In the beginning, God created all the living and non-living materials needed for any chemical reaction to occur. He made the Sun to give energy, water as the natural solvent, space, land and the spheres as the reaction environment.
The air is a mixture of gases, He constituted them in such a way that Redox balance is maintained:
Nitrogen……………78.09%
Oxygen………………20.95%
Carbon IV oxide....0.04%
Argon …………………0.93%
Water vapour……..0.4-1%
Is it not awesome that Oxygen which supports combustion and Carbon IV oxide which does not are present together at the same time but in such volume that there is a Redox balance? Nitrogen gas, a very stable and relatively nonrective gas takes the chunk of the air volume to safeguard the air around us from spontaneous auto reactions that could have flamed up the atmosphere due to the presence of oxygen.
Any tip in the balance of the natural composition of air could result in very hazardous consequences; hence our Almighty God provided a dynamic equilibrium of cycles that use up excesses and at the same time produce extra to fill in for volume used up due to plants, animals and human activities. We breathe in oxygen but we don’t blow because there is nothing in us that would ignite the oxygen and our body is a closed reaction system. We exhale Carbon IV oxide and the green plants give thanks in anticipation of their food making process (Photosynthesis). These processes are divinely put together as the Carbon cycle, Oxygen cycle, Nitrogen cycle and water cycle. There is no excess and no waste all are present in the exact amount needed. Oh! What a Precise God of balanced equations.
In living organisms, He instituted a peculiar element (Carbon) with a renowned ability of bonding with itself and with other elements (Catenation) to form strings of chains in molecules known as Organic compounds the most abundant set of compounds on earth. Who could have done all these, if not the Supreme and Sovereign being.
