Re 159: I think the opposite is true. I've done the calculation - there is enough H and O on Earth to make 26,000 ft. of water, but to get it would leave some mighty strange minerals that would have to go back to "normal" after the water dried up (like Si+4 and assorted things). The energy required to strip enough H and O from minerals to make 26,000 ft of water is incredible. I'd say an Ice Age was more likely, not boiling seas. But maybe that's what killed the dinosaurs. The poor babies just froze to death. And besides that could explain how some wooden thing almost the size of the Titanic could float and be seaworthy, it was stuck on ice. Don't you find it strange no one reported millions of dead bodies (human and otherwise) after the flood? So many questions, so few answers - and it will always remain thus.

LOL. Your post is a real keeper. It is rare--even from creationists--to see so much nonsense in two paragraphs. You win some sort of a prize.

Your problem is not with some "mighty strange minerals" that have {poof} qualities. Mentioning silicon in the 4+ valence state is cute--and a diversion, since earth life is based on carbon. Your problem, I think, is that you haven't a clue about what you are posting.

It is odd to remind a creatioinist about thermodynamics! Whatever "calculation" you might have done, you might want to get informed about the "latent heat of vaporization".

"Don't you find it strange no one reported millions of dead bodies (human and otherwise) after the flood?" The Bible is peculiar in terms of what it 'reports'. No writer was a witness to these supposed events.

Don't you find it strange that unborn babies were killed in this 'flood'? Don't you find it strange and a question of morality that newborns, toddlers, and zillions of innocent children were drowned and zillions of innocent souls were extinguished in this supposed flood?

The Noah's flood myth is not only bad science, but bad morality.

You may want to go back and re-read that post, and see if that piercing sensation you feel is F4P's hook embedding itself in your jaw ;)

Oh, Thomas, Thomas, you doubt too much. Send my prize through the Conspiracy That Cares and make sure it's legal tender in the ol' USA :)

1. Check out the Earth's elemental composition (the elements Fe, O, Si, Mg, Ni and S account for 95% of the Earth's composition) - you'll find out that C is not high on the list.

2. Check out the energy it would take to strip off O from Si, Fe, Mg and C to make 26,000 ft of water. The ionization enthalpies for C and Si respectively are about 14500 and 10000 kJ/mol for all 4. Heat of vaporization - phooey, I tell ya, Phooey!

Oh, Thomas, Thomas, you doubt too much. There is enough H and O in the elemental composition of the Earth to make 26,000 ft of water, but to do it would mean making one Hell of a monster chemical bomb.

(Oh, all right /sarcasm)

Please do not ping me to posts I am not involved in. I made a statement and I've come to a clear understanding with those on this thread that have been amicable. While we may disagree on certain issues, we do it in a friendly manner and understand each other's POV. You however have not been amicable and this post in particular is ridiculing something I strongly believe. I cannot explain every event in the Bible to fit into what you think should be the correct view nor will I try.

I am not trying, nor will I, to fit every one of my beliefs into the world's view of ice age, dinosaurs, etc. I am not a 'young-earth' creationist. You believe what you choose, I'll believe what I choose. Leave it at that

Fresh off the 24 live thread, conspiracy theories abound. . .

Take a deep breath, and step away from the keyboard.

Ah...

The ol' "God is bad for killing 'innocent' babies" tangent.
