Then I would at least understand your exact point.
I don't agree though.
But I think such processes are hard to imagine for us because they happen on such a big scale and in such a large timeframe.
But lets say god created Earth. Where did he get the water from, or the earth and rocks and how did they get here. He just snapped his fingers?
And that would make perfect sense to you as opposed to a natural process based on the laws of physics?
The cloud is so big that scientists estimate it holds 140 trillion times the mass of water in the Earth's oceans, and is approximately 10 billion light years away.
Look I'm sorry I insulted you but I found your attitude towards people responding with criticism equally as insulting.

So I was pondering this a bit today. And it suddenly occured to me.
If the earth had to cool down from it's own natural formation. Then
there was no water present after it finished cooling.
So where did all of that water come from? Was it in the area and we got some of it (pretty much the story with all of the water i've ever encountered) or is the original acquistion of water a special case wherein an invisible man made it out of nowhere and used it to drown his children who he loves very much?

Well you're right that I am trying to find a source for a world wide flood.

No.
When hydrogen burns it creates water.
Simple science.
if this is rude to randy I apologize, but the guy won't even entertain legitimate questions and topics of discussion from users in his own thread! I mean, come on! Is that not the point of ATS; opinions, postulates, debates, discussions? Can't just one-side an OP, breh.

Science postulates that when the earth was magically forming, billions upon
quadzillions of years ago(sarcasm).
The planet was very hot and then slowly
began to cool.
Scientists point to a lack of evidence and water available on
earth, in regards to the hundreds of ancient accounts, from diverse cultures
around the world, of an ancient deluge. A world wide flood, that wiped a previous
world, from the face of the planet and left few survivors. This is the Biblical account.
science scoffs at and says is just a myth. I often wonder why and can only
believe, it's because scientists have this big unwarranted, problem with the
Bible.
At this time - about 7,500 years ago - the global climate was still rapidly warming following the last Ice Age, causing the seas to rise. Ryan and Pitman hypothesize that, when sea levels rose beyond a critical point, the Mediterranean Sea overflowed, deluging the Black Sea basin with salty water and destroying the fertile plains around the once-shallow freshwater lake.
So as you may have guessed, I have big problem with that. And believe me, I
would still have a problem with it, despite my personal beliefs. I absolutely
know in my gut, science is wrong, to even think of these accounts, especially
the account in Genesis, as myths. I believe a ton of history is discounted in
our time as myth. And I'm not shy in my convictions.
So I was pondering this a bit today. And it suddenly occured to me.
If the earth had to cool down from it's own natural formation. Then
there was no water present after it finished cooling. No water, no life.
and there you have my question. Where did all the water we see today
come from? I do know what the scientific answer is. And forgive me, I
find it no more believable then anything, in the Bible. And that's just
from a very down to earth view. Pun intended.
And even if science did ever find out where all the wet stuff came from.
How would they not be finding the source, of a world wide flood at the
same time?

What if I just say then, that I don't believe comet strikes and cooling
gases are enough to account for all the wet stuff?
Would you be with
me to that point? Would you then be able to see where the link I provided
ties in? What if water in space such as that which is in the link. Why couyldn't
it possibly be the source, for the initial water that was on the earth. And then later
the flood as well?edit on 28-1-2014 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
Which automatically informs us that you are not here to learn or seek the truth. Because people seeking the truth, learn about the other side instead of ritualistically staying to their own subject. No one can take you seriously when you start off with magically and and quadzillions. Especially when you are trying to push creationism. The answer is 4.5 billion years, btw.
And since were on the biblical flood as an alternative to science, do you believe that at some point in the last few thousand years that the global population was reduced to just Noah's family on Mount Ararat?
