There was a slower rotation of the earth
The earth is slowing down as we speak. A billion years ago, the earth was spinning twice as fast as now. Because of our oceans and the moon, the speed of rotation is slowing down.
By the way, how do you know that life couldn't exist if the rotation was slower?
Faster rotation of the earth
How do you know that life couldn't exist if the rotation was faster?
The earth was 2-5% farther from the sun
Not necessarily. If you go to the arctic regions, you will find life there. If you dig deep down into the ice of the arctic regions, you're going to find live bacteria. They belong to the Archaea domain.
Earth 2-5% closer to the sun
There are bacteria that live in extremely hot conditions (boiling hot). Again, they belong to the archaea domain.
A smaller earth
How will a smaller earth be a threat to life?
A larger earth
How will a larger earth be a threat to life?
A smaller moon
How will a smaller moon be a threat to life?
A larger earth
???
More than one moon
What the fugue are you talking about?
The earths crust thinner
I suppose we would be getting a lot more earthquakes... if that is what you mean.
The earths crust thicker
Well... I suppose some of the life in the deep blue sea would not be able to survive because of the lack of hyperthermal vents...
Oxygen/nitrogen ratio greater;Oxygen/nitrogen ratio less
I don't think so. If the ratio was greater or lesser, life would probably adapt or evolve to survive in such condition.
More or less ozone
Do you even know what the ozone is made of?
You can call it a coincidence if you like, but if thats not at least some evidence of a designer, then i dont know what is.
If earth is the only existing planet in the universe, then yes it would seem that there has to be something going on more than coincidence. You are forgetting that the universe is HUGE. There are probably 10 X 10^99999999999999 planets, considering the number of stars that we can see and the planets around other stars that we have discovered.
So, why is it such a problem for earth to exist as it is by coincidence?

Good job, Lam, at completely making up this number.
Hello!?! I think that was the point, unless it wasn't obvious enough for you.

For goodness's sake, please vote Democrat this November!
Why? Bush is a right wing nutcase.
