When thinking\nof earth\u2019s design, much has been said of earth\u2019s location in the solar system, the\nsize and temperature of the sun, and the size and distance of the moon. Earth\u2019s\nsize and gravitation, atmospheric makeup and magnetic field have also been used\nas examples of God\u2019s design.  But, the\nplacement and size of the continents also show the forethought and ingenuity of\nGod as He reformed earth to be man\u2019s post-flood habitation. Continental\nplacement is the result of design not random natural movements of earth\u2019s\ncrust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice on the\nmap how the separation between South America and Antarctica and between Asia\nand North America allows for the global circulation of water. Cold water is not\ntrapped in the Arctic Circle. Yet, because there is no separation between North\nand South America, the warm equatorial ocean current is forced to redirect\ntowards the Polar Regions.  The majority\nof the equatorial current is redirected north by the Brazilian wedge shaped\ncoast. It continues to be warmed as it flows along Central America and through\nthe Gulf of Mexico.  The warm water is\nthen carried all the way to England and circulated around the Arctic Ocean. The\nearth\u2019s rotation empowers the equatorial currents which then circulate all the\nocean waters enabling the regulation of earth\u2019s temperatures, dispersing of\nnutrients, and the cleansing of the shorelines. It would appear that the shape\nand position of each land mass is perfectly placed in order to enhance the\ncirculation of earth\u2019s water.   The\nHeavens declare the glory of God and so does the earth\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Flood God told Noah that there would be seasons for planting and harvest that summer and winter would not cease.  Earth\u2019s seasons are caused by the 23 degree axial tilt.  If earth\u2019s axis was not tilted, the entire world would have 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night every 24 hours making some nice fall like temperatures year round.  But with the tilt, each polar region experiences 6 months of complete darkness making a cold, harsh winter followed by 6 months of midnight sun.   However, due to earth\u2019s elliptical orbit, the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s winter is even colder because the earth is farther away from the sun.  But, there is more, the earth\u2019s distance from the sun affects its orbital speed, meaning the earth travels slower when farther away from the sun.  So the winter is not only colder, it is also 5 days longer.  No wonder only penguins live on Antarctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, water acts as an insulator holding summer\u2019s heat, and 80% of the Southern Hemisphere is ocean leaving only 20% land, most of which is the frozen continent of Antarctica. So yes it has frigid winters, but at least God gave it a watery blanket.   Meanwhile 68% of earth\u2019s land mass, home to 90% of earth\u2019s population, is in the Northern Hemisphere where earth is closer to the sun during winter and farther from the sun during summer so the seasonal extremes are not as drastic and summers are longer.  God truly designed the earth to be man\u2019s habitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
