Water world: Entire Earth was covered in a global ocean three billion years ago that would have submerged Mount Everest

If the earth was formed 4.54 billion years ago, and the moon formed 4.1 billion years ago, it sure seems 0.1 to 1.0 billion years would be a very short time to form sufficient ice on a the planet that had just been shattered by an impact creating the moon, and then melt the same ice to form a water world 30,000 feet deep or more without losing it to space. Not understanding the cycle being proposed.

Where was the beach?

There is at least as much water trapped within rocks in the mantle about 400 miles down as there is in all the surface oceans. If the mantle was hotter 3 billion years ago, it would have held less.

[Veto!]

What? Climate changes? Who knew?

[kaehurowing]

Read Genesis 1.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But I have repeatedly been assured there is not enough water on the earth to cover it.

Because.... Science!

Now Science says there was.

Maybe science is a process we have to try to figure things out rather then being a static item?

Not news...

...the scientists at Harvard and the author of the article merely need to read Genesis 1:1-9. This is all covered there.

[Fungi]

Nonsense.

[Fledermaus]

DANG, there goes that really expensive Top of the World Villa I bought.

Did they find Mitch McConnell on a post?

With all this water, why do I have to buy a toilet that won’t flush last night’s dinner?

[Secret Agent Man]

science doesn’t really “know” anything.

it can only say what it currently believes at this moment...

because all the stuff people make careers out of saying ‘this happened’ or ‘this is the law for this’ often turns out not to be, later on

and then theres the good old fashioned tricksters as well

[doc maverick]

Exactly. Anyone who knows their Bible knew this anyway.
It’s nothing new.

[hinckley buzzard]

What is the point?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

>>>Read Genesis 1<<<

Genesis 1 by itself does not explain what occurred between verse 1 and verse 2. One needs to study up on what the Bible calls "the Deep."

THE DEEP by Dr. David Peacock

Apparently, Adam and Eve had too large a carbon footprint, because we all know that’s the only way this could happen.

So where did the water all go?
