Agreed.

Casts a shadow of duobt on the credibility of the entire story.

fountains for the deep comes to mind

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. (Genesis 2:5-6).

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Genesis 7:10-11).

*snicker*

It could just be a sloppy website, without prejudice to the accuracy of the fact claims.

Carbonatous chondrite meteors where made our of the same “dust” that the earth was. In fact, these meteors can be up to 22% water. So the ones that still occasionally strike us, along with a chondrites, tell us about the composition of earth and we have had water since very soon after our formation. Now, if the “Big Thwack” theory of the moon is correct, and the moon samples support that theory of our collision with “Thera” creating the moon, the collision would have blown any surface volatiles off into space. The great bombardment periods along with volcanic activity would have replaced and added to the atmosphere and oceans.

Anyhow, that’s the theory many geologists have. :-)

Oops, the molecules of H2O on 67P are not the right mix of light and heavy water to be the source of Oceanic water on Earth. . . but then, that was predicted by proponents of the Electric Universe. H2O found on comets and in their comae are essentially created in the high energy plasma from Oxygen encountering the Hydrogen ions of the solar wind and combining in to OH and H2O. As Dr. Jessica M. Sunshine, lead scientist for the Deep Impact mission to Comet Tempel 1 said:
"In the Deep Impact data we're essentially watching water molecules form and then dissipate right in front of our eyes." Dr. Sunshine said her first reaction to the M3 data was skepticism.

Again, the Electric Universe predictions are being validated, but the orthodox Gravity driven Universe Cosmologists will not admit it. — Ping

So just because one comet is this way means we can close the book?

Uh, it is not one comet, but every comet we've visited, flown by, or impacted, that has NOT bothered to meet the orthodox cosmologists dirty snowball descriptions they want them to be. Essentially, they are indistinguishable from ordinary asteroids. Rocks covered with dust.

This one 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is getting ridiculous with the things they are pulling out of their hat. They claim they "drilled" into the surface with their hammer drill, but it was too hard, "as hard as rock," as one scientist put it, to go more than a one or two millimeters with a drill that was intended to go much farther (up to 10 centimeters) into hard primordial ice. Their excuse was the "ice was far harder then expected. . . but, their spokesperson said the ice they hammered was at the acceptable extreme range for super hard ice." Right. But they couldn't drill into it. That's acceptable?

Then, the next day, another group who is trying to locate the probe announces that according to all the sensors' reports, they think the Philae lander is lying on its SIDE at the with at least one of its legs sticking out into space! How did a drill that comes out of the BOTTOM of the lander even go into the comet, if the lander is lying on its side? Second serious question: how did they hammer it in without bouncing, since their "ice anchors" in the legs that were to keep the lander on the surface and hold it down for such drilling, failed to deploy!?!? Keep in mind the gravity on 67P is 1.5mm/second/second and driving a drill into the surface would result in an opposite and equal force in the opposite direction. . . lifting the lander off the surface with each blow of the drill's hammer, if it is NOT anchored. Something simply does not compute in what they are telling the public and what is possible with the engineering of the Phillae lander!

Shortly afterward, Philae shut down for a long winter's nap. . . not to start up again, if at all, until Spring, when it may have enough oomph in its batteries saved up to do a few more experiments.

Absolutely. They need to read Genesis, and therein they will find all the information they need to explain exactly how it was all done, and by Whom it was all done.

This is funny. So water emanates from certain classes of rock and Earth is composed of rock.

When do I get my degree?
