One of the latest findings in the world of science that became a byword among scientists is the so-called anthropic principle. This principle reveals that every detail is there in the universe has been designed with perfect accuracy to enable man to live. Small example of the anthropic principle can be found on the facts relating to the existence of the earth. In this case, an American astronomer Hugh Ross in his book The Fingerprint of God, Recent Scientific Discoveries Reveal the Unmistakable Identitiy of the creator has made ​​his own list as follows.

1. Distance of earth to the sun

Distance sun to the earth is 149,669,000 kilometers (or 93 million miles). This distance is known as the astronomical unit and the usual rounded (for simplification count) to 148 million km. Compared with the earth, sun diameter of approximately 112 time. Sun's gravity is about 30 times the force of gravity. Sunlight 8 minutes travel time to get to Earth.

-If farther: planet would be too cold for a stable water cycle
-If closer: planet would be too hot for a stable water cycle

2. Gravity at Earth's surface

Surface gravity of an astronomical objects (planets, stars, etc.) is the acceleration of gravity in effect at the surface of the object. Surface gravity depends on mass and radius of the object. Often the surface gravity is expressed as the ratio of the price prevailing on Earth.

-If stronger: atmosphere would hold too much toxic gases (ammonia and methane)
-If you are weaker: the earth's atmosphere will be too thin because a lot of air loss

3. The period of rotation of the earth

Earth Rotation refers to the movement of planet Earth rotates on its axis and movement in its orbit around the sun. The period of rotation of the Earth on its axis in relation to the star is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4091 seconds. The period of rotation in relation to the sun is 24 hours.

-If more time: the temperature difference between day and night too large
-If more quickly: the wind speed is too high in the atmosphere

4. Albedo

Albedo is a quantity that describes the ratio of sunlight that arrives at Earth's surface and are reflected back into space with changes in wavelength (outgoing longwave radiation). Wavelength difference between incoming and reflected can be associated with how much solar energy is absorbed by the earth's surface.

-If larger: an ice age would happen uncontrollably
-If smaller: greenhouse effect will occur uncontrollably

5. Earthquake Activity

An earthquake is a vibration or shock that occurs on the surface of the earth. Earthquakes are usually caused by movement of the earth's crust (tectonic plates). The word earthquake is also used to indicate the origin of the earthquake occurrence. Our Earth is solid though, always moving, and earthquakes occur when the pressure is happening because the movement was already too large to hold.

-If larger: too many creatures perish
-If less: food seabed will not be recycled into the mainland through tectonic uplift

6. The thickness of the crust

The crust is the outermost layer of Earth is divided into 2 categories, namely the ocean crust and continental crust. Oceanic crust has a thickness of about 5-10 km, whereas the continental crust has a thickness of about 20-70 km. The author, a major oceanic crust is basaltic rock, whereas the continental crust rocks are the main constituent is a granite, basalt rock that is not crowded. The earth's crust and part of the lithospheric mantle to form layers with a total thickness of approximately 80 km.

-If thicker: too much oxygen berpidah from the atmosphere to the Earth's crust
-If thinner: volcanic and tectonic activity would be too big

7. Earth's magnetic field

Earth's magnetosphere is a region in space whose shape is determined by the extent of the internal magnetic field of Earth, the solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field. In the magnetosphere, a mixture of ions and free electrons from the solar wind and Earth's ionosphere and magnetic force is limited by the power that is stronger than gravity and collisions.

-If stronger: electromagnetic storms would be too damaging
-If you are weaker: the lack of protection from harmful radiation coming from outer space

8. Gravitational interactions with the moon

Months pulled by Earth's gravity does not fall into the Earth caused by the centrifugal force arising from the Moon's orbit around the earth. The amount of centrifugal force the Moon is slightly larger than the gravitational force attraction between the Earth and Moon. This causes the Moon further away from Earth at about 3.8 cm / year.

-If greater: tidal effects on the ocean, atmosphere and the rotation period of further damage
-If less: indirect changes in the orbit cause climate instability

9. Levels of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere

Earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen (78.17%) and oxygen (20.97%), with a little argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (variable, but approximately 0.0357%), water vapor and other gases. The atmosphere protects life on earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun's rays and reducing temperature extremes between day and night. 75% of the atmosphere within 11 km of the planet's surface. The atmosphere does not have abrupt boundaries, but rather thin gradually with increasing altitude, there is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space.

-If larger: greenhouse effect will occur uncontrollably
-If smaller: greenhouse effect is not sufficient

10. Levels of ozone in the atmosphere

Ozone consists of three molecules of oxygen and very harmful to human health. Naturally, the ozone generated by ultraviolet light mixing with the earth's atmosphere and form an ozone layer at an altitude of 50 kilometers. Ozone is concentrated in the lower stratosphere between 15 and 30 km above the earth's surface, known as the 'ozone layer'. Ozone is produced by various chemical compounds, but the main mechanism for income and transfer in the atmosphere is the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

-If larger: the Earth's surface temperature too low
-If smaller: Earth's surface temperature too high, too much ultraviolet radiation


The list above is just a few examples of the many abundant data about the anthropic principle. However, even this is little enough to destroy the myth that materialist scientists believed, namely that the existence of the earth and its life have happened by chance to him through a series of random events without planning. Anyone who studies these data will not fail to come to the conclusion that the earth is a place that has been designed with an unimaginable level of complexity and with a perfect fit for the continuation of life in it.

For those of us who live on the earth, maybe you think we've really understand the happenings of life on this planet, but not necessarily, there are some facts you might not know. Perhaps a glimpse not occurred to you, here are a few things to note is quoted from Beijing Technology. Try to answer for a moment, see how broad your understanding about this problem.

Whether in one day it will always be 24 hours?
At 1000 years ago, one day on Earth only 18 hours a day, from day to day more and slow the rotation of the earth, and in one day now is 24 hours, according to calculations of scientists, that someday in the future, in one day on earth will to 960 hours!
 
How much surface area of the earth?
Earth's surface area is 510.1 million square kilometers.

How vast desert on earth?
Approximately one third of the earth is a desert area, if man does not restrict the behavior of individuals, then the desert-sand will be more widespread. Sahara Desert in North Africa is the largest desert in the world, is 23 times ubik stored in the earth's fresh water, nearly half are within half a mile near the earth's surface. On the surface of Mars there are also lots of water, but, until now the water is detected in the form of solids, no one knows for sure how much actual water content found there.

Where on earth region vulnerable earthquake and volcanic eruptions?
Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes occur at 12 border points of the earth plates, and a little more they move on the surface of the earth. However, one of the most active plate is the Pacific plate, the border area surrounding the plate these frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, because it is also called seismic and volcanic regions of the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Alaska to South America, coverage area This is very broad.

Is the earth's core is solid?

According to the news that the earth's core is a solid part, however, because the temperature is too high so around the center of the earth has melted, we never got to the center of the earth, so scientists are also unable to mengomposisinya definitely and accurately. Recently there are scientists who put forward a concept that was bold and quite attractive, which makes a hole with a drill and then inserting a detector to investigate more about the inside of the earth.

What is the fastest wind speed on the surface of the earth?
Wind speed "normal" the most rapid in the earth's surface reaches 372 km / h, this is a record that was recorded on April 12, 1934 in Washington Mountain state of New Hampshire, USA. However, in a tornado that occurred in Oklahoma in May 1995 ago, the fastest wind speed is detected researchers reached 513 km / hour, and as a comparison, the wind on the planet Neptune's fastest to reach 1448 km / hour.

How colorful fireworks which were formed?

Fireworks are played at the feast of varied patterns and colors, it is the color that is created from minerals in the earth. Strontium can produce garnet, copper produces blue, sodium produces the color yellow, iron filings and charcoal produces golden yellow sparks, flashes of bright light and loud sounds coming from aluminum powder.

What is the total gold produced in the world?

In total gold produced in the world more of 193 thousand tons (metric tons), if all this gold dumped into one, can accumulate a four-square arrangement of buildings as high as 7 floors. Africa and the United States are the two gold-producing country, South Africa produces 5300 tonnes of gold / year, and the United States produces more than 3200 tons / year.

Where is the coldest place on earth and the heat?

You are mistaken if you think that the valley of death in California, USA, is the hottest place in the world, in one year during a relatively long time there is very hot, however, recorded the warmest place was in an area in Libya, on 13 September 1922, temperatures there reached 57.8 degrees Celsius, this is the highest value in the temperature record since then. On July 10, 1913, the highest temperature in death valley California, USA, reach 54 degrees Celsius. Areas with the lowest temperature in the world is in central east Antarctica, on July 21, 1983 the temperature reached 89 degrees below zero Celsius.

How does thunder happen?
If you think caused by lightning, it is also true, however, the proper assumption is that the air temperature around the lightning rose dramatically, approximately 5 times that the temperature of the sun. The sudden heating causes the air velocity to expand more rapidly than the velocity of sound, this will compress the air in the vicinity and form a shock wave, so we could hear the thunder.
