QUOTE: “'The emerging picture from the ancient-rock record is that life was everywhere,” Vickie Bennett from Australian National University, tells The Atlantic. “As far back as the rock record extends—that is, as far back as we can look for direct evidence of early life, we are finding it. Earth has been a biotic, life-sustaining planet since close to its beginning.[/b]'” (David's bold)

DAVID's comment: My bold certainly supports the idea that God saw to it that the Earth could nourish life from near its very beginning.

dhw: Your bold does no such thing! It merely supports the idea that Earth has been a biotic, life-sustaining planet since close to its beginning!

When you add up all the unusual characteristics of the Earth, compared to other planets, wse are very special. It is easy to see God's work.
