INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY – CREATIONISM VS. EVOLUTION AND THE WORLD'S THREE MOST IMPORTANT YET MOST DISBELIEVED EVENTS

Cause and Effect of Acid Rain and the Benefit of Forest Fires
Intelligent Design belief
explains the atmospheric cause and effects of acid rains and the benefit of
forest fires. It was lack of forest fires,
not acid rains that destroyed our northeastern lakes in granitic rock regions. A study of Intelligent Design Theory
tells us that there is a purpose for acid rain and a purpose for lightning and forest fires. The
chemistry of Intelligent Design Theory is that whenever lightning strikes, it
produces nitric acid from nitrogen that is in our atmosphere. Rainwater combines
with carbon dioxide in our atmosphere to form carbonic acid and rain combines
with sulfur dioxide from forest fires to form sulfuric acid. Acid rain has
been with us since the earth was created. Its purpose is to preserve life on
planet earth. Carbon, nitrogen and sulfur are essential for all terrestrial and
aquatic life.
All rain is acidic, having a
pH usually less than 5.6, and has been acidic since the earth was created. Have you
ever noticed how lush your grass is after a good rain? I traveled through the
Black Forest in Germany, which is alleged by environmentalists to be dying
because of acid rain. All I saw was lush, green trees as a result of carbonic
acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
If God had dumped enough
soluble minerals on the earth to fertilize all plant growth over thousands of
years, the earth would have been uninhabitable. So He made rocks and acid rain.
Acid rain slowly dissolves the micronutrients in the rocks in the exact
amounts that are needed, not in vast amounts that would destroy all plants and
animals. Copper, as an example, is a necessary micronutrient for all life. But
a few milligrams per liter of copper will kill a plant.
Intelligent Design planning of
chemistry provides minerals for plants on our earth and plants in our waters to
grow. Intelligently designed arrangements put just enough limited supply of carbon dioxide on the
earth to feed the plants. If we quit burning fossil fuels and keep Smokey the
Bear busy at the same time, we will soon have a lack of vegetation and crops to
sustain life. Forest fires produce beneficial acid rain. Which is better, a
fraction of a degree rise in temperature, which may be part of
Jupiter's orbital cycle, or worldwide famine?
Lightning produces forest fires. Before Smokey the Bear, lightning would cause forest fires that burned millions of acres. And New York was not flooded with ocean water. Intelligent Design made just enough lightning to recycle the sulfur, carbon and nitrogen that is trapped by vegetation. The burned trees produced potash that neutralized the acid rain after the rain had dissolved just the right amount of minerals from the rocks. Intelligent Design Theory shows that all life was in a balanced process. Today, forest fires are limited to a few thousand acres, and the process of intelligent design is destroyed. If we want to limit the damage of forest fires, we must scatter potash throughout our forests in the exact amount to neutralize the pH of acid rain before it drains into the lakes. Lumber companies need to be able to cut trees by creating wide paths between forests and residential areas or towns, industry, etc. so that forest fires cannot damage more than trees and so that animals can escape.
Any electrical engineer would know that critical areas where forest fires are not wanted can be prevented from forest fires caused by lightning by placing lightning rods on the tops of hills and mountains higher than the tops of the trees. This will discharge the electricity. Also, 20-30 feet wide gravel borders could be placed on each side of the roads and highways so fires could not spread across roads. I tried to tell Arnold Schwarzenegger to use lightning rods and road borders, but got a form letter back, indicating that he did not read my E-mail.
