center of Galaxy: IF MORE REMOTE: there would have been insufficient heavy elements produced for the formation of rocky planets and atoms necessary for life. IF NEARER: Galactic radiation would be too intense and stellar densities would perturb planetary orbits outside of life sustaining paths.
The number of stars in planetary solar system: IF MORE THAN ONE: Gravitational interactions and “tugs” would degenerate and destabilize planetary orbits. IF LESS THAN ONE: There would be inadequate solar heat for sustenance of life; no liquid H2O; the temperature of the “space” in the universe is about 2 – 3 degrees Kelvin. But God provides for all as seen From Genesis 24:7; Genesis 24:40-50; Genesis 24:56; Genesis 26:24; Leviticus 26:4-6; Leviticus 26:10; Deuteronomy 8:18; Deuteronomy 11:12-15; Deuteronomy 15:4-6; Deuteronomy 32:11-14; 1 Samuel 2:6-9; 1 Kings 11:14-40; 1 Chronicles 29:14; 1 Chronicles 29:16; Psalms 23:1-6; Psalms 34:7; Psalms 34:9-10; Psalms 71:6-7; Psalms 71:15; Psalms 75:7; Psalms 107:1-43; Psalms 127:1-5; Psalms 136:5-25; Psalms 144:12-15; Psalms 147:8-9; Psalms 147:13-14; Proverbs 16:33; Ecclesiastes 2:24; Ecclesiastes 3:13; Ecclesiastes 5:19; Isaiah 46:4; Isaiah 48:14-15; Isaiah 51:2; Isaiah 54:16-17; Isaiah 55:10; Ezekiel 29:19-20; Ezekiel 36:28-38; Joel 2:18-26; Matthew 5:45; Matthew 6:26; Matthew 6:30-33; Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 12:6-7; Luke 12:24-28; Luke 22:35; John 6:31; Acts 14:17; Romans 8:28; James 4:15.

** Parent Star Birth Date: IF MORE CONTEMPORARY: Stars would not have yet achieved stable, constant and reliable burning phases, Stellar systems would contain too many heavy elements. Also the luminosity of the solar system star would change too quickly to sustain life. IF OLDER: Solar systems would contain too few heavy elements required for life. Also the luminosity of the solar system star would change too quickly to support life.
Saline Concentrations. When a person is on an I-V (intra- venous) “drip’ receiving medication, the medicinal solution must be isotonically balanced with the concentration of salt in the blood stream. Normal blood chemistry contains about a 2.5% solution of salt. The Sodium (Na) carries away heat and plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of all muscles in the body. Along with Potassium (K) they form the ‘Sodium-Potassium pump’ responsible for the contraction of muscles in the body, including the heart. The LESSENING of Potassium (‘Sea Salt’) will cause spasmodic muscle contractions, even cessation of the heartbeat. In the halide cycle of the oceans, a halide stream, such as the Gulf Stream, carries and distributes heat to northern latitudes and lands. If the concentration of the halide conveyor belt were DIMINISHED, large portions of northern Europe would enter an ice-age era. If salt concentrations were INCREASED there would ensue possibilities for the hardening of bowel masses and even decreases in the elasticity of arteries in the body could occur, producing a state of poor health. If the salts in the halide belt were INCREASED, too much heat energy would be delivered to northern latitudes, reducing glacial creating and sustaining effects, raising sea levels and altering albedo effects. The agricultural and societal orders on the entire planet would become disrupted. Salt, Sodium Chloride, acts as a preservative in some foodstuffs, and has been used for such since antiquity. It is found in scripture at: [Salt, Hebrew: ‘Hlam;’, ‘melach’, Greek: ‘&#61537;&#61514;&#61558;&#61548;&#61537;&#61474;’, ‘halas’. KJVGenesis 14:3, 19:26; KJVLeviticus 2:13; KJVNumbers 18:19, 34:3, 34:12; KJVDeuteronomy 3:17, 29:23; KJVJoshua 3:16, 12:3, 15:2, 15:5, 18:19; KJVJudges 9:45; KJV2 Samuel 8:13; KJV2 Kings 2:20-21, 14:7; KJV1 Chronicles 18:12, 13:5, 25:11; KJVJob 6:6; KJVPsalms 60:1; KJVEzekiel 43:24, 47:11; KJVZephaniah 2:9; RAPC1 Esdras 6:30, 8:20; RAPC2 Esdras 5:9; RAPCWisdom 10:7; RAPCSirach 22:15, 39:23, 39:26, 43:19; RAPCBaruch 6:28; RAPC1 Maccabees 10:29, RAPC1 Maccabees 11:35; KJVMatthew 5:13; KJVMark 9:50; KJVLuke 14:34; KJVColossians 4:6. ]. Believers are to be the salt of the earth - Matthew 5:13.
Parent Star Mass: IF GREATER IN MAGNITUDE: The luminosity of the star would change too fleetly to support life. The star would burn too rapidly. IF LESS IN MAGNITUDE: The span of suitable distances appropriate for life would be too restrictive to provide for life in it’s diversity; Gravitational and tidal forces would disrupt the rotational period for a planet located at just the critical distance from the sun. UV [ultra violet radiation: Is electromagnetic radiation that has wavelengths in the range between 4000 angstrom units (Å), the wavelength of violet light, and 150 Å (1 angstrom unit = 1 * 10^-10 meter), the length of X rays. Ultraviolet radiation is produced artificially by electric-arc lamps. Natural ultraviolet radiation is produced primarily by the sun. Ultraviolet radiation can be injurious to living things, particularly when the wavelengths are small. Ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths below 3000 Å is used to sterilize surfaces as it kills bacteria and disables viruses. In humans, exposure to ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths under 3100 Å can cause sunburn; prolonged exposure is thought to be a leading cause of skin cancer. The earth's atmosphere protects living organisms from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. If all the ultraviolet radiation produced by the sun were allowed to reach the surface of the earth, virtually all life on earth would probably be destroyed. The ozone layer (O3) of the atmosphere absorbs almost all of the short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation, and much of the long-wavelength ultraviolet radiation. However, ultraviolet radiation is not entirely harmful; a large portion of the vitamin D that humans and animals need for proper health is produced when the human's or animal's skin is irradiated by ultraviolet rays. Most ordinary window glass and dark sunglasses made of glass are transparent to visible light, but is opaque to a large portion of ultraviolet rays, particularly ultraviolet rays with short wavelengths. Some dark sunglasses, not made of glass, but of clear plastics can be very harmful to ones eyesight. The plastic permits passage through the pupil and to then damage the retina. In astronomy, ultraviolet-radiation detectors have been used since the early 1960s on artificial satellites, providing data on stellar objects that cannot be obtained from the earth's surface.] radiation would be inadequate for plants to make sugars and subsequently release Oxygen. Ozone concentrations must exist in the upper atmosphere. Ozone (a principal component in smog) too close the earth tends to oxidize the material it contacts.
Parent Star Color: IF REDDER: Photosynthetic response of plants would be unsatisfactory to sustain life. IF BLUER: Photosynthetic response of plants would be unsatisfactory to sustain life.
Parent star luminosity relative to speciation [Our sun is a typical star of intermediate size and luminosity. Sunlight and other radiation are produced by the conversion of hydrogen into helium in the sun's hot, dense interior. Although this nuclear fusion is destroying 600 million metric tons of hydrogen each second, the sun is so massive (2 x 1030 kg, or 4.4 x 1030 lb.) that it can continue to shine at its present brightness for 6 billion years. This stability has allowed civilizations to develop and survive on earth.]: IF LUMINOSITY INCREASES TOO EARLY: Our Earth would develop runaway greenhouse effects early on in it’s history and no life would have commenced. IF LUMINOSITY INCREASES TOO LATE: Our Earth would experience lethal runaway glaciation effects early on its history thus canceling life development.
Surface Gravity Force (Escape Velocity: [Is the minimum inaugural velocity essential for an object to escape the gravitational attraction of a cosmological object, and to continue traveling away from it without the use of additional propulsive forces. The escape velocity is usually given in terms of the surface-launch velocity, excluding aerodynamic friction. Objects traveling at less than 0.71 × escape velocity of a celestial body cannot achieve a stable orbit. At 0.71 × escape velocity, the orbit becomes circular, and at higher velocities the orbit becomes elliptical until the escape velocity is reached, and then the orbit becomes parabolic enabling decouppling. The escape velocity of an object from a spherical astronomical body is proportional to the square root of the mass of the body divided by the distance between the object and the center of the body. Approximate escape velocities from the surface of the planets in our solar system are listed below in kilometers per second, numbers in parentheses are in miles per hour:
Mercury – 3.8 (8.5 * 10^3) Saturn – 36.0 (8.053 * 10^4)
Venus -- 10.3 (2.3 * 10^4) Uranus – 22.0 (4.921 * 10^4)
Earth – 11.2 (2.505 * 10^4) Neptune -- 24.0 (5.369 * 10^4)
Mars -- 5.0 (1.118 * 10^4) Pluto -- 1.6 (3.579 * 10^3)
Jupiter -- 61.0 (1.365 * 10^5) Earth’s Moon -- 2.4 (5.369 * 10^3)

The escape velocity of a celestial body also applies to objects in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Geological discoveries have demonstrated that the earth and moon, in past eras, have sustained some sever meteoric impacts. All of these bodies are in orbital motion, all that is needed to send one or more out of this band would be a bump from another body, or a gravitational tug from Jupiter or Mars. In scripture, God the Father is represented by the sun, that is so luminous that ‘no man could look at it and (live) see’. On the other hand, Yeshua is represented by the moon, who reflects the light of the Father and whose craters bespeak of the horrific beating He took for the sins of mankind. The earth has continued to preserve its atmosphere long after it’s creation, because the average velocity of the gas molecules that constitute the atmosphere are orders of magnitude less than the required escape velocity; the coldness of the upper reaches of the atmosphere helping to create a suppressive effect.]): IF STRONGER: The Earth’s atmosphere would retain too much Ammonia and Methane, substances which would prove toxic to much of life on land. IF WEAKER: The Earth’s atmosphere would release into space too much water vapor which over time would deplete the planet of life sustaining water and in addition would increase the salinity of our oceans to the point of being fatal for aquatic life.
Distance from parent star [The dimensions of our solar system are normally specified in terms of the mean distance from the earth to the sun, called an astronomical unit (AU). One AU is 150 million km (about 93 million miles). The most distant known object/planet, Pluto, has an orbit at 39.44 AU from the sun. The boundary between the solar system and interstellar space—called the heliopause—is estimated to occur near 100 AU. The comets, however, achieve the greatest distance from the sun; they have highly eccentric orbits ranging out to 50,000 AU or more. This solar system is the only planetary system known to exist with visible confirmation of it’s constituents, Although recent claims in slight “wiggles” in the paths of other stars are suspected to be caused by massive, nearby planets.]: IF MORE REMOTE: The Earth would be too cool for a stable hydrological cycle. Inadequate amounts of heat would freeze out life. IF NEARER: The Earth would be too warm for a stable hydrological cycle. Too much heat would be destructive to life operations.
Inclination of a planet’s orbit towards the sun. see 4. h. 3. 48. [see TABLE No. 9 above]: IF TOO GREAT OR IF IT WAS TO SOMEHOW BECOME GREATER [The average temperature of the Earth surface and atmosphere immediately above is 59 °F or 15 °C.]: Temperature differences on the earth would be too extreme. The Southern Hemisphere would heat up hotter than to what it is now and the Northern Hemisphere would cool down from where it is now. Most of the Earth’s above water land masses and hence its populations are in the Northern Hemisphere. The orbit of the earth is elliptical, ranging from 91 million miles to 93 million miles. When the Northern hemisphere is experiencing winter, the earth is at (apogee) its closest point, 91 million miles away; in summer it is furthest away at perigee.. IF TOO GREAT OR IF IT WAS TO SOMEHOW BECOME GREATER: Problems encountered from the temperature differences on the earth just noted above would, for the most part, reverse themselves and most likely diminish Bio-diversity, which is necessary for food chains to exist.

Orbital Eccentricity [see TABLE No. 9 above]; Ellipses are a subset of curves belonging to conic sections. Conic curves are a family of curves formed by the intersection of a plane with the surface of a right circular cone extended infinitely far on both sides of the vertex. If the cone is cut by a plane that makes the proper angle with the axis of the cone then the intersection is a closed curve called an ellipse; see Fig. d below. If the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the intersection is a circle, which is merely a unique case of the ellipse. If the plane intersects the cone axis at a different angel, so that the plane is parallel to the surface of the cone, the intersection is an open curve of infinite extent called a parabola; see Fig. e below. If the cone is intersected by a plane that is either parallel to the cone axis or makes a relatively slight angle with it and if the plane does not contain the vertex of the cone, the intersection is called a hyperbola; see Fig. f below. In this case the cone is necessarily intersected in both halves (called nappes), which provides for the hyperbola having two branches, each of which is mathematically infinite in extent.

Conic sections are two-dimensional or plane curves. A conic may be defined as the loci or set of points of which the distances from some fixed point are in a constant ratio to the distances of the points from a fixed line that does not pass through the aforesaid fixed point. The fixed point is called the focus, and the line is called the directrix. The constant ratio is termed the eccentricity of the conic and is usually denoted by the letter e. If P is a point and Q is the foot of a line from P perpendicular to the directrix (see Fig. g), the point P is on the conic if and only if [FP] = e[QP], in which [FP] and [QP] are the distances between the respective points. When e = 1, the conic is a parabola; when e > 1, it is a hyperbola; and when e < 1, it is an ellipse. Eccentricity can also be calculated using e = 1 – (Minor Axis length / Major Axis length); which for the earth is e = 1.00 – 91,000,000 / 93,000,000 = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02 or an eccentricity of 2%.

Conic sections have numerous mathematical properties that give them important applications in the applied sciences. For example, the orbit of any astronomical object such as a planet or comet around any other object such as the sun is always one of the conic sections. Artificial satellites have elliptical orbits around the earth. If a celestial body has a hyperbolic orbit with respect to the mean solar plane it’s trajectory will direct it out of our solar system, never to return. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS GREATER OR WAS IN SOMEWAY TO BECOME GREATER: Seasonal temperature differences and variances on the earth would be too extreme to sustain life. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS LESSER OR WAS IN SOMEWAY TO BECOME LESSER: Seasonal temperature differences on the earth would be too alike and hence most likely diminish Bio-diversity, which is mandatory for food chains to develop and exist.
Axial Tilt, see also 4. h. 3. 46.. [The Ecliptic, in astronomy, is the apparent great-circle annual path of the sun in the celestial sphere, as seen from the earth. It is so named because eclipses occur only when the moon is on or near this path. It is also known to Rabbi’s that every solar eclipse that has ever happened or will ever happen always occurs on the first day of a given Hebrew month. This is called Rosh Chodesh, the Biblical festival of the new moon as the Biblical calendar is lunar based, commencing with the new moon. The time of the new moon is the only time the moon is in between the earth and sun. Psalms 81:3 “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.”, Isaiah 66:23 “And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”. The plane of this path, called the plane of the ecliptic, intersects the celestial equator (the projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere) at an angle of about 23°27’. This angle is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic and is approximately constant over a long time period of many years, although at present it is decreasing at the rate of about 48 seconds of arc in each century and will decrease until it reaches 22°54’, after which it will again increase. The two points at which the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator are called nodes or equinoxes. The sun arrives at the vernal equinox approximately March 21 and at the autumnal equinox around September 22. Midway between the equinoxes are the summer and winter solstices. The sun enters these points about June 21 and December 22, respectively. The names of the four points correspond to the seasons with respect to the northern hemisphere on these dates. The equinoxes do not occur at the same points of the ecliptic every year, for the plane of the ecliptic and the plane of the equator revolve in opposite directions. The two planes make a complete revolution with respect to each other once every 25,868 years according to present measurements. The movement of the equinoxes along the ecliptic is called the precession of the equinoxes. A correction for this precession must be applied to celestial charts to find the true position of the stars at any given time or to properly determine the Ephemeris time.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS GREATER OR WAS IN SOMEWAY TO BECOME GREATER: Surface temperature differentials on the earth would vary to extremes breaking through life boundaries. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS LESSER OR WAS IN SOMEWAY TO BECOME LESSER: Surface temperature differentials on the earth would be too indistinguishable and hence most likely limit Bio-diversity, which is requisite for food chains to develop. To reiterate, if God allowed the following parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist.
Rotation Period [Presently measured to be just slightly under 24 hours – 23 hours, 56 minutes , 4.1 seconds]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LONGER: Diurnal temperature differences on the planet would become too extreme, disrupting life processes. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME OF SHORTER DURATION: Surface temperature differentials, responsible for “thermals” – wind updrafts-- on the earth would produce atmospheric wind velocities too great for life activities; chaos and turbulence would predominate surface conditions.
Rate of Change in Rotation Period [Presently decreasing at a rate of about 0.5 seconds per decade]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Surface, air and water temperature ranges necessary for life could not be adhered to. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME OF SHORTER DURATION: Surface, air and water temperature ranges necessary for life could not be adhered to.
*** Age of Earth [Present estimates for the age of the earth are from 4.5 – 5.5 billion years old; based mainly on radio-Uranium dating.]: IF TOO YOUNG: Planetary formation models call for a rapidly spinning body; rather much like a rotating figure skater with arms held in close, would rotate too rapidly, life could not be sustained. IF TOO AGED: The earth would rotate too slowly, life could not be sustained for many reasons. One such reason is the ability of the oceans to accommodate the undesirable by-products of technology based civilizations. At the present time, large regions of some oceans have become essentially sterile. Since it is the phytoplankton which are chiefly responsible for atmospheric oxygen production, large scale kill-offs in ocean areas can unfavorably impact life on earth.
Earth’s Magnetic Field strength; IF MORE POWERFUL OR STRONGER: Electromagnetic storms on our sun would interact much more intensely with the earth’s magnetic field and such interaction would be too severe to provide an acceptable environment for life. IF WEAKER : The Ozone shield would be made inadequately thick enough [presently just a couple of millimeters thick] and improperly positioned {due to ozone’s – O3 - magnet polarity) to protect life on earth from intense and powerful stellar and solar radiation. Presently, the magnetic field of the earth is becoming alarmingly weaker. The Northern [Aurora Borealis] and Southern [Aurora Australis] lights are solar particles interacting with the magnetic field of the earth. Should the field become depleted, ionizing radiation will come through, virtually unhindered, to destroy the molecules of life. Indeed, the degradation of the earth’s magnetic field is quite an anomaly, patches of “North pole” magnetism appearing in southern regions and vice versa.
Thickness of Earth’s Crust [about 60 miles in some of the more thicker locations.]: IF THICKER: Too much Oxygen would be transferred from the atmosphere to the crust; as most rocks are oxides of some element or combination of some elements. IF THINNER: Volcanic and Tectonic activity would be too vast, great clouds of gas, smoke and dust plumes would block sunlight producing “nuclear winter” effects.
Seismic activity rates, including earthquakes, volcanism, and tsunamis. Although the U.S.C.G.S. [United States Coastal and Geodetic Survey] vigorously deny that earthquake activity has not increased, there is no escaping the fact that magnitude 5 and greater earthquakes have definitely increased in the latter half of the 20th century. IF THESE PARAMETER WERE OR WERE IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: It goes without saying that destruction of cities and villages would increase. Toxic gases and substances would be unleashed into the atmosphere and oceans. The tsunami of December of 2005 killed more than 250,000 people and slowed the rotation of the earth by about 2 microseconds. Tsunamis tend to take bottom settled wastes lift it up and carry these substances far inland. Plumes of sunlight obscuring clouds would cause the average temperature to fall. Yeshua associated earthquake activity with the end of days: KJVMatthew 24:7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”, KJVMatthew 27:54 “Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”, KJVMatthew 28:2 “And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.”, KJVMark 13:8 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.”, KJVLuke 21:11 “And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”. earthquake, Hebrew: ‘wfarA’, ‘ra‘ash’, Greek: ‘&#61555;&#61541;&#61545;&#61555;&#61549;&#61551;&#61474;’, ‘seismos’. KJV1 Kings 19:11-12; KJVJob 39:24, 41:29; KJVIsaiah 9:5, 29:6; KJVJeremiah 10:22, 47:3; KJVEzekiel 3:12-13; 12:18, 37:7, 38:19; KJVAmos 1:1; KJVNahum 3:2; KJVZechariah 14:5; KJVMatthew 8:24, 24:7, 27:54, 28:2; KJVMark 13:8; KJVLuke 21:11; KJVActs 16:26; KJVRevelation 6:12, 8:5, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18. IF THESE PARAMETER WERE OR WERE IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESSER. Oddly enough some amount of constant activity is necessary to reintroduce sections of crust material into magma chambers and re-emerge as very arable land and to propel the process of mountain building.
Albedo effect (Ratio of reflected light to total amount falling on Earth’s surface. For example, the moon seems bright but it’s albedo is only about 7%; thus it reflects only about 7% of the light that initially falls on it. The earth is much less being only about 1%.. In contrast, the albedo of the planet Neptune is quite high about 84%.): IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Runaway glaciation would dictate global weather characteristics. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESSER: Runaway greenhouse effects would dominate global weather characteristics and terminate life. Presently, the earth is seeing and feeling the effect of a three degree (Fahrenheit) rise (since the 1800’s) in the earth’s average temperature with more frequent and intense storms and drought patterns.
Collision Rate with Asteroids and Comets. This apocalyptic topic has Hollywood so fired up, they can not seem to stop making movies about this topic. However there is something noteworthy here: Heavenly events (“signs in the moon, stars and sun” - Luke 21:25 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;”.) are of great significance. Palms 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.”. The Hale-Bopp comet has been calculated as having an orbital period of between 3500-4200 years. Either number is significant (the uncertainty in the calculations derive from planetary gravitational "tugs" making exact calculations difficult). 3,500 = 70 X 50 seventy jubilees, both number’s are highly significant from a scriptural perspective. This orbital period of 3,500 yr. harkens back to Moses and thus symbolizes great deliverance for God’s people. An orbital period of 4,200 yr. represents it’s being here last in the time of Noah (When the righteous were lifted above---by water {—The Holy Spirit—} and as such represents a type, foreshadow and similitude of the rapture. The Shoemaker-Levy Comet fragmented into 21 pieces and impacted Jupiter over a 7 day period from July 16, 1994 to July 22, 1994. {Asteroids, as foreshadowed by the Shoemaker-Levy Comet will be part of earth’s form of future judgmental punishment: STONING The ordinary form of capital punishment prescribed by Hebrew law. Stoning was the penalty for blasphemy (Leviticus 24:16), idolatry (Deuteronomy 13:6-10), desecration of the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36), human sacrifice (Leviticus 20:2), and occultism (Leviticus 20:27). Achan and his family were stoned because of his treachery to Israel (Joshua 7:16-26). Yeshua rebuked Jerusalem for stoning prophets (Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34). Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:58-59). Executions by stoning took place outside the city (Leviticus 24:14; 1 Kings 21:10; 1 Kings 21:13; Acts 7:58).} July 16 1994 was Tisha B’Av [The ninth day of the fifth Hebrew month] on the Jewish calendar that year. Tisha B’Av (The 9th day of Av) is the anniversary day of the destruction of both the 1st & 2nd Temples. The 21 pieces could be thought of as representative of the 21 impending judgements of the Book of Revelation (7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, and 7 Bowls; the 7 thunder judgments were not explained by John.); and Tisha B’Av seems an appropriate day for such a stellar event.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Too many plant and animal species would become extinct. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESSER: The Earth’s crust would become too depleted of rare materials necessary for life.
Mass density and orbital periods of the “inner” planets [Much ado has been made over the alignment of the planets and proven to have no effects, except perhaps psychological.]: IF THE INFLUENCE OF THESE FACTORS INCREASED: The perturbations induced in the earth’s cosmological mechanics of revolving around the sun and it’s daily rotation would be so drastic as to snuff out life. IF THE INFLUENCE OF THESE FACTORS DECREASED: All life would still be in jeopardy. These rapidly moving, dense inner planets take many hits from asteroids as demonstrated by their pock marked surfaces; as do the much larger outer planets. Who could say how many of these collisions would have been with the earth if these inner and outer planets had not intercepted them.
Oxygen to Nitrogen Ratio in the atmosphere [presently about 1:4]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Advanced life functions would proceed too rapidly, organisms would “burn up” from the excess of Oxygen. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER:. Advanced life functions and metabolic rates would progress too slowly; organisms that have large oxygen demand requirements would suffer or have to progress in an unacceptable manner. If competition for available Oxygen was critical many organisms would suffer or perish altogether.
Carbon Dioxide level in the atmosphere [Presently about 350 ppm]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Runaway greenhouse effects would preside over global weather characteristics, eventually causing the cessation of life. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER: Plants would be unable to maintain efficient or effective photosynthesis necessary for food production with the subsequent production of oxygen.
The 11 year sun spot cycle [A typical sunspot has a magnetic-field strength of approximately 2500 gauss. The earth's magnetic field, by comparison, has a strength of less than 1 gauss. Sunspots tend to occur in couplets, with the two spots having magnetic fields that emanate in opposite directions; one into and one out of the sun. The sunspot cycle, in which the number of sunspots varies from low to high and then low again over 11 years, has been known for quite sometime. The radiated effects of these sunspots cause disruptions to radio, telecommunication, and power transmission and distribution systems. The intricate magnetic paradigms associated with the solar cycle, however, was detected only after the discovery of the sun's magnetic field. Sunspot pairs in the sun's northern hemisphere, the spot that leads its counterpart in the direction of rotation has a magnetic-field direction opposite to that of a leading sunspot in the southern hemisphere. As a new 11-year cycle begins, the magnetic-field direction of leading sunspots in each hemisphere reverses. Thus, the full solar cycle, including the magnetic-field polarity, takes approximately 22 years. In addition, the sunspots on the sun at any given time tend to occur at the same latitude in each hemisphere. This latitude moves from about 45° to about 5° during the sunspot cycle. Because each sunspot normally exists for, at most, only a few months, the 22-year solar cycle reflects deep-seated and long-lasting processes in the sun and not just the properties of individual sunspots. Recent photographs from the SOHO satellite shows sunspots of longer duration than previously documented. The implications of this change of sunspot life time is uncertain at this point.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER IN MAGNITUDE AND/OR LONGER IN DURATION: Magnetic storms produced on the Earth by the interaction of the Earth’s magnetic field with that produced by solar storms would produce unacceptable disruption to life and physical processes on Earth to the point of disruption of life processes. Magnetic field patterns found in rocks that were once heated and acquired the pattern of the Earth’s magnetic field at that time show that “reversals” of the Earth’s magnetic field have occurred in the past. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME SMALLER IN MAGNITUDE AND/OR SHORTER IN DURATION: Ozone formation in the upper atmosphere would be deleteriously degraded. In addition, lessening the ejection’s from these storms would affect the atmospheric ionization patterns ultimately altering global weather patterns.
Atmospheric Electric Discharge Rate [Present estimates are on the order of 10,000 lightning strokes per hour. An intense stroke can involve one million volts and one million amperes.]: IF GREATER AND/OR MORE INTENSE: Too much fire destruction would result and too much ozone would be generated. Ground based ozone is one of the major constituents of smog; it is very oxidizing and causes premature aging effects on just about everything. IF LESSER AND/OR LESS INTENSE: Insufficient Atmospheric Nitrogen fixation would take place for proper nutrient levels for plant life. Recently deployed NASA satellites designed for lightening observations have shown (proven) that 90% of all lightening strikes, hit land and of the ones that do strike water their intensity of discharge is 90% of the strength of those over land. These data make Miller’s primordial “soup” experiments invalid. In Miller’s experiments the electrical discharge was premeditatedly designed to obtain the amino groups he wanted. In that fashion the experimental variable of electrical discharge was “rigged”. In addition, the discharge employed in the Miller experiment lasted continuously for two weeks,,, no bolt of natural lightening has such a continuous duration; and Miller adjusted the energy input to keep obtaining the results he wanted, such judicial control over experimental variables would not be operative in a “random” universe. In fact, the presence of intelligence in Miller’s experiments, by introducing the correct elements, in proper quantities, under the proper circumstances, simply furthers the fact that Life is the result of divine intellect. The irony for the evolutionist is that the more complex the machinery and design of laboratory experiments to cleverly unlock bio-chemical operations just furthers the proof that life was intelligently designed.
Ozone [O3] Level in Atmosphere: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME GREATER: More solar radiation would be blocked and surface temperatures on the earth would become too low. The low temperature effects would dictate global weather characteristics toward glaciation. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESSER: Surface temperatures on the earth would be too high; the effects of UV radiation at the surface would disrupt life’s molecular processes. To reiterate, if God allowed the following parameters, to drift by more than &#61617; 0.01% of present values, life would cease to exist.
Oxygen Level in Atmosphere [Presently about 20% by volume; some life forms are anaerobic which can live without the presence of Oxygen. Most life forms are aerobic which require Oxygen for respiration purposes.]: IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Plants, animals and Hydrocarbons would be Oxidized too quickly, too much heat would be generated in a given time span and too many essential hydrocarbons would be rendered useless and made unavailable for incorporation into life processes. IF THIS PARAMETER WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESS: Aerobically powered life processes would ultimately cease to function.
Tectonic Plate Activity Level. Plate Tectonics, serves as the premise of global geologic structural deformations, that has been employed as a fairly recent model for comprehension of the structure, history, and dynamics of the earth's crust. The hypothesis is based on the observation that the earth's solid crust is broken up into about a dozen or so semi-rigid, major plates. The boundaries of these plates are zones of physical and mechanical forces and pressures, where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tend to transpire and concentrate. The areas where the plates meet can occur under the oceans as demonstrated by the Mid Atlantic ridge (A geosyncline site). In the North Atlantic, the velocity of movement is only about 1 cm (about 0.4 in) per year, while in the Pacific it amounts to more than 4 cm (almost 2 in) annually. Continental plates breach, drift apart, and eventually collide with each other. Such collisions crumple geosynclinal sediments, thus creating future mountain chains. One of the more compelling arguments for continental drift was advanced by the geometric matching of continental margins, which are postulated to have rifted apart. Support for this theory, is found in rock formations on opposite sides of the Atlantic—in Brazil and West Africa—match in age, type, structure and contour. Furthermore, they often contained fossils of terrestrial creatures that could not have swum from one continent to the other. However, no such match is found—for example, along the entire circum-Pacific belt (sometimes referred to as the “ring of fire”) or along the Burma-Indonesian sector of the Indian Ocean. This discrepancy called into question if the continents had indeed drifted apart as postulated. There were dynamic problems unique to Pacific-type coasts where earthquakes associated with these belts are at shallow depths near the outer (ocean) side of volcanic island arcs, but that the depth of seismic shocks increases until it reaches a maximum of about 700 km (about 430 miles) at a distance of 700 km landward from the front of the arc. By close seismic analysis of a single faulting instance, it was concluded that this geometry represented a fault plane extending through the crust into the upper mantle and inclined downward, toward land, at an angle of about 45°. A similar underthrusting, of the Southern Alps beneath the Northern Alps, was eventually dubbed subduction. The existence of similar subduction planes has now been demonstrated along almost all Pacific-type coasts. Most of these belts disclose a major shear-fault system that runs parallel to the general mountain system. Over long time intervals, the movement on the fault changes from gradual to abrupt, and a shift of about 1 to 5 m (about 3 to 15 ft) may be produced by just a single earthquake. During subduction, ocean crust is constantly being drawn down into the mantle and melted. Because it is continually recycled, no part of the modern ocean crust is, in geologically terms, very old. An important effect of the melting of subducted ocean crust is the production of new magma. When subducted ocean crust melts, the magma that forms rises upward from the plane of subduction, deep within the mantle, to erupt on the earth's surface. Eruption of magma melted by subduction has created long, arc-shaped chains of volcanic islands, such as Japan, the Philippines, and the Aleutians. Where an oceanic tectonic plate is subducted beneath continental crust, the magma produced by subductive melting erupts from volcanoes situated among long, linear mountain chains, such as the Cordillera, up to 100 km (about 62 miles) inland from the zone of subduction. In addition to creating and feeding continental volcanoes, melting of subducted ocean crust is responsible for the formation of certain kinds of ore deposits of valuable metallic minerals. IF THIS ACTIVITY WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LARGER: Too many life forms would be destroyed. IF THIS ACTIVITY WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME DIMINISHED: Nutrients and minerals on ocean floors (due to runoff’s from rivers) would not be recycled at a rate satisfactory to sustain most land and sea based life forms.
Ocean - to – Continent Area and Volume Ratios The atmosphere is the spherical gaseous envelope that surrounds the solid body of the planet. Although it has a thickness of more than 1100 km (more than 700 miles), about half its mass is concentrated in the lower 5.6 km (3.5 miles). The hydrosphere is the layer of water that, in the form of the oceans, covers approximately 70.8% of the surface of the earth. The volume of the earth’s upper crust is about 2.463 x !020 cubic miles; The volume of the hydrosphere is about 3.239 x 10^8 cubic miles. The ratio of water surface area to land surface area is 2.43:1. The ratio of the volume of the hydrosphere to the volume of the earth’s upper crust is 1.352 x 10-12 : 1.]: IF THESE RATIOS WERE GREATER OR IN SOME FASHION TO BECOME GREATER: The heat holding capacities of the water and land would change (these things are related to the specific heats of these substances) thus impacting the diversity and complexity of life. Life forms would be too limited thus preventing the necessary bio-diversity, interactions and complexities for life webs to exist. IF THESE RATIOS WERE LESSER OR IN SOME FASHION TO BECOME LESSER: The heat holding capacities of the water and land would change (these things are related to the specific heats of these substances) thus impacting the diversity and complexity of life. Life forms would be too limited thus preventing the necessary bio-diversity, interactions and complexities for life webs to exist.
Global Distribution of the Earth’s Continent’s land masses: IF TOO MUCH IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE: Given the present Solar Inclinations, seasonal temperature differentials would be too severe for life to progress. IF TOO MUCH IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE: Given the present Solar Inclinations, seasonal temperature differentials would foster weather patterns and extremes too severe for life to progress.
Gravitational Interaction with the moon. Tides are the periodic ascent and descent of all ocean waters, including those of open sea, gulfs, estuaries, and bays, attributable to the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun upon the water and upon the earth itself. The moon, being much closer to the earth than the sun, is the chief cause of tides. When the moon is directly over a given point on the surface of the earth, it exerts a potent pull on the water, which therefore rises above its normal level. Intriguingly enough water covering the diametrically opposite portion of the earth which is farthest from the moon is also subject to this pull; so that another distinct dome of water is formed thus providing the basis for a second wave. The lunar wave crest directly beneath the moon is called the direct tide, and the crest on the far side of the earth is called the opposite tide. At both crests, the condition known as high tide prevails, while along the circumference of the earth perpendicular to the direct-opposite tidal axis, phases of low water occur. Low and high tides alternate in a continuous cycle. The variations that naturally occur in the level between successive high tides and low tides are referred to as the range of tide. At most shores throughout the world, two high tides and two low tides occur every lunar day, the average length of a lunar day being 24 hr, 50 min, and 28 sec. One of these high waters is caused by the direct-tide crest and the other by the opposite-tide crest. Two successive high tides or low tides are commonly of approximately the same height magnitude. At various places outside the Atlantic Ocean, however, these heights vary considerably; this phenomenon, which is known as diurnal inequality, is not completely understood at the present time. The sun likewise provides rise to two oppositely situated wave crests, but because the sun is far from the earth, its tide-raising capability is only about 46 percent that of the moon. The vector sum of the forces exerted by the moon and sun result in a wave consisting of two crests, the positions of which are a function of the relative positions of the sun and moon at the time. During the periods of new and full moon, when the sun, moon, and earth are directly in line, the solar and lunar waves coincide. This results in the condition known as spring tides, in which the high water is higher and the low water is lower than usual. When the moon is in it’s first or third quarter, however, it is at right angles to the sun relative to the earth, and the height of the waves is subject to the orthogonal and opposing forces of the sun and moon. This condition yields neap tides, in which the high water is lower, and the low water higher, then normal. Spring and neap tides have a lagging time effect occurring about 60 hours after the corresponding phases of the moon, the intervening period of time being known as the age of the tide or age of the phase inequality. The interval of time between the crossing of a meridian by the moon at one point and the next high water at that point is called the lunitidal interval, or the high tide interval for that point. The low tide interval is the period between the time the moon crosses the meridian and the next low tide. Accompanying the vertical rise and fall of water are various horizontal or lateral movements of water commonly known as tidal currents or tidal streams, which are very different from the common ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream, which provides substantial quantities of warmth to the British Isles during their winter months. In confined areas, a tidal current flows for a little more than 6 hours in an upstream or shoreward direction, corresponding to high tide; it then reverses and flows for approximately the same time in the opposite direction, corresponding to low tide. During the period of reversal, the water is characterized by a state of rest, or calm, known as slack water. A current flowing toward the shore or upstream is called flood current; that flowing in a direction away from land or downstream is known as ebb current. At various times on the open sea waves of five to six feet in height, called tsunamis or harbor waves, rush towards shore with velocities near 500 mph and strike the surrounding shore with tremendous force as they rise to heights of 50 – 60 feet just prior to attaining the shore and cause considerable damage to life and property. These waves are not caused by natural tidal phenomena, but by earthquakes, mid-ocean volcanic eruptions, and serious atmospheric disturbances. The energy of tides has been harnessed to produce electricity in France. The highest high tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy in Canada, where the difference between high and low tide is about 18 m (about 60 ft). The erection of a tidal power plant across Passamaquoddy Bay, could produce many megawatts of electric power. IF THIS ACTIVITY WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME GREATER: Tidal effects on the Oceans, Atmosphere and Rotational Period would be too injurious to life processes. IF THIS ACTIVITY WAS OR WAS IN SOME MANNER TO BECOME LESSER: Orbital obliquity changes would occur which in turn would cause unacceptable climatic instabilities; Movement of nutrients and life from the oceans to the continents and vice versa would be disrupted sufficiently to destabilize webs of life. Also the Earth’s magnetic field would be weakened so as to become unable to sustain required conditions for life.
The summation of the above section is to show that those who have studied God’s creation so closely are more, not less, answerable to God for believing in God than those who have not so studied. The above empirical parameters are not meant to be an exhaustive list, there are many more, the point is the majority of the universe is a place obviously hostile to life as it is known on earth. In science, medicine, and mathematics, when one comes across a persistent specimen or sample so far out of the norm, as earth is from the rest of the universe, it must be concluded that that specimen is different from all else because something caused the differences that are exhibited by it. That “something” is God, the God faithfully recorded in the scriptures. It is clear to see that God did not use “Ockham’s Razor” when it came to the Chemistry of life.

Y’va-reh-cha-cha Ah-doe-nigh v’yeesh-m’reh-cha, Ya-air Ah-doe-nigh, pa-navh ay-leh-cha vee-choo-neh-ka, Yee-sa Ah-doe-nigh pa-nahv al-leh-cha ve-ya-sem l’cha Shalom. (Numbers 6:24-26). The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.

Nice word salad. Here is what I want you to do, and I want you to use as much energy as you used in the above writing. I want you to rewrite the above leaving the "God" aspect out, and explain it as an effect that could have happened just the way it did happen. Yes, if this was too much or that was too little things would have been different - but they weren't too much or too little, and, it could have just - happened.

Your approach is based on a pre-supposition, not unlike the biblical scholars of 150 years ago. That pre-supposition is the existence of a character that entered our history 5400 years ago, and developed into various forms as time went on - that of some great god out there in the vastness of the heavens. Before that, there was no sign of "god" at all.

So, rewrite that and we can compare your two texts side by side. The only reason you wouldn't do that is because your pre-conceived beliefs are getting in the way. Research needs to be thorough, and, all sides need to be looked at. We could all argue your points, but, it would be better if you argued them with yourself first, because I don't think you have done that yet. And if you have, let's take them one by one as single topics. As single topics we could all get involved and those who know much more about the science aspects of this picture than others can voice views as well.

There is no reason to re-write it sans God. God is the uncaused cause and thus does not require caused things, (created creatures) to justify His existence. Although there are a plethora of objective and subjective evidences to substantiate His existence.

So then, this becomes a typical religious belief post and goes no further than the other posts that rant about the same subject. Thank you for clearing that up, I have to go out today and didn't want to miss this. Now I know - it doesn't matter.
