An orbit that remains unaltered for lo these many milliniums. What made Earth so lucky?
Ecclesiastes 1:4
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.

It's not perfect, it's an elliptical orbit.

Frankly, we're finding lots of planets around other systems.
I wonder how many of those planets have intelligent life and think the same thing while others are thrown into random orbits and wondering why God(s) have abandoned them?
It really isn't a great argument, Chi Guy. People make the same argument on a national scale until a disaster happens. Then everyone else yells, "See? God is on OUR side."
Plus, the orbit isn't perfect, and takes into areas of higher density matter that intersects a lot of material. We're just about in the right position for an extinction event.
No proof for it, but if they look at and measure the matter density surrounding Earth for the next couple of years it will get fairly obvious and provable, quick.

you're finding at it from the incorrect attitude. existence is genuinely adapted to Earth's modern place. If Earth's distance from the solar replaced into altered then existence might ought to adapt to the recent circumstances or die. There are inner and outer limits previous which any existence might conflict to stay to tell the story no count how steadily this way of exchange replaced into made. This zone is the 'liveable zone' or so-talked approximately as 'Goldilocks Zone' (via fact it particularly is neither too warm nor too chilly yet purely good)

I am always very upset by people who try to prove that God and Christianity are true simply by pointing out that no one knows how the earth and universe came into existence. Just because noone knows the answer, that is not proof that the God (as he is characterized in the Old and New Testament) created it and that heaven and hell and angels and daemons and souls exist and that Jesus was divine. That is a gigantic jump to conclusions.
It's like if you found a mysterious car parked in your garage and could not figure out where it came from or why it was there. So you just said, "Well, there's no other explanation. Zeus must have asked Vulcan to forge a car atop Mount Olympus and then sent a winged elephant to deliver it to some guy in China as a gift. But on his way, the elephant got struck by an air-train and dropped the car into my driveway, where it then turned on by itself and pulled into my garage. There's just no other explanation."

But of course the big bang has nothing to do with the earths orbit about the son does it. Since the big bang happened some seven billion years before even our own son existed. It was then another five billion years before the earth began it's orbit huh?

Given the billions of stars, the odds are that at least one has a planet at a distance capable of sustaining liquid water.
Your "perfection" is yet to explain the Cryogenian Period.
You also can't demonstrate that Earth's orbit is unchanged.
What you have is just a collection of unfounded assertions.

The orbit is changing.
The sun is expanding and will consume us eventually.
The moon is moving away from us very gradually.
The planet itself is constantly evolving - thus, earthquakes.
The planet is far from perfect for human habitation - ask the Indonesians.
No luck, just co-incidence.
Life evolved to the conditions. The conditions themselves evolved.
Instead of the bible, try some real science. Much more interesting and educational.

Do you NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT AN ORBIT IS?
Mathematically, and according to the laws of gravity, it is SIMPLE for an object to orbit another! (i.e. the Sun and the Earth.) In fact, orbits naturally become more stable.
Take Astronomy 101.

An orbit that if it were just a little off at any given time would not sustain life at all.
I'm also amazed how nonlife suddenly created life and not just any life but something so extremely complicated as a cell let alone an entire human being with all of its functions and complexity.

Out of the billions of planets in the known universe it is probable that several are in the right orbit
