One of the recent discoveries in the world of science that became a byword among scientists is what is called the anthropic principle.
This principle reveals that every detail contained in the universe has been designed with perfect precision to make human life possible. A small example of the anthropic principle can be found in the facts relating to the existence of the earth.
In this case, an American astronomer Hugh Ross in his book entitled 'The Fingerprint of God, Recent Scientific Discoveries Reveal the Unmistakable Identitiy of The Creator' has made a list of his own as follows.
1. The distance of the earth to the sun
Distance of the 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, the Sun's diameter is approximately 112 time. Tensile sun is roughly 30 times the force of gravity. Sunlight take time 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
If further:
Planet Earth would be too cold for a stable water cycle.
If closer:
Planet Earth will be too hot for a stable water cycle
2. The gravity at the earth's surface
Surface gravity of an astronomical objects (planets, stars, etc.) is the acceleration of gravity force on the object surface. Surface gravity depends on the mass and radius of the object. Often the surface gravity is expressed as a ratio with the applicable provisions of the earth.
If stronger:
Earth's atmosphere would retain too much toxic gases (ammonia and methane)
If weaker:
Earth's atmosphere will be too thin because much loss of air
3. The period of rotation of the earth
Earth's rotation refers to the movement of the planet rotates on its axis and motion in its orbit around the sun.
If longer:4. Albedo
The difference in temperature during the day and night too big
If faster:
Atmospheric wind speed is too high
Albedo is a quantity that describes the ratio between the sunlight that arrives at the Earth's surface and is reflected back into space by a change in wavelength (outgoing longwave radiation).
Wavelength difference between coming and reflected can be attributed to how much solar energy is absorbed by the earth's surface.
If greater:
Runaway ice age would occur
If smaller:
Runaway greenhouse effect will occur
5. Activities earthquake
An earthquake is a vibration or shock that occurs on the surface of the earth. Normal earthquakes caused by the 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 that occurs because the movement was already too large to be held down.
If greater:
Too many living beings perish
If smaller:
Seabed foodstuffs will not be recycled to the mainland through tectonic uplift
6. The thickness of the crust
The crust is the outermost layer of the earth is divided into two categories, namely the oceanic 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 main constituent of the ocean crust is basaltic rock, rock while the main constituent of the continental crust is granite, which is not as dense basalt rock. The crust and the mantle portion of the lithosphere form layers with a total thickness of approximately 80 km.
If thicker:
Too many berpidah oxygen from the atmosphere to the Earth's crust
If thinner:
Volcanic and tectonic activity would be too great
7. The magnetic field of the earth
Earth's magnetosphere is a region in space whose shape is determined by the extent of the internal magnetic field of the earth, the solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field.
In the magnetosphere, a mixture of ions and free electrons either from the solar wind and the ionosphere of the earth is limited by the magnetic force and electricity stronger than gravity and collisions.
If stronger:8. Gravitational interactions with the moon
Electromagnetic storms would be too damaging
If weaker:
The lack of protection from harmful radiation coming from outer space
Months were drawn in by the force of gravity does not fall to the earth caused by the centrifugal force arising from the orbit of the moon around the earth.
The magnitude of the centrifugal force moon is slightly larger than the gravitational attractive force between the earth and the moon. This causes the moon farther away from the Earth at about 3,8cm / year.
If greater:
Tidal effects on the oceans, the atmosphere and rotational period would be damaging
If smaller:
Orbital obliquity changes would cause climatic instabilities
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 bit of 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 and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
75% of the atmosphere is in 11 km from the planet's surface. The atmosphere does not have a direct limit tapat borders, but rather thins gradually by increasing the height, there is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space.
If greater:
Runaway greenhouse effect will occur
If smaller:
The greenhouse effect is not adequate
10. Levels of ozone in the atmosphere
Ozone consists of three oxygen molecules and highly dangerous 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 of income and displacement in the atmosphere is the absorption of ultraviolet light (UV) from the sun.
If greater:
Earth's surface temperature is too low
If smaller:
Earth's surface temperature is too high, too much ultraviolet radiation
The above list is just a few examples of the many abundant data about the existence of the anthropic principle.
However, even this bit is enough to destroy the myth that is believed materialist scientists, namely that the existence of the earth and found her life happened by chance 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 a level of complexity that is unimaginable and with a perfect fit for the continuation of life in it.
