This is not going to be a debate about creation or evolution, but I do want to share a quote from a well known pastor named Randy Croft:

Astrophysicists have found that there are over 60 criteria that are necessary for life on earth. For you and me to live. Life could not exist or form if any one of the following were true:

Earth’s rotation was slower or faster

We were 2% closer or further from the sun.

Earth had a 1% change in sunlight.

Earth was smaller or larger.

Taco Bell closed at 3 p.m.

The moon was smaller or larger.

We had more than one moon.

Earth’s crust was thinner or thicker.

Pizza Hut only served thin crust.

The Oxygen/Nitrogen ratio was greater or less.

Ozone layer was greater or less.
