And he shook off the beast into the fire.... Acts 28:5
"All the unique elements of fitness in nature for fire and the
development of technology would be of no avail without rocky planets of the right size, like the Earth.
If a planet is to possess the necessary stable hydrosphere and atmosphere fit for life it must be of approximately the size and mass and possess a gravitational field very close to that of the Earth.
----Its gravity must be strong enough to retain permanently the heavier gaseous elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, but weak enough to permit the initial loss of the lighter volatile elements such as hydrogen and helium.
----Only on planets of similar mass and size to the Earth’s could there exist an atmosphere containing sufficient quantities of oxygen to sustain fire.
*Earth’s size and mass are coincidentally fit both for the design of a bipedal animal of the dimensions of a man capable of exploiting fire and for providing the right atmosphere to support combustion and respiration."
