Genesis 2 NIV

The Creation of Man and Woman

4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Looks like you don’t need heavy equipment when you have a billion manual laborers.

Does he think there will be a war for that salt water someday?

The ocean still has plenty

I thought NASA said the world was running out of water.

This briny solution will not turn the desert green without desalinization. That could occur by using the sand as a filter. As the water rises it is filtered until it can be taken up by plants. Various estimates have determined that substantially more water exists at depth than is in all the oceans.
Just like food production, water scarcity is political, not natural.

Well, there goes another old saying.

“For all the tea in China” will now be “For all the salt water in China”.

Did they find any rocks? Every time I dig, I find rocks. Big ones.

GOD already said there was water under the desserts. It’s in the BOOK. That’s the way it will be.

PSALM 24

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.

Scientists study carbon sinks to gain a greater understanding of climate change.

They could find the Kwisatz Haderach to make the water come up from the Earth. (did anyone else think of Dune?)

So, isn’t this one of the unforeseen reasons why the global warming forecasts have been woefully wrong? And why further alarmist propaganda is also wrong? If the planet is naturally absorbing “excess” carbon instead of dumping in the atmosphere, and that effect being totally missed by the forecasts, then this collapses the whole reason of the alarm!

If they can figure out a way to make that water potable cheaply, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region could suddenly become a GIGANTIC agricultural region. Right now, the oases in that part of the world are already some of the most productive farmland in China on a per hectare basis; making that water available for irrigation could turn much Xinjiang into the 21st Century version of California's Imperial Valley (the former Salton Sink).
