Earth: The Biography
I’m watching “Earth: The Biography” on the National Geographic Channel. It’s a fascinating program explaining the earth’s fragile existence, and the events and situations that sustain life here. For instance did you know:
The Moon helps regulate temperature on earth. Without it, the earth’s temperatures would swing so greatly, that it would make it uninhabitable.
Greenhouse gases from volcanoes (CO2) also help regulate temperature on earth helping keep temperatures above zero.
Jupiter acts as a protector. It’s huge magnetic field pulls in many asteroids that may otherwise hit earth.
Minerals in the sands of Africa are stirred up by dust storms and travel across the Atlantic Ocean and are deposited in the South American rain forests.
The National Geographic Channel tows the evolution party line, but when did believing in a chain of events described by the laws of probability as mathematically impossible, become infinitely MORE possible than maybe, just maybe… intelligent design.
The more I learn about science, the more I am in complete awe of God.
I’ll Buy That For A Dollar
Returning from lunch this week, some co-workers and I came across some firemen raising money at an intersection. Call me heartless, but I’m not a big fan of randomly donating money to things I don’t have a knowledge of, an interest in, or a heart for. However, a co-worker of mine passed me a dollar to give the fireman, so I gave it to him as he walked by and he must have noticed my license plate.
Fireman – War Eagle!
Sg. – War Eagle!
Co-worker – Hey! Roll Tide! I want my dollar back!
Fireman – Oh yea? What happened the last six years???
Co-worker – …..
For that, I gave the fireman a dollar.
