23
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:31,240
hydrogen, helium and methane is poisonous to life.

24
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:38,460
The high levels of poisonous methane give its atmosphere a blue color.

25
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:47,620
This is a deadly world, wrapped by terrible storms moving at up to 2,000 km an hour.

26
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:58,840
Uranus, a dead planet, largely consisting of rock and ice.

27
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,840
It takes Uranus 84 Earth years to orbit the Sun.

28
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Its atmosphere of hydrogen, helium and methane is fatal to life.

29
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Saturn, this is the second biggest planet in our solar system.

30
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,760
It is particularly well known for the system of rings encircling it.

31
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,620
These rings are made up of gases, rock and ice.

32
00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:40,500
The planet itself is composed entirely of gas, 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.

33
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:53,180
Its density is less than that of water.

34
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:58,400
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system.

35
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,820
Although a gaseous planet, it is 318 times the size of Earth.

36
00:05:04,820 --> 00:05:10,460
This large red mark is a storm large enough to hold two of our Earths.

37
00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:14,300
There is no land on it.

38
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:21,780
An insane cold, terrible storms that last for hundreds of years.

39
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:33,200
A magnetic field that could kill any living thing, a dreadful and frightening planet.

40
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:40,180
And Jupiter's satellite, Io, covered in volcanoes.

41
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:45,600
It acts as an electrical generator as it moves through Jupiter's magnetic field, developing

42
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:57,360
400,000 volts across its diameter.

43
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Mars.

44
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,220
Its atmosphere is a poisonous mixture with high levels of carbon dioxide.

45
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:08,980
The surface is full of craters caused by striking meteors and deep valleys hundreds of kilometers

46
00:06:08,980 --> 00:06:18,900
long.

47
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:29,660
A ball of red rock ruled by violent winds and sandstorms that go on for months.

48
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:32,320
Venus.

49
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Unlike the freezing cold of the other planets, Venus is a giant oven of burning temperatures.

50
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:52,320
The temperature on its surface is enough to melt lead, around 450 degrees centigrade.

51
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:58,780
It has a heavy atmosphere made up of a thick layer of carbon dioxide.

52
00:06:58,780 --> 00:07:04,180
The atmospheric pressure on this planet is equivalent to that found on Earth at one kilometer

53
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:06,280
below the sea.

54
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:12,400
Its atmosphere is covered with layers of sulfuric acid kilometers high.

55
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:20,500
The planet is therefore constantly subjected to lethal acid rain.

56
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:28,700
Nothing can live in such an atmosphere.

57
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,860
Mercury.

58
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:35,420
The nearest planet to the Sun.

59
00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:40,940
It spins around its own axis very slowly.

60
00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:49,820
Since its days and nights are very long, one face glows red and the other freezes.

61
00:07:49,820 --> 00:08:07,840
Such an environment would be fatal to any living thing.

62
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,660
As this short journey has shown us, eight out of the nine planets in our solar system and

63
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:20,840
all their 53 moons are incapable of sustaining life.

64
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Each one is dead, a mass of silent rock and gas.

65
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:37,980
However, one planet in this system, one that we have not looked at yet, is very different from

66
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:40,280
the others.

67
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,900
Because all its features, from its atmosphere to the makeup of its surface, from the temperature

68
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:52,260
to its magnetic field and from its elements to its distance from the Sun, have been created

69
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:55,460
in the best manner for sustaining life.

70
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:56,460
The planet is our Earth.

71
00:08:56,460 --> 00:09:02,460
The planet is our Earth.

72
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:14,700
fried Mars, we don't think so.

73
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:19,020
P decisively.

74
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:40,200
Unlike its neighbors in the solar system, the Earth is a planet full of life.

75
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:57,580
There is a most harmonious balance of life in the sky, on the land and in the seas.

76
00:09:57,580 --> 00:10:03,220
Millions of animals, plants, insects and sea creatures, all with different structures,

77
00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:31,340
colors and features live together on this special planet.

78
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:36,540
This great equilibrium on Earth and all the living things on it are proofs of the existence

79
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:41,220
of God and the artistry of His creation.

80
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:50,180
God invites mankind to consider these things in one verse of the Koran.

81
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:53,540
It is God who created the heavens with no support.

82
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:55,340
You can see them.

83
00:10:55,340 --> 00:11:01,160
And cast firmly embedded mountains on the Earth so that it would not move under you, and scattered

84
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,180
about in it creatures of every kind.

85
00:11:05,180 --> 00:11:11,360
And we send down water from the sky and make every generous species grow in it.

86
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:23,760
This is God's creation.

87
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,540
The survival of life on Earth is as great a miracle as its creation.

88
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:49,760
That survival has been brought about by very special conditions ideally designed for life.

89
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Even the tiniest alterations in these conditions could lead to terrible disasters.

90
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,700
Yet in the absence of any intervention from outside, no such thing will happen.

91
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:09,160
The blue planet was miraculously created with an unimaginable number of special features

92
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,240
to maintain life on it.

93
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,380
Thanks to these features, and unlike its neighbors, it offers an extraordinarily beautiful place

94
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:25,000
in which to live.

95
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,660
During the minutes that follow, we shall be looking at some of these miraculous features

96
00:12:29,660 --> 00:12:37,620
of the blue planet and seeing how they totally invalidate the materialist thesis of chance.

97
00:12:37,620 --> 00:13:02,620
We shall witness the great wisdom and might with which God created our world.

98
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:29,620
We shall be looking at some of these miracles, and we shall be looking at some of these miracles.

99
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:37,080
The temperature and atmosphere are the first essential factors for life on Earth.

100
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,780
The blue planet has both a temperature that is inhabitable and an atmosphere that is breathable

101
00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:49,380
for living things.

102
00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:54,900
These two extremely different factors, however, have come into being as a result of conditions

103
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,000
that turn out to be ideal for both.

104
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:08,940
One of these is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

105
00:14:08,940 --> 00:14:14,940
Earth could not be a home for life if it were as near the Sun as Venus is, or as far from

106
00:14:14,940 --> 00:14:22,500
it as Jupiter.

107
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:28,460
When one considers the universe as a whole, coming across a range of temperatures as narrow

108
00:14:28,460 --> 00:14:34,440
as this is quite a difficult task.

109
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:40,260
As temperatures in the universe vary from the millions of degrees of the hottest stars to

110
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:49,620
absolute zero, which corresponds to a temperature of minus 273 degrees Celsius.

111
00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:57,340
In such a vast range of temperatures, the thermal interval that allows life to exist is slim indeed.

112
00:14:57,340 --> 00:15:02,160
But our planet Earth has it.

113
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,940
The American geologists Frank Press and Raymond Siver draw attention to the average temperatures

114
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:09,540
prevailing on Earth.

115
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:16,000
They note that life as we know it is possible over a very narrow temperature interval.

116
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,700
This interval is perhaps one or two percent of the range between a temperature of absolute

117
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:32,600
zero and the surface temperature of the Sun.

118
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,260
The maintenance of this thermal range is also related to the amount of heat that the Sun radiates

119
00:15:38,260 --> 00:15:45,020
as well as to the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

120
00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:51,520
According to calculations, a reduction of just 10% in the Sun's radiation energy would result

121
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,520
in the Earth's surface being covered by layers of ice many meters thick, and if that were

122
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:26,240
to increase by a little, all living things would be scorched and dived.

123
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,580
Not only must the average temperature be ideal, the available heat must also be distributed

124
00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:33,740
fairly equally over the whole planet.

125
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:43,120
A number of special precautions have been taken to ensure that this in fact happens.

126
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:49,840
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23 degrees 27 minutes in relation to the plane

127
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,360
of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

128
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,860
This inclination prevents overheating of the atmosphere in the regions between the poles

129
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:58,160
and the equator.

130
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,660
If this inclination did not exist, the temperature gradient between the poles and equator would

131
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:11,360
be much higher than it is, and the temperature zones would not be so temperate or so easy to live in.

132
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:27,700
The rotational speed of Earth on its axis also helps keep the thermal distribution in balance.

133
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:34,260
The Earth makes a complete rotation once every 24 hours with the result that alternating periods

134
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:37,740
of daylight and darkness are fairly short.

135
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:42,660
Because they are short, the thermal gradient between the light and dark sides of the planet

136
00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:53,340
is quite modest.

137
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:59,400
The importance of this can be seen in the extreme example of Mercury.

138
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,240
As the rotational speed of Mercury on its axis is so slow, a day lasts longer than a year,

139
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:14,460
and the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures is almost 1000 degrees centigrade.

140
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:19,840
This terrible temperature difference would allow nothing to live.

141
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,780
Geography also helps to distribute heat equally over the Earth.

142
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:31,900
There is a difference of about 100 degrees centigrade between the polar and equatorial regions of Earth.

143
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:38,340
If such a thermal gradient were to exist over a completely level area, the result would be winds

144
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:46,340
reaching speeds as high as 1000 kilometers an hour, sweeping away everything in their path.

145
00:18:46,340 --> 00:19:00,160
Instead, the Earth is full of geographical barriers that block the huge movements of air that such

146
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,460
a thermal gradient would otherwise cause.

147
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:21,200
These are chains of mountains.

148
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,580
At the same time, there are a number of auto-control systems that help keep the atmospheric temperature

149
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:29,200
in balance.

150
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:36,820
For example, when a region heats up, the rate at which its water vaporizes increases, causing

151
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:39,080
clouds to form.

152
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,520
These clouds reflect more light back into space and make rain fall.

153
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,960
This prevents both the air and the surface below from growing warmer.

154
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:26,080
The mass of the Earth is no less important for life than its distance from the Sun, its rotational

155
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,000
speed or geographical features.

156
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:38,700
Looking at the planets, we see a great range of masses.

157
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:44,400
Mercury, for instance, is only 8% of the mass of the Earth.

158
00:20:44,400 --> 00:21:00,540
While Jupiter is 318 times bigger.

159
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:05,860
Is the size of Earth as compared with other planets coincidental?

160
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:12,220
Or is it deliberate?

161
00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:17,720
When we examine the dimensions of the Earth, we can easily see that our planet was designed

162
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,320
to be exactly the size it is.

163
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:28,860
American geologists Frank Press and Raymond Siver comment on Earth's fitness.

164
00:21:28,860 --> 00:21:36,700
And Earth's size was just about right.

165
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:42,200
Not too small as to lose its atmosphere because its gravity was too small to prevent gases from

166
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:48,780
escaping into space and not so large that its gravity would hold on to too much atmosphere,

167
00:21:48,780 --> 00:22:05,920
including harmful gases.

168
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:13,080
In addition to its mass, the interior of Earth is also specially designed and consists of layers

169
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:19,620
with various features that go round down to its core.

170
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:29,160
These layers are in motion and form a special magnetic field.

171
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,400
It is this field that allows us to navigate by means of a compass or for migrating birds

172
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,040
to find their destinations.

173
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:45,420
What is more, this field that extends even beyond the atmosphere also forms a protective shield

174
00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:49,680
that defends the Earth from dangers that might come from space.

175
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,900
The majority of the lethal cosmic rays and meteors that travel round in space are unable to penetrate

176
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:59,040
this protective shield that surrounds the Earth.

177
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,620
The greater part of the plasma clouds formed by solar explosions are deflected by this magnetic

178
00:23:04,620 --> 00:23:06,620
field.

179
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:14,600
The remainder, a very small amount in any event, are diverted to the polar regions, which

180
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,700
are in any case ill-suited to life.

181
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:22,500
The particles striking the atmosphere in this region form a magnificent light display in

182
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:42,480
the sky.

183
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:49,360
If this protective shield did not exist, life would be destroyed by harmful radiation and

184
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:53,160
might not even have come into existence at all.

185
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Yet thanks to this magnetic field formed by the core of our planet, the Earth possesses

186
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:08,240
a magnificent defensive shield.

187
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:15,640
God has reminded people of this fact in the Koran.

188
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,780
We made the sky a preserved and protected roof, yet still they turn away from our signs.

189
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:22,740
God has revealed things to us.

190
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:24,940
By each other, we believe in every sense that we are turning to Bruno還是.

191
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:25,760
Without being the Dios.

Bank

203
00:24:37,660 --> 00:25:00,900
Earth's physical features, mass, structure, temperature and so on, are just right for

204
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:04,900
life.

205
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:10,520
Such features alone are not enough to allow life to exist on Earth, however.

206
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:29,900
Another vital factor is the composition of the atmosphere.

207
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:41,520
Science fiction films sometimes mislead people.

208
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:48,300
One example of this is the suitable atmospheric conditions that are frequently encountered

209
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:49,140
in these films.

210
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:55,760
Astronauts approaching a distant planet in their spacecraft look to see whether the atmosphere

211
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,760
is breathable or not before landing.

212
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:10,440
When the computer on their ship reports that the atmosphere is suitable, there is no need

213
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,380
for any further protective measures.

214
00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:21,260
These scenarios give people the impression that mankind could easily and randomly find

215
00:26:21,260 --> 00:26:25,120
suitable atmospheres.

216
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:30,740
If we could explore the real universe, we would discover that this is not true at all.

217
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:37,360
The possibility of another planet's having an atmosphere that we could breathe is minute.

218
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:55,740
That is because the atmosphere of the Earth is specially designed to support life in a number

219
00:26:55,740 --> 00:27:08,500
of crucial ways.

220
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:15,500
Even a short way beyond this atmosphere, it is impossible to survive without protective clothing.

221
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:36,500
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide.

222
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:53,500
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide.

223
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:58,300
Let's start with the most important gas, oxygen.

224
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:03,160
Oxygen is vitally important to life because it enters into most of the chemical reactions

225
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:11,320
that release the energy that the complex life forms like human beings require.

226
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,480
The interesting aspect of this is that the percentage of oxygen in the air we breathe

227
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:26,260
is very precisely determined.

228
00:28:26,260 --> 00:28:32,500
In his book, Nature's Destiny, How the Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe,

229
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:46,280
the famous Professor of Microbiology, Michael Denton writes,

230
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,560
Could your atmosphere contain more oxygen and still support life?

231
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,140
No.

232
00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:56,620
Oxygen is a very reactive element.

233
00:28:56,620 --> 00:29:02,420
Even the current percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere, 21%, is close to the upper

234
00:29:02,420 --> 00:29:06,940
limit of safety for life at ambient temperatures.

235
00:29:06,940 --> 00:29:15,100
The probability of a forest fire being ignited increases by as much as 70% for every 1% increase

236
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:23,420
in the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere.

237
00:29:23,420 --> 00:29:28,420
The fact that the proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere remains at this precise value is

238
00:29:28,420 --> 00:29:32,940
the result of a marvelous recycling system.

239
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:47,420
Animals constantly consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, which, for them, is not breathable.

240
00:29:47,420 --> 00:29:49,380
Plants do just the opposite.

241
00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:56,280
They take in carbon dioxide, which they need to live, and release oxygen instead.

242
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,260
So life goes on.

243
00:29:59,260 --> 00:30:08,700
Plants release millions of tons of oxygen into the atmosphere every day.

244
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:13,700
Without the cooperation and balance of these two different groups of living things, our planet

245
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:15,700
would be uninhabitable.

246
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:43,700
For example, if living things only took in carbon dioxide and released oxygen, the Earth's atmosphere

247
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:50,700
would support combustion much more easily than it does, and even a tiny spark could set off enormous fires.

248
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:20,700
Similarly, if both took in oxygen and released carbon dioxide, life would eventually die out

249
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:26,700
when all the oxygen had been used up.

250
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:42,700
However, the balance of life has been so perfectly set up that the oxygen in the atmosphere is always at the ideal point.

251
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:57,700
A balance so flawlessly designed and that remains so perfect at every moment shows once again the infinite knowledge and power of its creator.

252
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:05,700
That Lord of all the universe, the creator of the heavens and the Earth, is the Almighty God.

253
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:12,700
God calls on man to consider this truth in a verse from the Koran.

254
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:27,700
Do you not see that God has subjected you to everything in the heavens and Earth and has showered His blessings upon you, both outwardly and inwardly?

255
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:32,700
Be that in the heavens and inwardly?

256
00:32:32,700 --> 00:33:02,680
Thank you.

257
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:32,680
Thank you.

258
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,480
We do it so much that we might think of it as normal.

259
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,180
In fact, respiration is quite a complex process.

260
00:33:43,180 --> 00:33:58,920
Our bodily systems are so perfectly designed that we do not need to think about breathing.

261
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:09,400
When we inhale, oxygen floods into about 300 million tiny chambers in our lungs.

262
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:18,720
Capillaries surrounding these chambers absorb the oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

263
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:27,040
The whole thing takes less than half a second.

264
00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:32,520
Clean oxygen comes in and dirty carbon dioxide goes out.

265
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:50,140
The reason why there are 300 million of those little chambers in the lungs is to maximize

266
00:34:50,140 --> 00:34:52,960
the surface area that is exposed to the air.

267
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,140
There is another point here that we need to keep in mind.

268
00:34:58,060 --> 00:35:02,640
The chambers of the lungs and the capillaries surrounding them are designed this small and

269
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,560
perfectly in order to increase the rate at which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

270
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:14,560
But that perfect design depends on other factors.

271
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:25,780
The density, viscosity and pressure of air must all be right in order for the air to move

272
00:35:25,780 --> 00:35:28,240
properly in and out of our lungs.

273
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:43,960
An example will help us to understand this more clearly.

274
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:50,820
It is easy to draw water up with a syringe.

275
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:56,080
But it would be a lot more difficult if we tried to draw honey up instead.

276
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:08,580
That is because honey has a higher viscosity and is denser than water.

277
00:36:08,580 --> 00:36:14,520
If the density, viscosity and pressure of air were higher, breathing would be as difficult

278
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:21,120
as drawing honey into a needle.

279
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:30,560
Whereas we are able to breathe perfectly comfortably without even being aware we are doing it.

280
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:44,360
The factor that makes breathing so easy is the atmosphere's features and arithmetical values.

281
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:50,800
Molecular biologist Professor Michael Denton makes this comment.

282
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:57,600
It is clear that if either the viscosity or the density of air were much greater, the airway

283
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:03,420
resistance would be prohibitive and no conceivable redesign of the respiratory system would be

284
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:08,800
capable of delivering sufficient oxygen to a metabolically active air breathing organism.

285
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:15,740
By plotting all possible atmospheric pressures against all possible oxygen contents, it becomes

286
00:37:15,740 --> 00:37:21,460
clear that there is only one unique tiny area where all the various conditions for life

287
00:37:21,460 --> 00:37:23,460
are satisfied.

288
00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:29,160
It is surely of enormous significance that several essential conditions are satisfied in this

289
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:41,020
one tiny region in the space of all possible atmospheres.

290
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:46,120
The arithmetical values of the atmosphere are not only necessary for us to breathe, but

291
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:53,520
are also essential for our blue planet to stay blue.

292
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:59,120
If sea level atmospheric pressure were much lower than its present value, the rate of water

293
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,500
vaporization would be much higher.

294
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:08,820
Increased water in the atmosphere would have a greenhouse effect, trapping more heat and raising

295
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:18,740
the average temperature of the planet.

296
00:38:18,740 --> 00:38:24,280
On the other hand, if the pressure were much higher, the rate of water vaporization would

297
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:32,200
be less turning large parts of the planet into desert.

298
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:41,120
On the other hand, we know that a glorious space remains in place.

299
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,180
This is already 2 years here.
