When I was a boy and people still knew how write humor, I saw a movie in which a college woman was going around the house asking why is there air, apparently something she picked up in college.

Her younger brother had the right idea. He said everyone knows what air is for, filling footballs and basketballs.

Okay, maybe he didn’t have it quite right but he was maybe a little more practical. Obviously, the Lord provided air for us, the animals and plants. Filling balls and incidentally tires seems a side benefit.

The characteristics of air is really very critical. Now, I am wondering just how that came about by accident, like the big bang theory would suggest.

When God created the earth He knew what He was doing. He made it before plants and animals, and man. Moreover, He made it with just the right mix of gases and the atmosphere had just the right thickness, just enough to provide the right air pressure for us.

We, as humans, survive on planet earth primarily because there is air. It also works out well that we can use it for planes too. Isn’t that nice. I guess that does sort of explain why there’s air.
