THE HIGH-TECH FEATURES OF THE SUN AND THE PLANETS

SERIES: WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE.

TEXT: HEBREWS 19:1-3

As God says in Isaiah 55:8-9, “for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

By looking at the creation around us anyone has evidence that there is a mighty creator; for God’s invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made so they are without excuse-Romans 1:20. God has revealed Himself through nature. King David mused, “when I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor”-Psalm 8:3-5. Some of the great works of the father:-

THE SUN-Genesis 1:14-15.

Our sun is immense, gaseous and its energy enormous. Nuclear reactions take place in the sun that produce immense energy. The core of the sun is at 15,000,000 0C.
Plant and animal life would stop if the sun stopped radiating light, all life would perish!
The sun gives out more energy in one second than man has ever produced from the time of Adam.
The sun is about 150 million kilometers away accurately positioned by God. If the sun were to move closer to the earth by 1% of the distance, the oceans, lakes etc would vaporize and there would be no water on earth! Conversely if the sun were to move 2% further, the earth would be colder and all water would freeze and become ice!

THE EARTH-Genesis 1:1.

God created the earth. It did not come out of an explosion (big band theory).
As God was creating the earth the angels were singing-Job 38:7.
About 70% of the earth surface is water and man has up to now, only explored 5% of the sea and oceans, 95% of seabed and oceans, and its creatures are still unknown to man up to this day!
God put in place the law of gravity that holds masses together.
The earth revolves round the sun with an average radius of 149,000,000 km. One circuit of the earth round the sun takes 365 days, one year. The earth is moving at a speed of 29.6 km per second.
As the earth moves round the sun through space, it moves in great precision that scientists can calculate and predict its position very accurately.
As the earth moves round the sun it is also rotating once every 24 hours.
As the earth moves very fast through space the moon is also moving and rotating round it.
The core of the earth is very hot, about 6,000 0C.
Volcanoes erupt from deep the earth on dry land and also in the sea.
The atmosphere is an envelope of air round the sun, serving as a protective buffer between the earth’s surface and the out space.
It shields the surface of the earth from ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
The ozone layer sits in the stratosphere between 15 km and 30 km above the earth and shield us from the earth’s ultraviolet radiation. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (C02) and other air pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. These heat-trapping radiation of radiation that would otherwise have escaped into place is called greenhouse effect.
Gaseous exchange; God has created an equilibrium between plants and animals gaseous exchange: plants give out oxygen to animals and animals breathe out carbon dioxide that is needed by the plants for photosynthesis.
Water of Pacific and Atlantic oceans don’t mix where the two oceans meet!
