brief, deep thoughts



Have you ever wondered how someone could not believe in God? To contemplate our existence should be evidence enough. There is just no way that our planet can be revolving at just the right distance from an energy source that provides us with some of the basic building blocks for us to survive on without a Divine Being having willingly designed it as such.
When you look at scientific facts, to me it makes no sense that it can all be just simple coincidence that we are occupying this space, this planet. Our home is the only one we know of in our solar system that is capable of sustaining life as we know it. It has energy from the sun, water, gasses, and so much more that we, as living creatures, need in order to survive here and these things are found nowhere else on any of the planets in the near vicinity.
If you sit back, think about our location, how we revolve around the sun, how we rotate on our axis giving us what we need to maintain a healthy life with the amount of daylight we receive and the length of our nights for us to sleep. Think about the air we breathe and how we obtain that. Think about how symbiotic our lives are with some of the simplest forms of life, plants, and how we need and rely on each other for survival. Through photosynthesis, plants survive. Plants give off oxygen, which we need, and we give plants the carbon dioxide they need to survive.
Plants also provide us with food, not only for our selves, but for other things that we consume. Plants give us our atmosphere. These things simply did not appear from nowhere. They were created for us to help us survive. They not only give us foundations for life, but they also protect us in so many ways, the least of which is giving us shelter.
If you just look at the picture, think about your life. Think about how amazing it is. Think about how perfect the location and actions of our planet are. It's not coincidence. It's the work of God.
