You’re not the hero the religious forum needs. You are the hero the religious forum deserves.
That’s what “earths magma contains water in volumes that are variable“ means..
So, the Bible is not particularly specific: it simply says water came from beneath the earth.
Did such a flood happen? No: science can rule that one out.
Is it possible for it to happen? No: this water is not free water; and is locked up in magma hundreds of miles beneath the surface - not as water, but as OH Hydroxyl molecules bound to magma.
Is it feasible: the idea that billions of square kilometres of magma will simply move to the surface - not without kinda leaving a note.
So at best; this new scientific revelation is that there now maybe being enough water - possibly - to maybe cover the earth (again - it’s not clear whether it’s confirmed sufficient), in the form of inaccessible Hydroxyl Bound to magma
Given the thousand other ways that the flood has been comprehensively ruled out - amount of water is low hanging fruit.
There are hundreds thousands of scientific studies that demonstrate old earth. Demonstrate evolution, demonstrate that life has a common ancestor, demonstrate the lack of any population bottlenecks, demonstrate the local nature of various flood around the world, and explicitly rule out a cataclysmic global flood as described in Genesis
You pointed to individual cases of data that seem to confirm your position...
...while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that contradicts that position.
...that demonstrate old earth.
...Demonstrate evolution,
...demonstrate that life has a common ancestor,
...demonstrate the lack of any population bottlenecks,
...demonstrate the local nature of various flood around the world, and explicitly rule out a cataclysmic global flood as described in Genesis.
Your argument bullseyes the text book definition of cherry picking.
You’re not the hero the religious forum needs. You are the hero the religious forum deserves.
No sir it doesn't. Magma is molten rock genius.
True. And at first atheists were like "Har, har!! Until science caught up and found there IS more than enough water inside the Earth.
Science once "ruled out" enough water on Earth to cover every peak.
Is it possible for it to happen? No: this water is not free water; and is locked up in magma hundreds of miles beneath the surface - not as water, but as OH Hydroxyl molecules bound to magma.
You've back paddled. You use to say there was simply not enough water on Earth. But sorry, science has found that under certain conditions, this water can be brought to the surface.
Is it feasible: the idea that billions of square kilometres of magma will simply move to the surface - not without kinda leaving a note.
It's not, magma man of science. It's water.
Lol. Funny how new scientific revelations always confirm the Bible's narrative.
And it's not magma. Magma is rock that has become so hot due to pressure that it is molten, it comes out of volcanoes.
Non sequitur. None of this support your charge that I'm cherry picking.
Cherry picking, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position.
Erm - yes? That’s why “It just moves between the mantle and the surface” is what “earths magma contains water in volumes that are variable” means. Did you lose track of what you were arguing?
No it didn’t. You are confusing “known water reserves are insufficient to cover the earth”, and “we absolutely know without reasonable doubt how much water was in the earth. Not the same.
That’s like the 4927th reason id invoke against a global flood
The conditions the water can be brought to the surface is when pockets of magma interact with the world;
Pretty sure that Cataclysmic volcanic activity overturning billions of square kilometres of magma to release its water; would not be described as water spurting from the ground, but a burning hellfire that vaporized every ocean on the planet
Except, of course, when it doesn’t...
Science has hundreds of thousands of studies that comprehensively disprove what the Bible says.
It has a handful of examples that can be argued to be consistent with what the Bible says.
Using the ones that Agree with you, and ignoring all the ones that do not - is cherry picking.
Please block quote this whole thing and reply to it in one go
“Any water in Rock would be squeezed out under the tremendous pressure needed to make it hot enough to melt, and any water would immediately vaporize out as soon as the pressure dropped long before the magma reached the surface.”
I don't really need to be arguing this non-sense Mr E.But it's entertaining.So if the polar ice caps melted, the level of all available water on planet Earth would on rise by approx 60m above current sea levels.That would be approx 8800m short of what would be needed to cover the entire Earth.There just ain't enough water Mr E.
Magical fountains are the stuff of myths legends and wild imagination
But if it makes you feel good Mr E.....That's good enough for me.
But it's entertaining
You are cherry picking the science that agrees with the bible; ignoring all the other science that does not; and then claiming science validates the bible. Cherry picking
We can rule out a global flood 5-6 thousand years ago by various means
If water in rock is squeezed out under pressure as it melts - then where the hell did all this water you claim was on the surface go?
Water below the crust is not in water form, it’s in dissolved form. It can’t be “squeezed out” unless there is a high pressure gradient.
Just as a FYI, a water droplet trapped under 2km of Non porous rock is not going to turn to steam....
- one study
So it’s kinda odd that this is the hill you want to die on
It is a much older event.
No Sir. I said science validates one claim of the Bible, that there is enough water on Earth for Noah's flood. You are trying to insert an argument for me...
The Bible needs no validation.
It's more than one study. Your ignorance doesn't make the others not exist.
In this case, we do not currently know the mechanics of Noah's flood, but we are getting clues.- There IS enough water on Earth- the rainfall was augmented by water from below the surfacethese are consistent with our current running theories.
The Earths geology varies greatly relative to time.
It's no good advocating the "science" that agrees with your biblical commitments, but then denying the science that doesn't agree.
That just makes you appear to be "cherry picking".Which is what you are doing. Mr E.
Yes - so science agrees with the Bible - except of course for all the cases where it doesn’t
And yet you are here....
I wasn’t able to find more than the single study after a brief search...
So the first is theoretical - the second is rank speculation.
Like I said - to get the water out from where it is,..
The Bible makes all sorts of claims we can invalidate -
...but there are some where it’s able to by right by accident. Like this one
Yet you are here sounding like you found the bible version of the higgs boson.
Are those cases secret? Cause you've offered none.
We who? You mean the "experts" you have faith in?
“It all agrees with The Bible”
“It disagrees with the Bible? It must be these phoney experts.“
We know there wasn’t a global floodWe know animals weren’t specially createdWe know that animals cannot all be traced back to small founder groups.We know that the earth came into existenceafter the sun and the stars.We know sea creatures existed before treesSo on the one hand; the Bible makes some Huge and incontrovertible errors that are clearly utterly false.
The Bible didn’t predict that the mantle contained vast quantities of water - it didn’t even predict a mantle.
Our exchanges are usually tit for tat goading,...
...interspersed with comment relative to the thread.
We're as good or as bad as each other in that respect.
Nonetheless, in said thread....And relative to your uncertainty regarding when such a biblical flood might have occurred.
I made pertinent references to how the geological time line and that of human evolution were unlikely to coincide at a point whereby the Earth might be entirely covered with water.....That is to say, before the formation of the continents and certainly before the development of homo-sapiens and the development of most of the creatures we see today.
You are clearly cherry picking unrelatable bits of scientific evidence, in order to overcome the improbability of an indeterminate biblical flood.
Now...... A certain amount of responsive goading is expected
It's easy to "win" arguments when you insert your own lies for your opponent's arguments isn't it? I prefer challenges.
Sigh. The liberal once again conflates his posting an opinion for factual evidence. Some of the things you claim above are not even biblical. You don't know the Bible well enough to oppose it
