Goldilocks ~ by ReverendRV * May 1
Genesis 1:10 KJV; And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
During the six days of Creation, God ended each day by declaring what he had made was ‘Good’; all facets of Creation were flawless. Something similar to this declaration of Goodness can be seen in the Tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We are all familiar with that story; Goldilocks enters the home of the Bears and finds a selection of items, but only one of each item is ‘just right’. When God calls his Creation Good, he is saying that it was ‘just right’. Theology presents us with several arguments for the existence of God, and one of them is called the Teleological Argument; Earth is ‘just right’ for Life. So far, Scientists have never found an Earth Analog…
The Earth is just right for life to exist; I’ll use three which correspond with Goldilock’s Tale; and at the end I will use a fourth example. ~ Earth exists in an area of space which is commonly known as the Habitable Zone. Venus and Mars are also in this Zone but one is too hot for Life and the other is too cold for life; but the Earth is just right. If the Sun were a Red Dwarf, it would be too small; but our Sun is just right. If the molten Core of Earth were too hard like the more solid core of Mars, then the Suns radiation would kill life on Earth; our molten core is ‘just right’ for life to exist here. ~ If another world like Earth exists with ‘just right’ conditions for Life, it would still take a ‘special’ event for Life to exist there; the Cambrian Explosion. Scientists tell us by comparison to the billions of years of time the Earth has existed, the proliferation of Life ‘exploded’ onto the scene; breaching a difficult Great Filter! According to Professor Watson from East Anglia University, ‘a limit to Evolution is the Habitability of Earth, and other Earth-like planets; a Habitability which will end as the Sun brightens’. He suggests that an upper limit for the probability of each step of the Evolutionary process occurring is 10 percent or less, so the chances of intelligent life emerging is low, less than 0.01 percent over four billion years.” Life existing on other perfect worlds depend on a Cambrian Explosion also occurring there…
The existence of Life on Earth is often described as being maintained by a vast wall of instruments with knobs, switches and buttons which are perfectly dialed in for Life. If a dial is turned one notch, then Life would cease to exist. The Book of Revelation in the Bible describes a time when God will burn the world with Fire. This is because of Man’s Sins, such as Lying, Stealing, and Worshiping other Gods. Adam Sinned and the world has never been a Garden of Eden since. But God so loved his ‘Good’ world that he gave his only begotten Son to be the Representative of Believers. Because he is both Man and God; Jesus is ‘just right’ to be our Advocate on Judgment Day. He never Sinned, and earned his Righteousness like no one else can. Because of this, he pleased God for us; and died for us when the Wrath of God was poured out on him. By his Blood Atonement, Death and Hell are satisfied! We’re Saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ, without Working for our Forgiveness. Repent of your Sin, Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord God; Read the Bible and start going to Church. ~ When you put your Faith in Jesus as your risen Lord and Savior, then you are ‘just right’; you are Just and Right before God…
Revelation 21:4 KJV; And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
