And if anyone ever succeeded in deflecting the moon from its orbit, all life would cease. It acts like a maid to clean up the oceans and shores. Without the tides created by the moon our harbours and shores would become one big stench pool of rubbish and it would be impossible to live anywhere near them. Because of the tides continuous waves break upon the shores of the ocean, aerating the waters of the planet and providing oxygen for plankton, the very foundation of our food chain. Without plankton there would be no oxygen and all life would end. God is a creative genius isn\u2019t He? He made the moon the right size and placed it the right distance from the earth to create the exact atmosphere we need. We live within a great ocean of air- 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. These elements are continuously mixed by the tidal effect of the moon on the atmosphere. This has the same effect it has upon the seas and always provides the same proportion of oxygen. Though we keep dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere it\u2019s absorbed into the ocean and we are able to continue to live. If the atmosphere wasn\u2019t as thick as it is we\u2019d be crushed by billions of pieces of cosmic debris and meteorites that fall continuously on our planet. Who takes good care of you &#8211; God and aren\u2019t you glad He is on the job twenty four seven?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Instead of all this happening by chance, as I said last week surely it takes less faith to believe that our world was created for us by a loving and caring intelligent designer- God<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus is welcomed as He enters Jerusalem &#8211; Risen!
