The Flood

I didn't even know that water could exist within those temperatures.....I thought it would evaporate, whether embedded in rocks or not.

Pretty cool, eh?

Here is a chart detailing the info we shmart nosepokey primates have dicovered aboot water. The horizontal axis is tempearature -- the vertical axis is pressure -- higher pressure can mean deeper into the earth or even atmospheric pressure

(source google image search)

You'll note there are two data points that are 'Freezing point at 1 atm' and 'Boiling point at 1 atm' -- these are the ones that we are taught -- 0 C and 100 C

You'll also notice some other things, like 'Critical Point', which is the temperature and pressure that the boundaries between liquid & gas states do not exist. The 'Triple Point' is the temperature and pressure where all 3 phases (solid liquid & gas) exist. And a solid, liquid, and a gas all exhibit different behaviours.

Now roughly, pressure increases by 30 kPa per km of depth. So 700km = 21000 kPa -- cross index that with the temperature at that depth ~1625 c...water may actually be a solid? :3

For fun, here is a list of pressures and their real world equivalents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

HOT OFF THE PRESSES

(some) WATER ON EARTH IS OLDER THAN OUR SUN!

simply PRIMORDIAL

I didn't even get into numbers. I never took a thermo course. We assume our designs, mostly meant to contain humans, don't get above habitable temperatures. I only have to look at thermal expansion at temps generally well below boiling. That enough water to cover the highest peaks, coming out of the ground at a temperature of 2000F and above is a problem, is really just common sense.

Also, I was curious what the temperature down at 700km was. I knew it would be hot, but 3000F is insane.

What I still find most interesting, is the idea that God could cool this water miraculously, but he couldn't miraculously make it appear.

My feeling is, God could have made it miraculously appear. I know you perceive things differently.

another cool talk, showing, again, what can happen when someone tries actually investigating what IS really there rather than by one's belief ('this is how it was, this is how my tribe thinks it is, so this is how it still is')


water, quite an amazing process
