If God wants a "fountain of the great deep", he will make one.

And if he wanted to get rid of all the unclean animals and all but a handful of people, they'd just be gone.

[BrandtMichaels]

If God had done it any other way, the the Biblically inspired scriptures would support some other way - but it simply does not! I sleep much better with men being the liars than I am with God being a liar about even one jot or tittle.

Yes, but that is beside the point.

Again, God can do whatever he wants, but a layer of hydrated silicate rock in/near the mantle does not prove "fountains of the great deep".

Some Christians are too quick to pick up on scientific discoveries and say they support the Judeo-Christian accounts, when if they had read the paper in question, they'd know better, and not look like fools in the eyes of those who don't believe in God, and thus damage the cause of Christ.

I am a Christian, but I don't want us to look like fools by claiming hydrated silicate rock is the same as "fountains of the great deep".
