58:2.2 The [[earth]]'s [[atmosphere]] is all but [[opaque]] to much of the [[solar]] [[radiation]] at the extreme [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet ultraviolet] end of the [[spectrum]]. Most of these short [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_length wave lengths] are absorbed by a layer of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone ozone] which exists throughout a [[level]] about ten miles above the [[surface]] of the [[earth]], and which extends spaceward for another ten miles. The ozone permeating this region, at conditions prevailing on the [[earth]]'s [[surface]], would make a layer only one tenth of an inch thick; nevertheless, this [[relatively]] small and [[apparently]] insignificant amount of ozone protects [[Urantia]] [[inhabitants]] from the excess of these [[dangerous]] and destructive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet ultraviolet] [[radiation]]s present in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight sunlight].

58:2.3 And yet some of the less [[imaginative]] of your [[mortal]]  [http://academicearth.org/lectures/mechanical-philosophy] mechanists] insist on viewing [[material]] [[creation]] and [[human]] [[evolution]] as an [[accident]]. The [[Urantia]] [[midwayers]] have assembled over fifty thousand [[facts]] of [[physics]] and [[chemistry]] which they deem to be incompatible with the [[laws]] of [[accidental]] [[chance]], and which they contend unmistakably [[demonstrate]] the [[presence]] of [[intelligent]] [[purpose]] in the [[material]] [[creation]]. And all of this takes no account of their catalogue of more than one hundred thousand findings outside the [[domain]] of [[physics]] and [[chemistry]] which they [[maintain]] [[prove]] the [[presence]] of [[mind]] in the [[planning]], [[creation]], and [[maintenance]] of the [[material]] [[cosmos]].
