Could this be the water of the great flood that “SOMEBODY” soaked up with a big sponge and put under the feet of mankind? Now wouldn’t that be interesting.

The H2O in ringwoodite is "locked up" in the same way that hardened concrete contains water, and it would be about as difficult to release it.

If you believe that God is truly "all mighty," why not simply posit that He "materialized" the water ex nihilo?

Regards,

They thought oil in shale rock was “locked up” unti it wasn’t.

An Almighty God would have no difficulty putting water where He wanted it and retrieving it when He needed it. The Book He wrote describes the source of the water. Whats to wonder about or discuss? The fact that the Bible talks of the “great deep” is telling In that most people who live and have ever lived think the source was forty days and forty nights of rain.

Water in concrete is released by heat. Good thing there is no heat deep in the earth.

Why would we need to posit that, apart from the original creation. Must God one act miraculously, versus using natural means He created?

If you do no believe that God is truly "all mighty," why not simply posit that energy created itself, and thus water, or that, like as a God, energy was eternally per-existent, creating an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for life with intricate astounding complexity, since such universe logically testifies to design, and requiring a First Cause, (at the least), that of a powerful force or being of supreme intelligence, being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter?

I think I found the problem:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

To the contrary,
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

That's my belief.

In the end, we will see who's right - and who's wrong.

Until then...

"Regards,"
