"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.

But there may be life on Mars?

May be.


The earth may be perfect. But none of the other planets are, nor any of the
millions of observable heavenly bodies. One out of a million is not a good
batting average. Or do people strike out on purpose?

We have seen of the heavens and space about what a child see's of
the ocean and it's contents while standing on the beach.

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.

Proper and perfect! The speed and distance from the sun vary more than
fractionally. The earth's rotation is slowing because of the moon and sun.
Eventually the one side of the earth will always face the sun, just like the
moon does to the earth. Proper and perfect!



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.

Except when God commands it. Says so in the Bible.

Al Gore said it too.



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:

Commies don't drink water Mandrake.



It has an unusually high boiling point and freezing point.

Yes, just like wax.

No not like wax

Water
allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperature
changes, while keeping our bodies a steady 98.6 degrees.

Why use a heater when there's water?

To provide heat transfer



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 dissolves brain cells.

Brain cells are mostly water.



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.

If it is chemically neutral, how can it be a solvent? Especially when it
causes atoms to split into ions.

The atoms are less noble that the atoms of water




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.

How does it stack up to the surface tension of mercury?

I would imagine the surface tension of mercury is many times greater.



Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the
winter.

If I turn a half frozen tray of icecubes in the freezer upside down, will
the ice melt?

No... once the temp of all the water in the tray reaches freezing it
stays in a solid form.

Maybe it has something to do with ice floating on water? Naaa.



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."

Ripper: Mandrake?
Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have.
Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good
reason.
Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at,
Jack.
Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the
source of all life. Seven-tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, do
you realize that seventy percent of you is water?
Mandrake: Uh, uh, Good Lord!
Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish
our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only
distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol?
Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation
of water?
Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.
Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?
Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no.
Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived
and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?


Please...I'll watch the movie again if I need a refresher course.


Water = causes steel to rust!

Indeed but someone designed a magial soultion that can keep water away
from steel. You can surround the steel with this stuff and the water
can not get to it.
