The story of Noah is true!

Green, I did the math a couple of years back on a thread. You need around 2.7 times all of the water anywhere on the Earth to get a volume that will cover Everest. If you found a new ground water body the volume of all the oceans you would still be missing more than around 1.8 times the amount of water necessary.

Remember volume increases at the cubed of the radius.

Even Ronald Millet, in his recent "teleporting kangaroo" train wreck of apologetic contortionism, admitted that while there's 1.3 billion cubic kilometers of water in all of the oceans combined, you'd need an additional 4.5 billion cubic kilometers to produce the flood.

Also, in my rudimentary understanding of the article, the water seems to be trapped in the mineral "ringwoodite." The article mentions that ringwoodite is extremely, extremely rare, and that the only sample they have found is a single stone just 0.12 inches in diameter. That. Is. All. Don't you think that if this was the source of 4.5 billion cubic kilometers of additional water needed for the global flood, there might be quite a bit of it laying around? Or do you subscribe to the Millet tricky god theory of scrubbed global evidence, and the single sample is just the crumb that God forgot?

It really WILL take a scientifically inclined believer to mend the damage done to science by Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. You enhance this damage by referring to God as 'magic'.

I know I am going to regret asking this, but, um, what damage has Neil deGrasse Tyson done to science, pray tell?

He called god magic?

[_Quasimodo]

Great, now you only need an additional twice as much water as claimed in that article and you can start to come up with sufficient volume.

I think many of those would tell you the land was pretty flat in those days.

That would be an excellent metaphor for those who accept a global flood (not me). I suggested it in my News forum thread on this subject on the MDDB.

A global flood did occur and this may be where some of the water came from.

All you have to do is open your mind to the possibility.

I read the article. Interesting that potentially so much water could be locked up deep in the earth's crust.

I guess a global flood is now possible...if we take the position that the water somehow covered the earth, without actually interacting or touching with anything.

You may as well have just said magic with the BS you just spewed out. God will hide the evidence? You describe a deceiver God.

And if you look carefully, notice that I reject such a notion that God would mislead us in such fashion.

Bumping for you to identify specifically where NDT has done damage to science. Thanks in advance.

Isn't it funny that a global flood could occur without impacting in the least several major ancient civilizations?

God is such a joker. Making all the evidence contrary to his written word.

Still not enough water if the water amount locked in the rocks is comparable to the current volume of the oceans and seas.
