The Bible teaches that the earth has been specially prepared to be inhabited. Discoveries in the modern age have shown the spectacular truth of this. The earth has every single one of the many features required for life.
There are many features associated with the earth which make it ideally suited for life. 15 of the most important features are summarised below:
i. Right rate of spin
The earth has the right rate of spin for producing day and night. It is easy to take the 24-hour day for granted but it is an important property that is ideally suited to life on earth. If the days were much longer, they would get too hot and the nights would get too cold. If the days were much shorter, then there would be violent weather conditions due to the increased speed of the earth. Another ideal aspect of the 24-hour day is that it is just right for sleep and rest for creatures.
