And atheists mock people of faith.
/\

Atheist:

Thinking a God created everything is crazy.

Believer in God:

Thinking first there was nothing,
then nothing exploded
and became everything

is crazier.

Atheist: it wasn’t nothing it was a singularity !

Believer in God : where did the singularity come from ?

Atheist:,,,. um,.,
you’re just crazy.

Beleiver in God: /-)

Read the headline, and thought: “Hmmm... Read the Bible, did they?”

Possibly even to the point of covering the entire earth.

Maybe they did until plate tectonics happened...

well, of course it does, superficially at least. But, the way I look at the world, The Almighty doesn’t lie or deceive, and why should HE, because nobody would believe a liar, so if something is x years old, that’s when HE made it. If the oceans were forming 4.4 billion years ago, as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t conflict in my mind with being Biblical ‘day 3’

The oceans were obviously formed first and land then appeared. But the real kicker is what happened at the beginning of the great flood.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Some cataclysmic shaking ruptured the earth’s crust producing a global torrent of water.

-- Where did the "vast number of asteroids" come from? --

Somebody ran the galactic vacuum cleaner in reverse.

“NASA never analyzed the moon dust for composition and thought about this decades ago?

Part of me calls BS, but I’ll settle for hard science: I want to SEE water from dust.”

Go to the New York metropolitan natural science museum they have an exhibit of exactly what you want to see. They have multiple cubes of rocks all identical in size being 10cm x10cm x10cm right next to them is sealed glass containers with the water from an equal amount of rock to those cubes that was extracted from each sample and it explains how hydrated minerals hold and release water. Fascinating exhibit I went looking for the image I took of it but it’s been years probably on my old laptop. I should point out that those rocks were moon samples from the Apollo program on display.

The researchers argue that if the sun's solar wind - a periodic ejection of charged hydrogen and helium ions - came into contact with asteroids, or even asteroid dust, the wind's hydrogen ions would've interacted with oxygen atoms in the rock particles, thereby generating H2O.

After scrutinizing samples of asteroid Itokawa brought back in 2010 by the Japanese space agency's Hayabusa space probe, the team confirmed the sun as a likely contributor to Earth's expansive water content. They published a paper on their findings Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.

I want to SEE water from dust.

If lunar rocks hold water, as you point out, then the lunar dust, which is pulverized rock, also holds water.

I make no apologies for my sardonic comment.

Your citation - of which I was aware - highlights the irony...and the hypocrisy of what we call ‘science’ today.

Pretty much. No matter what, the buck always starts/stops there. Something had to start it all. Some of us have an answer.

Yes lunar dust holds vast amounts of water in the form of hydrated minerals and enough oxygen for billions of humans as well. That regolith has been bombarded with solar wind for billions of years and has accumulated much hydrogen atoms incorporated into hydrated minerals using the oxygen already present in the rocks.

somehow, some way, it had to be a cosmic accident that made it all happen.

Other issues aside, "cosmic accidents" are one of the great certainties of the Universe...
