The Littlest Things

Did you ever think that something as "petty" or "unimportant" as termites might matter when it comes to sustaining your ancestors' lives and your own life here on earth?  Well, according to the research done by scientist Hugh Ross from Reasons-To-Believe.Org the quantity of termites was one of hundreds of details that needed to be monitored and precisely determined in order to make a place in space for us here on earth.  If there were any fewer of the little buggers, not enough methane would be released into our atmosphere and earth would be too cold for us to survive here.  And if there were more of these tiny critters we also would not be alive today because the planet temperature would be too hot for us to live.

The termite is not the only tiny creature that functions to balance our temperature on earth.  There are invisible bacteria both in swamps, lakes and oceans also that need to be at a certain precise population to adjust the global warming and cooling which some of us humans think is only impacted by our car pollution and other technological influences.  (If we work on finding a way to raise more low cholesterol, red meat of the ostrich who takes up lots less land than cattle, we could also cut down on the huge methane released into the atmosphere by the slaughter of cows to produce meat.  See "Hidden Treasures In The Book of Job", by Hugh Ross- in Chapter 10.)
