I wonder at the world's perfect balance, that enabled life to be formed and to survive. The Sun had to be a perfect distance from the Earth. The moon and planets all have a role in enabling life to exist as we know it. Did you know that without a planet like Jupiter, life might not exist, because Jupiter wouldn't be there to shield the Earth from dangerous debris? Just a little tilt in the Earth provides for different seasons and temperatures around this globe. It's just too complex for me to understand it all. Fortunately you do. You can positively say that the huge amounts of untreated human waste that is dumped into our oceans and streams, EACH DAY, is not going to effect life on earth. And.... the tons of pollutants that are going up into our atmosphere and into the air we breath, is not going to effect life on earth. And..... the continuing destruction of our rain forrests, which by the way, produces the oxygen that we breath, will not effect life on earth. And..... the continuing destruction of animal and plant species is not going to effect life on earth. Thanks for letting me know how well we are leaving this planet for our children.
