Evidence For God In The Location of Earth Within the Universe and The Milky Way Galaxy

I am thankful for God’s placing our earth exactly at the best place in the universe, galaxy, and solar system for intelligent life such as humanity to survive, thrive, and to be able to see and understand the universe. For instance, if our earth and solar system were closer to the middle of the Milky Way galaxy (or any galaxy), lethal radiation from the black hole at the center of the galaxy, collisions with supernova remnants and gigantic stars—and the molecular clouds that would result, and the disturbance of the orbits of any planets in the vicinity that would result from the massive gravity of all of these phenomenon would make any advanced life impossible.
After neary 50 years of SETI research and the more recent Project Phoenix that has researched every star within 200 light years of earth that either has solar-like qualities or that includes known planets, none of them—not one—is able to support advanced life. Rather, contrary to the predictions of Carl Sagan, Enrico Fermi, and many other scientists, what has been discovered is more and more factors that seemingly make our planet’s position in our solar system, galaxy, super cluster, and universe completely unique in their ability to allow and provide for the existence of advanced life. . .
