FACTS AND FIGURES

Dr. A. Cressy Morrison, former president of the New York Academy of Sciences, argues that it is possible to demonstrate mathematically that the universe could not have just happened, but was designed with a purpose.

He points out that the earth rotates on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour. If it rotated at only 100 miles per hour, our days and nights would be ten times as long as they are now, and the earth would alternately burn and freeze. Under such circumstances, vegetation could not live.

“Again—the sun has a surface temperature of 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit and our earth is at the exact distance from it that it needs to be to get just enough heat and not too much.

“The earth is tilted at an angle of 23 degrees and this enables us to have four seasons; if it were not tilted at this angle, vapours from the ocean would move north and south, piling up continents of ice.

“If the moon were not at the exact distance it is from the earth, the ocean tides would flood the land mass completely twice a day.

“If the ocean were just a few feet deeper than it is, the carbon dioxide and oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere would be completely absorbed and no vegetable life could exist on earth.

“If the earth’s atmosphere were just a little thinner, many of the meteors which are now burned out in space would bombard us, setting great fires everywhere.

“Did this delicate balance just happen? Not a chance in ten million.”
