My point is that it's no use even trying to prove that. It doesn't get you any closer to proving the Flood.
Understood... I was just pointing out another thorn.

You still have not addressed my points.
There is no record of a global flood in any ice core samples taken from all corners of the globe.
If a global flood happened without a doubt, it would have destroyed the polar ice caps removing any record of sediment.
Did your god protected the ice caps?

But I'm not talking about getting water OUT of the stone, the whole idea is that it went INTO the stone.
It's a figure of speech, Faith.
And nobody has yet accounted for why the stories about this discovery keep talking about "oceans" of water and a huge "reservoir" of water if all they mean is the "water" that exists on the sun, about which nobody ever speaks of "oceans" or "reservoirs."
There are 57,000,000 ocean's-worth of "water" on the Sun, enough to fill a vast reservoir. There you go. Now I've spoken of it in those terms.
And nobody has yet accounted for why the stories about this discovery keep talking about "oceans" of water and a huge "reservoir" of water [...] Kindly answer the question. "Lazy journalists" doesn't do it, they obviously got it from the scientists working on it.
The things you make up without evidence are not obvious.
Here's something the lead scientist did say: "It translates into a very, very large mass of water, approaching the sort of mass of water that's present in all the world's ocean".
This is not the same as calling it an ocean.
The question is Why mention water at all if it's really just a mineral they are talking about?
It's a mineral with hydroxide ions in it.
If you are genuinely too stupid to understand this interesting scientific result, you should stop talking about it.

The scripture implies that there were no polar ice caps before the Flood, they formed afterward.

Water. Amount of oceans' worth. Why mention it at all if it's a mineral that never was and never will be water?

So?

Temporary closure coming in 10 minutes
This topic was going really bad yesterday, but I forgot my laptop at home as was thus unable to log in at my internet connection at work.
I'm going to try to force the off-topic to find a better home. And catch up on the search for on-topic at this topic.
Temporary closure in about 10 minutes.

The scripture implies that there were no polar ice caps before the Flood, they formed afterward.
There are ice core samples that record sediments that date back thousands of years before any human records, including Abrianic mythology.
Ice core samples can be dated extremely accurately, you literally count yearly snowfall down the column, back thousands of years.
New Ice Core Reveals 800,000 Years of Climate History
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...05-antarctica-ice.html
Although it is not the deepest Antarctic core (the 3,263-meter [10,705-foot] Vostok core holds this record), its compressed ice does provide the longest polar climate record, going back 800,000 years.
Are you suggesting your scriptures or indeed your flood is older than 800,000 years?

Many "off-topic" banners posted - Topic reopened
Coyote gets a special off-topic prize for his message 5 regurgitation of favorite (but off-topic) anti-flood/YEC themes.
Faith also gets a special off-topic prize for her major topic theme disruption at message 18.
And then there were a few messages I deemed to deserve the "BIG off-topic banner".
I'll now mention that there is a new nice blog entry on this topics theme at Questioning Answers In Genesis: Earth's 'Underground Ocean': No remnant of the Flood
One topic title comment: I should have gotten the "prove" changed to "give evidence toward" before I approved this topic.
Now let's have the messages be on-topic (or possibly suffer harsh Adminnemooseus response). As I see it, it's some sort of "getting the water out of the mantle and/or getting it back in" sort of thing.

Or something like that.

I also see a better understanding of the chemistry of Ringwoodite should be allowed OT. The terminology used by the major new sources gives the impression of "oceans" when in fact all this H2o is locked up in the Ringwoodite mineral.
Here are some good resources:
Ringwoodite Mineral Data
Google Scholar

No-one said "it's a mineral that never was and never will be water".
Here are some possibly relevant statements from Wikipedia:
Ringwoodite in the lower half of the transition zone is inferred to play a pivotal role in mantle dynamics, and the plastic properties of ringwoodite are thought to be critical in determining flow of material in this part of the mantle. The solubility of hydroxide in ringwoodite is important because of the effect of hydrogen upon rheology.
Ringwoodite synthesized at conditions appropriate for the transition zone has been found to contain up to 2.6 weight percent water.[11][12]
Because the transition zone between the Earth’s upper and lower mantle helps govern the scale of mass and heat transport throughout the Earth, the presence of water within this region, whether global or localized, may have a significant effect on mantle rheology and therefore mantle circulation.[13] In regions of subduction zones, the ringwoodite stability field hosts high levels of seismicity.[14]
An ultra-deep diamond found in Juna, Brazil, contained inclusions of ringwooditethe only known sample of natural terrestrial originthus providing evidence of significant amounts of water as hydroxide in the Earth's mantle.[5] The mantle reservoir is found to contain about three times more water, in the form of hydroxide contained within the ringwoodite crystal structure, than the Earth's oceans combined.[6]
Flow, solubility, percent of water "contained" in the rock and so on.
The blog entry that Moose posted also speaks of actual water occurring in various phases of the chemistry involved.
All I want to know is whether the enormous quantity of water contained in the ringwoodite was possibly ever actual water in such a quantity, that then became ringwoodite.
And by the way I haven't felt any need for an answer to this particular question about where the water went after the Flood as I've seen creationist answers that seem sufficient to me, having to do with the dropping of the sea floor. Which incidentally could be implicated in the turning of water into ringwoodite.

Flow
Of the mantle.
solubility
Of hydroxide in ringwoodite.

No. There was never that amount of liquid water just sloshing about in bulk. If I have correctly understood your question, that is the answer.

No. Scripture implies a natural source for the water, not a miraculous source.
At the moment, I don't care where the water came from, I'm asking you whether the fact that god flooded the world to a level higher than the highest mountain was a miracle or not.
