Although many people recognize that forest fires are beneficial for life, few understand that the processes involved appear to be fine-tuned. The means by which black carbon (charcoal from forest and grass fires) is cycled throughout the biosphere is critical for maintaining an abundance of diverse advanced life forms. An interdisciplinary team has discovered that the means are much more complex than previously noted. This greater complexity implies that more terrestrial processes must be fine-tuned, thereby increasing the evidence for supernatural design.
