This ideal liquid is unsurpassed in its functionality and its universality. Without this miracle substance our lives would soon cease to exist in a matter of days. Our bodies require this chemical compound for 1,001 processes. No wonder it has been called the “universal solvent.” Man, despite his genius in the chemical labs around the world, has still not been able to produce a substance as unique and beneficial as this naturally occurring one.
Water is a chemical composition of hydrogen and oxygen. It consists of two atoms of hydrogen to every one of oxygen. Water is an amazing substance that naturally exists in all three states of matter: gas, liquid and solid. Ice, snow, rain, hail and sleet are some of the many meteorological forms it can assume. Hydrogen and oxygen, two distinct and very different elements, somehow have learned to combine to form a colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid.
This unique combination capability, which characterizes all chemical compounds, is testimony of the highest order to that of a purposeful, intelligent master “Chemist” behind the scenes. Only a God of incredible power and knowledge could have orchestrated the millions of combinations of atoms needed to form the basic building-block substances of life.
As an example, take the deadly poison sodium and combine it with the deadly poison chlorine. The result is the naturally occurring substance NaCl, better known as salt. The next time you drink a cup of water, consider the source.
