I'm not sure what your point is, but, IMHO, the earth is just the correct circumference, just the right distance from the sun, it rotates at the right speed, the moon is just the right size to stabilize rotation, there were just the right amount of amino acids to spark life...you think this was an accident?

Not me.

So what's your point?

Oh let me guess... This is just another mockery of people who might believe in something other than the religion of evolution.

Gotcha.

Well, no, it's not an "accident"--in the sense that it's also not an "accident" that a puddle of water you may see in the road is the same shape as the pothole it's filling. But it's not a miracle either.

The word "evolution" does not occur in the material--although who would bet me dollars to doughnuts that the ditz who wrote the original piece doesn't believe in evolution either?

The moon was caused by an accident and the Earth's rotation has changed and continues to change.

Well, seeing as evolution is a fact and Creationism has been disproven for hundreds of years, originally by Christian scientists, those who think evolution is a religion deserve mockery.

the author of the post the op alluded to is an idiot. twenty feet makes the difference between buring up and freezing to death? considering that the orbital distance of the earth runs between 88 and 93 million miles from the sun i doubt ten feet will make any difference what so ever.
