Thanks for posting that. Is God an amazing Creator or what?

20,0000 Leagues Under the Sea....Who knew???

This is an old theory I think....Mentioned in a circa 1850 book.

Of course there is more water in the earth that can be seen in the oceans as all that water from Noah’s Great Flood had to come from somewhere and go somewhere.

[Neidermeyer]

This could be the key to colonizing Mars..

[fwdude]

Well, the Great Flood had to have drained somewhere.

I never could swallow all that comets-hitting-the-Earth-filled-the-oceans nonsense.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

‘on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.’

The Bible is so stupid, there was never vast amounts of water trapped underground.

[DManA]

It’s not free water. It is chemically bound up in the rocks.

[rktman]

Well duh! Ever heard of Jules Verne? Hello............ They even made a couple of “documentaries” about it. LOL! I’m thinkin’ the evil Koch brothers are paying to keep it hidden from us.

The ocean is a desert with it's life underground And a perfect disguise above...

[Blood of Tyrants]

The bible does say that during the Great Flood of Noah that the earth broke open and the water came from the depths of the earth.

Hmmm...I take the Bible as literal, and accept the biblical version of the flood, but the math doesn’t quite add up in this case.

If the surface of the earth is 3/4 covered by water, how can the remaining 1/4 contain enough underground water to fill the rest 3 times over?

Enough to cover the earth 1x? I’ll accept that...

[bert]

Well, not all of it......

[SpinnerWebb]

But what is your horse’s name?

[redgolum]

You know, there was a book I had many years ago that pretty much predicted this. The gentleman was talking about how the crust behaves, and how it is not like you would expect molten rock to behave.

I will have to dig though my library to find it.

It’s Ø’s fault...

The Receeder-in-chief made them receed. 660 km of receed... that’s some impressive receeding!

I never could swallow all that comets-hitting-the-Earth-filled-the-oceans nonsense.

Due to plate tectonics, the water below the surface was once on the surface. It still could have come from comets and asteroids. At any rate, water was part of the nebula surrounding the sun from which the planets formed.

You’re just trying to cause trouble...
