The Good Earth: Insights from Geology on the Design of Our Planet for Life

[@TheGatoroberto]

Awesome presentation . Reminds me of Isaiah 40, 12: “ Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a measure* (* from Hebrew- shaliysh - literal meaning: a third part -1/3 )

Reminds me of the song by Paul Wilbur "LORD of all I bow down at your feet...my soul longs to behold who you are." Absolutey awesome finding.

I am so happy that our founding fathers decided to rebel so that we would never have to "bow down at your feet" of any feudal lord, real or imaginary, ever again.

Thank you, Casey, for this awesome presentation, which is improving our knowledge by using scientific logic and research. This confirms what our hearts and minds were feeling about the unusual property of the planet earth which makes it possible for life to exist on this planet. Thanks for the hard work and dedication to give great presentations. From the author of the social brain, an operator ‘s manual.

Earth was intelligently designed around 6000 years ago by the God of the Christian Bible, Jesus Christ.

Kurt Wise on the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics global flood model is the best I’ve ever heard flood theory explained. 👌

[@akhiltabraham6717]

We can calculate the age of our first human parents (i.e Adam & Eve) from Bible. Its around 6000 years ago. However, Bible doesn't speak about the age of Earth. One more thing: The God of the Bible is not Jesus Christ, but the father of Jesus- Yahweh

[@stephenking4170]

It was designed by God the Father. It was created through the Logos, the eternal Word, who became Christ. And the creative work was done by the Holy Spirit. These roles are consistent within the trinitarian relationship of God, from creation, through revelation, salvation and redemption. All things are FROM the Father, THROUGH the WORD and BY the Holy Spirit. As for the age of the earth there are pillars of Christian faith who believe the earth was created aeons ago and those that believe it was just a few thousand years ago. We need to read God's textbook on nature before determining such things. The bible is the authority on spiritual relationship between God and man. It does not attempt to interfere in man's current understanding of science at any stage. It's just not relevant. Searching the facts of nature is a privilege given by God that we can do by investigating nature and reading God's first revelation, nature. Given that there are different views held by different leaders within Christianity it pays to be humble and not dogmatic about presumptive "facts" such as the age of the earth, which the bible does not specifically state, nor does it need to.

[@oskarsitarz569]

True. Milions of Years are a joke. If in Bible it would be written that earth is milions of years than scientists would start to prove that its thousands of years old...

The only thing wrong with your comment is 6000 years. The rest you got it right.

You say that the Earth is unique. You are looking at one star only. How do you know that there is no other Earth like planet in the trillions of other stars in the Universe? You are too intelligent not to understand that point. The Earth is unique in our solar system, but then you have a history of selectively stating 'facts' to misrepresent the truth, don't you.

[@vladimirtokarev1284]

It may not be unique but it looks like it's very rare, given all the conditions around Earth that made life possible. I suggest reading The Privileged Planet that Casey references in the presentation for a fuller picture of just how special is our place in the solar system and the galaxy to harbor life and allow for discovery.

[@EstudioVoitheia]

We have data for many, many solar systems. Our sun is very special for example. Besides, that is not THE main point! Earth is NOT only special for life. One could argued that life is so hard to emmerge that only in Earth it could appear. But Earth is NOT only special planet for Life, it is a very good planet for a Civilization!!!

[@marynunn1708]

Darwinists made the same speculation about the fossil record, ie that a larger sample size will point toward purely natural explanation for life on earth. Until it didn’t. Today the fossil record disproves Darwin’s speculation and supports an intelligent creator. Take all the galactic survey samples you want. In the end, if you’re honest, you’ll have to admit our earth was created by the God of the Bible.

[@mahones981]

You see, if our brains were the result of mindless processes then you and I are no more than molecular machines... Therefore 1. we don't have free will, 2. we don't reason but just react 3. and therefore we shouldn't trust any of our thoughts As Francis Crick said ''You,' your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will,are in fact, no more than the behaviour of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.' Athiest, you have a problem! Athiesm cannot explain our ability to reason. Therefore I would have no reason to believe any of your thoughts, even your thought that athiesm is true!

[@mahones981]

Also worth considering that since nature came into existence, the cause of nature cannot be nature. Quite simple logic really. Just as you will never find a square circle, you will never find a natural cause for nature.
