Episode #47 Pre-Biological Fitness - The Water Cycle Science & You
-
- 自然科学
Water makes our planet habitable and life possible. It does so through many unique properties, one of which is the ability to both absorb and dispense heat energy. The water cycle is one key way that heat is moved from warm climates to cooler ones, helping to maintain world-wide temperatures within the range suitable for life. Water is the perfect substance to absorb, store, circulate, and dispense heat on a worldwide basis. These physical properties are what Wiker and Witt call "pre-biological" properties. That is, these abilities were present before life, yet are perfectly suited to support life on Earth. Since by definition, natural selection occurs only in living animals, and water is part of the non-living world, it cannot be natural selection that is responsible for the properties of water. Rather, it means that the Creator had us in mind from the very beginning. Creation Matters Vol. 20 No 4, p.3, July-August 2015. References: Wiker B and J Witt, 2006.
