David Rives: The Wonders of Mathematics, the Universe and Earth Science

Opening Banter and Ministry Announcements

Good evening, and thank you for joining us as I click through my stuff here. Creation fellowship in Santee has been meeting for ten years eight years in person and Presently online for two years. We're a group of people who come together to learn more about the six-day creation account that happened some 6 ,000 years ago.

You can find creation fellowship Santee as a public page Where we're live-streaming Facebook right now and a private group on Facebook. You can watch past presentations on our video platforms at YouTube Rumble and bit shoot by searching creation fellowship Santee or just CFS 2020 if you have questions or like to get on our emailing list.

I am responsible for the email and I do not spam. I send out one email a week or Sometimes two if I find newsworthy information. Send us an email at creation fellowship Santee at gmail .com With questions or to get on our emailing list.

We're doing a new thing this year. We're partnering with throughout all ages ministries and I'm going to pass this over to Stacy and she can tell us all about that and Open us up for prayer and introduce our speaker.

Absolutely. Thank you so much Robin. I'm gonna go ahead and open up in prayer right now. So if you guys all join me, that would be wonderful. All right, father. God, we just thank you for this time and all the wonderful ministries you provide for us weekly.

And we're just so thankful thankful for that we pray that you would be with this evening study and that you would bless us and bless the speaker and Everything that comes from him that would be from you Lord.

We pray that for this time and we give it over to you Lord in Jesus name. Amen, so hi everyone. I'm Stacy with throughout all ages ministry what we do is go into the public schools to build up the students character to intellectually help Point them to think about their worldview so they can weigh it with truth because the statistics are 65 to 85 percent of kids who grow up in a Christian home walk away from their faith.

And so if you would like more information, please go to throughout all ages ministry Calm so anyways, I'm gonna announce our speaker. His name is David Reese author speaker and researcher and TV host.

David's world travel and research has made an In-demand him an in-demand speaker with an abundance of knowledge and his powerful and inspirational Delivery makes learning about Bible history and science fun and easy for an audience of all ages his his weekly TV show creation in the 21st century airs to millions on and globally on TBN also Genesis Science Network launched as a mission-based free 24 -7 TV channel that broadcasts globally you can watch any time online fire stick or fire TV or Roku also last but not least in Tennessee.

He also has a creation museum that has an immense amount of foundational resources and with no further ado I'm excited to announce our guest speaker David Reese. Welcome, David.

The Atheistic Narrative and the Need to Change It

Thank you for having me. It's great to be here again. You know, I want to say thank you to everybody who's tuned in to the live stream who might be watching today. We are have an unprecedented situation where we have been handed this narrative this atheistic narrative that there is.

There is just something about nature that science has been able to tell us. Nature is all there is. That we don't need God and I'm telling you what this dangerous. We're seeing the result of that everywhere we go.

We're seeing it in the in the media. We're seeing it on social media. We're seeing it every time we turn on the TV and.

What's worse?

Young school children are learning that this is fact. This is the way it's supposed to be. I mean we were talking pre-show.

About.

Situations where Grandchildren going through museums looking at dinosaurs and they they stand up and they're like, you know we know how these things got there they were buried in the flood and. The people running the museum are running these displays immediately counter and they're like no no.

No, this was an asteroid strike a meteor strike. Well, wait a second. Were you there? And so even though we try to share the truth, we're bombarded with this atheistic agenda and You know for for me, it's about changing the narrative.

It's about time that we drop these antiquated views of evolution these antiquated views that were produced You know 150 years ago. It says that you and I were nothing more than accidents the result of random chance star stuff from a Big Bang 14 billion years ago, and I'm telling you what that is dangerous to society.

It has resulted in a lot of atrocities. We're talking about rises in teen suicide veteran suicide school shootings all sorts of things going on. If only we took it more seriously that we are made in the image of God that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Boy, what a difference would that make in not only America, but in the world right now. So what I want to do over the next few minutes is kind of talk you talk you through some of God's wonders because I mean I love focusing on the positive and there are an Innumerable number of wonders that point us back to God's design.

So I call those wonders without number there's a passage in the book of Job where Job's going through a really difficult time, obviously and he's reminded there's a passage that says that God does great things past finding out and wonders without number.

So if you think about that for a second you realize that yeah God's done things that in this life will never know. Okay, those that's exciting to think that we're gonna learn a lot in eternity about the way God made everything but He's done great things past finding out but he's done wonders without number.

In other words, there are innumerable number of wonders that we can study that we can use science like our logic our reasoning. Our intelligence to study and we can give him the glory for it so those things I like to call wonders without number and Based off of that passage in the book of Job.

We're just going to touch on a couple over the next few minutes. I want to talk about wonders in mathematics wonders of our special earth wonders in the universe and the ultimate wonder and You know first I'd be remiss if I didn't add that we have this evolutionary theory that is being forced upon us, which is a naturalistic creation account of how the universe came to be.

Which is directly opposed to what we read in the book of Genesis in God's Word God tells us that he made everything in the beginning and this evolutionary account Tells us no nature is all there is nature explains everything given enough time.

So Charles Darwin, of course, most people know the story. He lived during the 1800s. He was actually studying to become a pastor when he realized that he kind of liked collecting beetles more than he liked his pastoral studies so he jumps on a ship the HMS Beagle and he travels to the Galapagos Islands where he sees different birds and These different birds.

They're all finches, but they kind of have a slight variation. Some of them have large beaks. Some of them have small beaks. Some of them have different colorations based on the islands where he's at and he realizes well.

These things are adapting to whatever situation they're placed in and that's that's true. That's observable repeatable demonstrable empirical good science that yes. Animals adapt to whatever situation God has placed them in we adapt to whatever situation God has placed us in but adaptation is not evolution.

So he sees this adaptation and he immediately takes it way too far. That's right. Darwin said well if animals can adapt in tiny ways like this then what if we just give it Millions upon millions of years.

Maybe we can turn an ape like creature into a human or maybe we can turn a hippopotamus Into a giraffe or maybe we can turn an amoeba into an astronaut. And of course, this is so far off track from what we actually observe in science that it's astounding.

It's made it this long as a scientific theory yet. That's what's being taught in schools universities and colleges around the world today.

So.

Charles Darwin kind of had a credibility problem. You see he admitted in The closing comments of his book on the origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favored races. He said there's grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed by the creator Into a few forms or into one.

Wait a second. Charles Darwin is admitting that there's a creator here or is he? You see he had a really bad credibility problem because he later admitted he said, you know I regretted that I truckled a public opinion and used the pentateuchal term of creator by which I really meant Appeared by some wholly unknown process.

In other words What he's saying is that he put the words by the creator into his book so that he could sell more books so that it Would be more palatable for the Christians who might be reading it. Okay, so God used evolution is basically what he's saying, but that's not what he meant.

He meant that all of these animals appeared by an unknown process over millions of years so this is a two-faced man that many people look up to as revolutionary in the fields of science and yet He was flip-flopping based on political opinions.

He was trying to sell more books. You know, our top universities have a long history of Christian tradition and biblical origins yet Later turning to an atheistic stance. For instance, Yale was established in 1701 in an effort to train Preachers their coat of arms to this day contains the biblical phrase Urim and Thummim light and truth and they even actually have that written in Hebrew on their coat of arms to this day but they've gone a long ways from that because you see you can visit the Yale Peabody Museum and you can see something like This the ascent from ape-like creature into man over millions of years if you have any Question about it whatsoever.

Today, you can go to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and you can meet your relatives. Okay, so We're being taught as fact that these ape-like creatures are our relatives over millions of years.

This is inherently a dangerous view because it means that somewhere along the line Some forms of humans are less human than others are closer to apes than others. Which is also an inherently racist viewpoint.

And if you read Charles Darwin's writings and on on the descent of man. There are some incredibly racist viewpoints in that book so you really really careful about this and again, this is a man who has held up as Revolutionary in his field.

Yeah, he revolutionized things but not in a scientific way in a very dangerous way. I Always ask people what effect does evolution have on our faith? Why why can't we just accept that evolution is not a great importance?

Maybe we can try to fit it into Scripture. Maybe we can compromise in some way but Proverbs says every word of God is pure. Add thou not unto his words lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar. So in other words, why would we be trying to compromise and insert ideas into Scripture that are clearly Not there in the literal context of the book of Genesis.

You know again, I say why should we really be concerned? Can it really be a dangerous issue? Absolutely. It's a very dangerous issue. Joseph Stalin was leader of the Soviet Union. He was an atheist obviously, but he imprisoned Millions in labor camps official records indicate he killed about three million people.

It was probably a lot more than that and he promoted now get this now. He promoted atheistic education in the public school system something that we see going on in the States in America. Today it's going on right now here, but this is what he did.

So what was his foundation? What was his basis for doing all of this? Well, he was walking with a childhood friend one day when he volunteered a pretty revealing statement. He said, you know, they're fooling us.

There is no God. I'll lend you a book to read and it will show you that all this talk about God is sheer nonsense and The world and all living things are quite different from what you imagine. Okay, so his friend is like what are you talking about what book and Immediately he comes back with the reply Darwin you must read it in other words Darwin changed his mind about the value of human life about the existence of God about so many different things.

Darwinism our evolution is the first step in a very dangerous path. It leads us down the wrong way. And of course when I say evolution, I'm not talking about adaptation. I'm not talking about survival of the fittest.

The fastest gazelle is going to get away from the line. No, I'm talking about Darwinian evolution are what I like to more clearly specify. Universal common descent that's the idea that everything in the universe Descended from a common ancestor like an amoeba millions or billions of years in the past.

So it's this idea that things have evolved. By nature over millions of years from one type of an animal into another type of an animal no evidence whatsoever. So Darwinism very dangerous even today there's still a debate going on evolution versus creation.

Random chance are inspired design. Basically, are we created with purpose or where we conceived from chaos? And that was the subtitle that I put on my first book wonders without number. Because I realized that that kind of boils it down where we conceive with purpose or where we can see from chaos there are only two options here and.

Of course, there are only there's only one option that makes sense scientifically historically observably and From a Christian perspective. So from a Christian perspective, we have to be consistent when we study scripture.

So what is our foundation? You know, I think that our foundation can be found in the first verse of Scripture. In the Hebrew it says better. She thrile. Oh, he met Hashem. I'm bad targets in English. We know it as in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and.

This.

Monumental verse is the origin of time itself. It's the origin of space. It's the origin of matter. It's the origin of the entire universe. So everything past that if that's the origin of time. Everything past that in history is stacked up on that one verse being true.

You strip that verse away and Everything falls flat. So we have to have this as our foundation as Christians to understand the gospel message itself now. Did Jesus teach with the same foundation? Yeah, absolutely.

He did he said if you would have believed Moses you would have believed me Moses. He was writing about me. So a lot of people immediately say well, wait a second. You're talking about Moses. The Old Testament was writing about Jesus.

Absolutely, the New Testament tells us that Jesus was in the beginning the one doing the creating. He actually existed before all things by him was were all things created. Nothing was made that was made without Jesus Christ.

So in other words, we're talking about God here. But we're talking about Jesus because the word became flesh and dwelt among us. So yeah, he's there at creation working his power to create the universe.

Now.

If Jesus had the same foundation if we have a Christian foundation, what about? The founders of America what foundation did they have said we hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created equal that they are endowed by their government with certain unable.

Oh wait, did I get that wrong? That they are endowed by their creator Not their government not by nature by their creator with unalienable rights life liberty. The pursuit of happiness. Okay, it doesn't get any clearer than that There is a biblical origin For the foundation of this country and we have strayed so so very far.

Mathematics in Creation and the Fibonacci Sequence

So Let's talk about mathematics for a second because when we look at the foundation of some of the greatest scientists of all times I'm talking about Galileo and Kepler and all of these great scientists we find that they usually had a biblical interpretation for Their scientific research for instance Galileo.

I mean he was known as the father of modern observational astronomy. He found Four of Jupiter's largest moons name them. I mean it he has done so much for science and so he's this brilliant scientist and we all know that all brilliant scientists are atheists because an Intellectual atheist is the epitome of science.

It's the top. No. What was his opinion? He said mathematics is the language with which God has written The universe in other words if you want to understand science if you want to understand mathematics if you want to understand nature Look at God.

All right, because mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe. So is this a good foundation to have? Let me tell you the story of a man by the name of Leonardo Fibonacci. Fibonacci was an Italian Mathematician he lived around 1200 AD and he traveled with his father into northern Africa where he became Familiar with what we call the Arabic numeral system.

So, you know, you had the Roman numeral system III Equals three. Well now all of a sudden he's learning about these shorthands and these scribbles and these mathematical equations that you can do using the Arabic numeral system and He started to have fun.

So he started proposing this sequence of numbers where every number is the sum of the previous two numbers now I don't know who all is watching right now, but Mathematics is intimidating to me. Okay. This is a lot simpler than it sounds I'm just gonna put it up on the screen here because you see the very first line says one plus one equals two.

You're gonna take the last two numbers on that equation Drop those down to a new line. So the last two numbers one plus two equals three take those last two numbers two and three equals five three and five equals.

Eight.

Thirteen twenty one thirty four fifty five on and on and on so we take the numbers in red and and Fibonacci said This is a fun mathematical sequence. It's basically just taking the sum of the previous two numbers and adding everything together and it's a mathematical sequence.

It creates the sequence of numbers two, three, five eight thirteen twenty one thirty four fifty five and so on and so on. Now, yeah, that was a fun exercise in mathematics. Until we started to find those patterns in nature.

For instance in the pineapple the pineapple now pineapple has ridges and you can measure those ridges one way let's see if I can put a graphic up on the screen you can measure those ridges one way and It usually equals eight.

You measure the ridges the other way and it equals 13. Okay, both of those are in the Fibonacci sequence. Wait a second. That's just a sequence that a man thought up randomly. Why are we finding that in nature?

Interesting doesn't stop there. Then we realized that the center of a sunflower has all of these seeds in it. Well, the seeds form spirals and rows of spirals. So you start to count the rows of spirals one way it equals 34.

You count the rows of spirals the other way. It equals 55. Wait a second. Both of those are in the Fibonacci sequence. What's going on here? This is just a random sequence of numbers that men thought up maybe not and then Brussels sprouts now listen.

I was blown away when I found this out because Brussels sprouts grow in the Fibonacci sequence. Growing up. I always thought Brussels sprouts grew like this right here. No, seriously Brussels sprouts do grow in the Fibonacci sequence and What we realize is that there are these patterns all throughout nature.

So then Fibonacci Developed this golden ratio where you have this spiral pattern. Let me draw it on the screen. It's a golden ratio that scales up by 1 .618 and it creates the spiral that you see on the screen right now.

Alright.

Again, it's using a piece of graph paper. It's using boxes that represent the 1 plus 1. The 1 plus 2 the 2 plus 3, etc. And then those boxes just get larger and larger and larger. So creates this golden ratio.

Again, just a mathematical exercise, right? Until people started looking at things like The Nautilus shell. Now the Nautilus shell is not a Fibonacci spiral. It has been used as a Fibonacci spiral by some people.

They said oh the Nautilus shells. No, it's not. It's a logarithmic spiral. It is Just as fascinating just as intricate but it's not quite a Fibonacci spiral. So maybe we should stop trying to look for Fibonacci spirals in nature.

Yeah, not so fast. The design and the growth of our outer ear starts as a Fibonacci spiral. And then as our earlobe distends as we get older. So when we're children, it tends to follow a Fibonacci spiral as we get older.

It it falls away from that perfect Fibonacci spiral. Then we started turning our telescopes upwards and looking out into space and realized that some galaxies follow pretty close to a Fibonacci spiral.

Not not perfect, but pretty close and Galaxies like m51 which is on the screen right now. It very closely follows the Fibonacci spiral until you get into those outer arms that have already begun to twist up it twists up because Sometime has passed.

But if billions of years or even millions of years had passed. Those arms should be completely twisted up. We should not see Spiral galaxies and yet we see spiral galaxies in abundance throughout the universe.

So this is actually evidence that we have a relatively young universe thousands not billions and. Then the shape and growth of eggs follow the Fibonacci spiral. We turn our satellites downward and we start taking pictures back towards earth.

Some hurricanes follow a Fibonacci spiral. Coincidence? I don't think so. This is too much to be a coincidence. Numbers are Abstract. They don't really exist. They're in our head. Okay. I have a good friend.

Dr Jason Lyle PhD in astrophysics from the University of Boulder, Colorado and and he's like you can't stomp your toe on a number three and I love the way that he puts that because. When you realize that I'm thinking of a number in my head.

But that number it can be expressed on a piece of paper or it can be expressed by three items on the table. But that's not actually the number three. The number three doesn't exist. It's only in our brains as a way of comprehending something.

So if numbers don't exist Why do we find them all throughout nature? Now, here's where it's so powerful. I mean, this is Unbelievable and a testament to the Creator if the universe is all natural processes, then there is no way that we should be able to comprehend mathematical sequences and then find them in nature, but if we have a creator.

Who formed the universe? Formed the earth using mathematical sequences like Galileo told us if he formed all of that using mathematical sequences. Then he creates us in his image. With just a tiny fraction of his ability to comprehend mathematics.

Well, then that means that the mathematics that we can comprehend we will probably find that he has used When he created the universe. In other words, we're seeing a fingerprint of God's design. With the Fibonacci sequence and I think that's so incredible.

The only way to make sense of it again is from a biblical perspective. Not just a religious perspective because all of these other gods will these pagan gods throughout history. They they're very impersonal and you'll find all of these different stories.

But we realize that the God of the Bible told us that he created us in his image. And he loves us enough that he wants to have a personal relationship with us. Again, when we just look at Fibonacci the Fibonacci sequence in mathematics, we realize wow.

Mathematics numbers are all pointing us back to God's wonders that he's left for us to find throughout the universe. So there's mathematics. Let's move on Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton famous for Gravity an apple falling from a tree but so much more than that.

Sir. Isaac Newton was a great scientist. His foundation was remarkably similar to that of Galileo's. He said God created everything by number weight and measure. So it wasn't everything created itself.

It wasn't, you know natural selection plus time equals Magical design. No, God created everything and he created it by number by weight by measure. He knew what he was doing. There's evidence of a grand designer there.

That was his foundation. Is it true? Well Let's look at the order of the earth for just a moment. So When we look at the universe which we'll get to in just a moment when we look at the universe in all its vastness.

It's easy easy to think of the earth is kind of small and insignificant. It's like a tiny speck floating in space, right? But there are some Extraordinary characteristics that enables earth to survive in a universe that for the most part is hostile to life.

I'll go over a few very quickly. Number one we live in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way galaxy looks something kind of like this and in the center of this Galaxy, we believe there's a very supermassive black hole.

Black hole basically means that anything that gets close to the event horizon or passes the event horizon of this black hole Is sucked in disappearing never to appear again. Not even light can escape this supermassive black hole.

I don't want to live there. All right. What about towards the outer edges of the galaxy? Well, there's not enough heavy elements the things that make up this room this computer you and I they don't exist out there.

I don't want to live there. Where do we live neither one of those places? We're nestled in the perfect spot for life in between the Sagittarius and Perseus arms of the Milky Way. Without the threat of supernova black hole stellar collisions are elemental shortages in short.

We're just in the perfect spot of our galaxy for life. And then that brings us to our position in the solar system. You see we're about 93 million miles away from the Sun which kind of seems trivial. Why do we need to remember this number 93 million miles?

You don't actually have to remember it. But you better be grateful for it because if you did not live 93 million miles away from the Sun you would be regretting it. Right now because if we lived about five percent closer, we would be boiling hot.

Uninhabitable like the planet Venus. I don't want to live there. And now we argue about this astronomers and cosmologists who are always back and forth somewhere between 10 and 20 percent farther. I'm just using the broadest the greatest number.

The most conservative number of 20 percent farther was more likely 10. We would become like the planet Mars. We would be freezing cold. Like the planet Mars. Uninhabitable. I don't want to live there.

All right, so we don't we don't live 10 farther away. We don't live 5 closer. We live in a place that is just right for life. Now this brings out actually one more huge issue. That I might mention if we had a very elliptical orbit that's a very oval shaped orbit around the Sun who would be freezing cold and then boiling hot and then freezing cold and then Boiling hot multiple times per year every time we hit.

Every time we we hit the far point of that ellipsis, okay. So we would be in trouble again instead. We have a very very slightly elliptical orbit. Which is nearly circular. Allowing us to maintain our distance from the Sun very well so that we don't Boil to death and we don't freeze to death.

I'm glad. Now a couple one or two of these things might have been coincidence. Now we're looking at a lot more than coincidence our position in the solar system. For instance, we are very small and we're farther into the solar system.

We have these big gas giants outside like Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus and Neptune Planets like that and what we find is that when cosmic debris comes Streaming into the solar system a lot of times planets like Jupiter big planets will pull those fragments in so the gravity of these big planets kind of act as garbage collectors you might say and that's really good because for example in 1994 comet shoemaker-levy broke apart into 21 fragments it was traveling and the tremendous gravity of Jupiter pulled those fragments in now.

On its way in it was going about a hundred and thirty three thousand miles per hour. Approximately now at that speed you and I could travel from New York to LA in About a minute and a half something like that.

All right, so It was zipping and when it struck Jupiter it struck with the force of a million atom bombs and it sent a mushroom-shaped cloud of gas Over a thousand miles into the atmosphere of Jupiter now if that would have hit earth We wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

We would be gone. We would be dead. Right, but it didn't there are garbage collectors farther out in the solar system coincidence. I Use that word a lot because when you see the vast sheer number of coincidences that would have to happen It just makes it obvious that there's a designer.

When we look at Earth's geomagnetic fields We see the exact same thing the it enables our compasses to be used as a means of navigation but when cosmic radiation when the solar wind comes streaming in from the Sun, well instead of just blasting the earth and baking us all what it actually does is that that Geomagnetic field acts as a deflection shield and the cosmic radiation bounces back out into space except for a few instances.

When tiny bits of radioactive material get trapped right around the poles the north and the south pole of the earth. Which becomes the aurora borealis and australis that's right. The northern and southern lights are actually a colorful reminder that God has his hands of protection around the earth.

He has put a shield around us and if he ever removed that his hands of protection if he ever removed that Geomagnetic field we would be baked to death within minutes. I Sure am glad that God knows what he's doing.

You know, I was actually up in British Columbia Canada on a one-week speaking tour a number of years ago and I just finished speaking at a church. I Had a family driving me back to my hotel for the night.

And on the way they said David do you want to see the largest wooden pier in North America? It's right right off the highway and I just so happen to have my good camera and my tripod in the car. Because hey, I went to British Columbia Canada.

Beautiful up there. I said, well, maybe I'll get some shots. So I'm a little bit tired. But yeah, I say absolutely. Let's take a picture of it. It's dark. We stop. I Set up my tripod. I set up my camera.

I frame it towards this big wooden pier and in my peripheral vision. I see this little flicker. Well, I swing my camera around start taking pictures what you see here the Aurora came out while I was standing there and it was better than This family that was driving me.

They'd lived there for 20 years or something. It was the best they had ever seen it the clearest most vibrant. They had ever seen it just so happened to be while I was standing there and you know. And I don't make it up to British Columbia very often.

So I I mean you think about what the Lord did right there? He knew that I'd always wanted to take a picture of the of the Aurora. He he knew that I was gonna be speaking there. He did not have to make the Aurora appear for me right then.

But he decided to let it happen and I tell you what I always try to take use those photos that I've taken for his glory. So and share them with as many people as possible. So again, it's just a miracle that we see the things we do when it comes to the earth.

We have an amazing moon. Our moon is one quarter the size of the earth. It's the largest moon proportionally out of all of the other moons in the entire solar system now because of that. It actually helps stabilize Earth's axis it helps circulate the warm and cold waters of the oceans.

That affects our tides. That affects our temperature. So many different things that our moon does and by the way our moon. It's the largest moon proportionally, right is Perfectly sized to see a total solar eclipse.

So the moon is Just the right size to completely cover the face of the Sun. Wait a second. The moon is not nearly as large as the Sun. How is that even possible? Well, yeah, the Sun is 400 times larger, but it's 400 times farther away.

So proportionally everything lines up perfectly. Coincidence. Well, you know what? Here's what I like asking people. How many we have over a hundred moons in our solar system in Jupiter upwards of 50 moons.

Okay, over a hundred moons in our solar system. How many people on Jupiter are how many? Planets. Moons satellites of Jupiter are correctly sized to see a total solar eclipse. Zero how many planets how many satellites around the planet somewhere in our solar system?

Anywhere in our solar system are correctly sized to see a total solar eclipse. One and it just so happens. We only have one moon to get it right and we got it, right again. There's no coincidence. We have a breathable atmosphere.

Only this combination of gases is known to exist. On Earth, there's no other place in the entire universe that has known to have this combination of gases. Again, we can breathe easy because of that. We have a terrestrial planet Couldn't live on Jupiter mostly gases.

Okay, but we have land that's important in addition to the land. We have an abundance of liquid water not just any water. Liquid water. Which is one of the rarest things you're gonna find throughout the universe.

Well, you've got it in quite abundance because there was a large flood in the past. You know when we look at all of these Coincidences, I've never thought they were coincidences. There's really no way that they could be.

I'm not surprised Isaiah 45 says thus saith the Lord God himself who formed the earth and made it he established it. He created it not in vain and he formed it to be Inhabited. In other words God made the earth for us for you to live on.

It's pretty special. So again, I'm not surprised the Bible told us that the earth was made to be inhabited. It's a very special place and You know when we start to look at all of these factors These are just God's wonders without number.

They're his his little reminders his little faith builders. I like to call them That he's real he's out there and he loves you and me he loves us a lot. Okay. So now I'm gonna turn to the universe before I do that I want to I want to share a couple of things with you.
