"Joe" wrote in message ups.com... Did all of the dynamics that need to be in place to make winds just appear one day on it's own with design or fore thought, or did it require some creation? An intelligent design? And since we know the dynamics of wind are produced by the variations of temp on the earth we have to assume the earth and the universe are included in the basics formulations to answering the questions. Albert Einstein acknowledges that the mind behind the universe is a "superintelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection." and yet people like Rob do not accept a higher intelligent or creator of all including the wind. He thinks he is superior to all, he thinks he created life. Joe The best answer can be attributed to the real Cyrano de Bergerac http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=003...2%3C249%3ALPPE... People would ask why doesn't x happen or why doesn't y happen, all used to confirm the existence of a grand creator. His reply was simply, "How could it be anything else?". Most of the wind is caused by relative motion due to the earth's rotation. Why does the jetstream flow against the earth's rotation? With sunrise heating and the like it should flow in the other direction. Think about it. Why do ocean currents flow against the earth's rotation at the equator (where the tangential velocity of rotation is the greatest) but not at the latitude extremes? Go ask an earth "scientist". They'll tell you it all comes from pressure, temperature, hairspray, SUV's etc. Ask a physicist, they'll tell you it all comes from the earth's rotation. Why do hurricanes rotate in a particular direction? If the earth turned in the other direction would hurricanes reverse rotation? The major cause of sea level changes is the moon, the second major cause is the sun. Earth scientists will tell you it is "global warming" - ie driving SUV's!- Hide quoted text - Not only that but! "The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter.3 Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life. The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day. And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from spilling over across the continents. Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it. Plants, animals and human beings consist mostly of water (about two-thirds of the human body is water). You'll see why the characteristics of water are uniquely suited to life: It has an unusually high boiling point and freezing point. Water allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperature changes, while keeping our bodies a steady 98.6 degrees. Water is a universal solvent. This property of water means that thousands of chemicals, minerals and nutrients can be carried throughout our bodies and into the smallest blood vessels. Water is also chemically neutral. Without affecting the makeup of the substances it carries, water enables food, medicines and minerals to be absorbed and used by the body. Water has a unique surface tension. Water in plants can therefore flow upward against gravity, bringing life-giving water and nutrients to the top of even the tallest trees. Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the winter. Ninety-seven percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans. But on our Earth, there is a system designed which removes salt from the water and then distributes that water throughout the globe. Evaporation takes the ocean waters, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind to disperse water over the land, for vegetation, animals and people. It is a system of purification and supply that sustains life on this planet, a system of recycled and reused water." Joe |
