Probably more important, life on earth has largely evolved within the protective ozone shield and is presently adapted rather precisely to the amount of solar ultraviolet which does get through.
It is this ozone then which absorbs almost all of the remaining ultraviolet wavelengths up to about 3,000 A, so that almost all of the dangerous solar radiation is cut off before it reaches the earth's surface.
Though less stable and far more rare than O2, and principally confined to upper levels of the stratosphere, both molecular oxygen and ozone play a vital role in shielding the earth from harmful components of solar radiation.

The evidences of design in the formation of the solar system--of that kind of design which acts in direct and specific exertions of a formative will--have been enormously multiplied by the discoveries of modern astronomy.
It supposes that there was a mass of fiery vapor, floating in the space now occupied by the solar system.
