There’s a geat DVD - “The Priviledged Planet” - written to two Christian scientists.
They say that we’re in a perfect spot in the universe and if we were a few degrees in one direction we’d be frozen like Mars, and a few degrees in the other direction and we’d be a ball of fire like the Sun.
Plus, we’re perfectly situated to view the rest of the universe.
I never get tired of watching it. I too believe God watches over us - all the time.

“Gonzalez is an assistant research professor of astronomy and physics at Iowa State, Richards has a doctorate from Princeton Theological Seminary”
IOW, one is not a scientist, and the other isn’t listed on the faculty directory:

It wasn’t any more convincing when a couple of scientists tried it:

An Encyclopedia Galactica, but you must have 900 terabytes free on your hard drive.

The abridged children's version is used on me quite often. Keeps on topic, and posts from being pulled. Finger pulling would be best guess, where fingers to keyboard kind of pulling. Thanks for the ping SunkenCiv.
