It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in.

The critical first billion years, during which life began, are blank pages in the earth's history.

There is no explanation in the Big Bang theory for the seemingly fortuitous fact that the density of matter has just the right value for the evolution of a benign, life supporting universe.

Sometime in the first billion years, life appeared on the earth's surface. Slowly, the fossil record indicates, living organisms climbed the ladder from simple to more advanced forms.

The record of the rocks contains very little, other than bacteria and one-celled plants until, about a billion years ago, after some three billion years of invisible progress, a major breakthrough occurred. The first many-celled creatures appeared on earth.

The fossil record contains no trace of these preliminary stages in the development of many-celled organisms.

It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in.
