Two Canadian astronomers discovered additional evidence that our solar system is designed for advanced life. They performed a long-term study of the stability of asteroids and comets in a planetary system dominated by an inner gas giant of the mass of Jupiter and an outer gas giant of the mass of Saturn. They found that exquisite fine-tuning of the two gas giants’ orbital parameters are necessary to avoid chaos (hence, catastrophic terrestrial collisions) in the distribution and orbital elements of the asteroids and comets. The just-right orbital parameters of Jupiter and Saturn for the benefit of life on Earth are indicative of supernatural foresight, planning, and design.
