Re: Oceans

Hi rox,

You have to visualize geologic time like a time line. At the beginning, the earth was molten and then it cooled. Very little is known about earth's beginnings, but eventually the earth had oceans. Somewhere in *middle* you have the fish, plant, and dinosaurs flourishing. At the very end, you have humans.

Where did the water come from that produced those oceans?

Two sources has been put forth. Gases released from volcanoes contained water vapor, and small ice comets and frozen asteroids collided with the ancient Earth.

There is presently enough water in the mantel to fill all the oceans 7 times. That is a tremendous amount of water.

Is there any scientific verifiable evidence of where one drop of any of that water we have come from?

God Bless,

Hi Coragyps,

Almost a sixth of one percent of the mass of the planet! Imagine that!

ABE I forgot to mention your 1/6 of 1% is wrong. It is actually .184%. According to this Source.

Comparing the water to the mass of the earth makes it seem so small.

Lets look at it another way.

If you had all that water out of the mantel and on the surface of the earth, The top of Mt Everest which is 29,029 feet above sea level would be covered with 55,979 feet of water which is equal to 10.6+ miles.

I don't know about you but I think that is a tremendous amount of water that had to come from some where by some method.

I would still like to know if there is any scientific verifiable evidence of where it came from, and how it got here.

God Bless,

Dude, that is 1/6th of 1% to the margin of error implied by using a '1/6th'.

Sorry Coragyps, and Jack I am going to have to stop pulling all nighters my mind is bad enough when I have proper rest. I wasn't thinking clear not that I have that much to think with to start with.
