The Apostle Paul in the book of Colossians and the writer of the book of Hebrews tell us that Jesus holds all things together. How tightly? Just tight enough for life to exist and thrive in the universe as we know it. Science can explain the physics of our universe, but what they cannot explain is the existing delicate balance of forces within the elements that make life possible as we know it. The delicate balance of the universe exists because Jesus created it this way so that life as we know it could exist.

Evolutionists are adrift today on how to explain how all this could have happened. In fact the best explanation that they have is that we live in a very fortunate window of the evolution of the universe where the cosmic separation of star bodies and star clusters and the shells of star clusters are just right, space is sufficiently large, the solar system has evolved to an intricate point with refinement to the degree of 10⁵⁵ in precision^106/348 so that currently in this very fortunate window man can evolve and survive.

Physicists Rees and Carr in Nature magazine^107/610, wrote an article titled, "The Anthropic Principle and the Structure of the Physical World." In this article they explain that they calculated the mass of the cosmos, from the atom to the entire universe, and they found that the size of planet earth is a geometric mean and average of the size of the entire universe. They also found that the mass of the human body is a geometric mean of the mass of the proton and the planet itself. This means that it is not the cats and the canaries, as delightful as they are; it is not the reeds and the palms and the ferns, as delightful as they are, but the entire universe and planet earth and man have an infra structure of design. Also the reeds, the birds and the insects all figure into this design but for the benefit of man. They further found that these geometric proportions further relate to the electro magnetic and gravitational constants. They are not simply physical particles themselves exclusively.

On day two God created the firmament above the earth. We no longer have this firmament and are the worse off because of it. Dale Peterson , M.D., wrote a scholastic research paper called "Longevity and the Biblical Record."⁹⁶ We have learned that as the ultraviolet radiation penetrates through the atmosphere down to the surface of the earth it excites the oxygen molecules, free radicalizes the oxygen molecules so that we ingest those so that we are being contaminated. Concerning this Dr. Peterson writes:

"Excess free radicals attach themselves to cell membranes, LDL cholesterol and even DNA. They penetrate right inside the cell membrane. Damage done to the human body is enormous. The list of conditions felt to be caused by or aggravated by free radicals includes: arteriosclerosis, alshimers, cancer, high blood pressure, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, down syndrome, strokes, cataracts, arthritis, emphysema, dandruff, wrinkles, memory loss, mental sluggishness. . ."⁷⁶

Over sixty disease states are believed by a number of researchers to be caused by or aggravated by these free radicals. Prior to the flood, because of the firmament around the earth, these free radicals would not be generated because ultraviolet radiation would be trapped along with other short wave radiation in the firmament and thus energizing the geomagnetic field. Under these circumstances man would not receive any harmful radiation or free radicals to his detriment.

1. A solar day.

2. Daylight.

3. Indefinite period of time.

On Day number three of creation, Elohim said: ". . . let the dry land¹¹⁰ appear; and it was so." The dry land involved the entire infrastructure, it involves the core of the earth, the surface structure and it involves particularly the granite structure.^{357/199, 111/68}

According to the evolutionary model this granite which is world wide, which today averages eight to sixteen miles in thickness depending on whether it has been crumbled into mountain formations or is underlying the basic strata of the earth, took three-hundred-million years to crystalize. But according to the Biblical record on day number three, God said let the dry land appear and it appeared instantly.

Sir Fredric Hoyle stated, "Observing the universe, I have to believe it is an intellectual structure. I am looking at not mere chance, it is designed, it is orchestrated."^57/141-144 Frank Tipler, interviewed in Omni Magazine, stated, "If you do a consistent physical analysis, God just falls out. He is there in an intrinsic essential way, not just put in there to cover our ignorance."^58/109 This is a man who was an atheist who wrote in various journals about his atheism. But now he has done an about face in light of the evidence. George Ellis, co-author with Stephen Hawking of the large scale structure of space-time, one of the world’s great physicists and astrophysicists stated, "The construction of nature points to a purposeful designer."⁵⁹

Now, not only is the external structure a design, but the internal structure was designed with moderating elements that are radio active. Water is heated up by radio activity. Forty feet of water will stop even very powerful radiation in the gamma range level. Inside the earth there are moderating elements that give off a gentle heat. The purpose of radioactive material is to generate heat.^357/345 Before the flood of Noah’s day the firmamental canopy was in place from day two all the way to the first day of the flood. It filtered out short wave radiation. It filtered out some of the infrared radiation which means that we would only have a gentle temperature build up during the light of day.

Plants, botanists tell us, do so much better if you generate pink light for them.¹¹² This triggers the growth of reproductive cells in plants.^113/88 In addition to this, plants do better if the roots are heated two to three degrees above the ambient temperature (temperature of the surrounding atmosphere). In Creation, everything was designed for the optimal genetic function of all living systems, the earth as well as the entire universe.

So we have a structure built inside the earth which will gently radiate nuclear reaction which will gently heat up the waters which will gently warm the roots of the plants. How large did those plants get? Before the flood there was a firmamental canopy around the earth. This canopy kept the atmosphere in place. We know that the diameter of the earth was ninety-percent of what it is now. Given these conditions and a greater gravitational pull plus compression of the firmament, altogether that would compress the atmosphere to 28 pounds per square inch.¹¹⁴ Today it is 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level. Also geologists have found in the structure of the limestones a greater amount of CO₂. Up to eight times our current amount.^115/32 We currently have 0.026% CO₂.^116/273-279 Previous to the flood there was 0.25% CO₂ in the atmosphere.

Therefore, given the conditions of greater atmospheric pressure, filtering out of the ultraviolet radiation, generation of pink light and gentle heating of the plant life at its roots, what will these conditions produce? In the fossil record everything is big.^117/47-68 The plants that were created on day three were created completely functional. The plants were created with immediate youth and functional maturity. This means they were created instantly as a plant with vines and fruit bearing seed ready to be harvested, devoured and reproduced.
