Cool but useless fact about the Solar System

Physicist Stephen Barr (now director of the Bartol Research Institute) mentions this in his book Modern Physics And Ancient Faith.

There are no mere coincidence. Any scientist will wonder just how the configuration of gravity, forces and fields in this little solar system accounts for this ... and is it related (not causally of course) even tangentially to the fact that this third rock is the one place in our solar system where chemistry became biochemistry.

And does it provide further grounds for demoting Pluto. ;)

Actually - Pluto and Charon would fit with room to spare. (And I still say Pluto is a Planet. Just as I like calling the long necked dinosaurs Brontosaurus.)
 
Hehe. Of course Pluto can fit. The distance is an average. Still, this coincidence is interesting.

I agree. No amount of PoMo terminological revisionism can change a Brontosaurus from being a Brontosaurus. Even my five year old nephew knows that. ;)
 
We can agree on that.

The philosophical school to which I subscribe regards Intelligent Design theory and arguments (a la Demski, Behe, et al) as confused and antithetical to classical Aristotelico-Thomist metaphysics.
 
if the metaphysics is right there is no need for Intelligent Design
the Divine permeates invisibly
