New evidence for design comes from measurements of greenhouse gases in the early earth’s atmosphere. Since the sun gets brighter as it gets older, the quantity of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere must be higher in the past to compensate, higher at such precise levels as to indicate supernatural design. For the first time two geologists directly determined Earth’s past carbon dioxide abundances by measuring carbon isotope ratios in fossil microbes. Their measurements confirm the anticipated high level of design.
