Vapour canopy and fountains of the deep

The Vapor Canopy theory is seldom used in creationist circles these days. In fact, I think AiG posted an official retraction of their support based on mathematical models that explain how ambient temperatures inside such a canopy would have boiled all of life.Where the VC theory came from was from Genesis, where it talks about the firmament as the "water above the waters." They took this to mean that it might be possible that it used to never rain in the antediluvian world because the vapor canopy, which is supposedly much like the ozone layer, trapped all moisture earth's atmosphere.Accordingly, God caused the canopy to rupture, along with the fountains of the deep, where it subsequently flooded the earth.

They believed that the fountains of the deep, such as huge, cavernous springs, fed the tributaries. Probably because no one ascribes to it within our resident creationists. You have to remember that the VC theory has been antiquated now for a number of years. Anyone who subscribes with AiG or ICR probably dropped the theory at their behest.

Oblivious Child,I'm simply telling you what some creationists have believed. There's no need to reprimand me, thanks.

I've been very candid in explaining all of the problems with the theory. Cripes, I'm the one who posted information on how the heat would have been so intense so as to not allow for life in the first place. For some odd reason, you took this to mean the exact opposite and decided to be a total jackass to me. I'm left wondering what exactly it was that caused your outburst. Probably because they don't ascribe to it.... Why would they chime in to defend it if they didn't agree with it?If I started a thread on recapitulation, would I expect any evolutionist on the forum to try and defend it? No, I wouldn't. Why would I expect it?
