It’s not water, it’s steam. Al Gore said the temperature was millions of degrees down there.

And God separated the waters from the waters.

...and a mist went forth from the earth to water the plants....

...and the fountains of the deep broke open...

People are going to find out one way or another the thing they ae joking about being some redneck baptist fairy tale, is real. They aren’t going to be laughing then. And they could all be spared that moment but they are too arrogant and prideful and hard-hearted towards God.

If this is true, then something down there has to be a lot denser than we thought, as the calculated of mass of the Earth is a given (orbital calculation).

So far, that's the only sane comment on this thread ...

From the article: “The reservoir, which is said to be three times the volume of the oceans on the surface, is contained within highly-pressurized rock known as ringwoodite.” So it’s not “an ocean” but contained within rock. Ironically enough, volcanic magma depends on water for its molten state. That’s why so many volcanos are found adjacent to plate subduction zones. I agree it seems counterintuitive but matter and materials behave differently under great heat and pressure than they do on the surface. The granite you may have in your kitchen sink requires water to form and the speed of cooling determines the size of the included crystals. “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to spare.”

It’s chemically-bound water in solid form in a substance called Ringwoodite. It doesn’t pour or flow like water.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ~Genesis 7 verse 11

Every day we learn that the Bible is not just a story.

I wouldn’t attribute that to Noah’s Flood. This “water” doesn’t gush or flow. I believe Noah’s flood and the fountains of the deep have been pretty well exhausted and used up. It’s all in the oceans now.

I’ve always hoped that the center of earth was hot chocolate. That would make the universe make sense.

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad

And

They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back for
All my kind, unselfish, loving deeds,
Hah?
Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet
And when they do they’ll put you in the ASPCA you mangey mutt!

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see.....
