I treasure my kjv Bible so much because as an engineer,I have found out that the Bible was written by philosophers and wisemen.
Some things were codedly hidden in the book of books.
God told Abraham to circumcise his offsprings on the 8th day, why the 8th day?
Modern medical research have revealed that the human being have the highest quantity of vitamin k on the 8th day.
For your information, vitamin k is responsible for blood clotting.
General Joshua used accoustics to destroy the walls of Jericho.
People should stop thinking those men as inferior.
Moses is far wiser than Albert Einstein.

Where did the water go to? Cos according to biogeochemical cycle, nothing on earth is ever wasted cos it's a closed system.

The water didn't go anywhere. According to the account of the Bible in Genesis chapter one, God only separated the water. The one above formed the clouds or sky while the water under formed the earth out of which dry land later appeared.

Seems kind of childish to ruin the Earth because the same flawed creatures you made ate a fruit. The same humans were deceived by the same snake you created.

Man didn't create all those diseases either but we are trying to solve them, just some greedy or lazy people would rather pray than actually help.
Oga stop dancing around with words..is man not responsible for the unbridled deforestation on earth?? Is man not responsible for the million of metric ton of industrial waste being released into the environment?? Is man not responsible for the substandard quality of foods being sold??

Yes and according to the Bible man was created in the image of God wink. But the main point is that man doesn't create most of the diseases which cause people to suffer and die needlessly, why we need such I don't know.

Agreed, God has no beginning.

If the earth was without form, definitely there were substances which existed formlessly in nature. Substances such as oxygen, hydrogen and other chemical components. Yet with the chaotic order of nature at the time 'WATER' (H2O) was still able to form the DEEP as quoted from the Scripture. That was the beginning. Nothing else. So it would be inappropriate to assumed what might have happened before the Spirit of God appeared at the scene.

If one assumption is considered appropriate, one could as well assumed that since the earth was not the only planet in the universe it is possible that the Spirit of God might have 'descended' (or 'ascended' as the case may be) from other planets to establish order in the planet earth.

Still, the creation of all substances that formed the materials for the formless earth (where water, for example, was a principal material) before the Spirit of God intervened was deliberately avoided or wished away since there was no scientific explanation for the components of water.

All these point to the fact that many things have existed before biblical record on the creation of earth. This world has been in existence for billions of years. Evidence of the Ice Age is there for you to see. Fossils of plants and animals like Dinosaurs are available. These things have more years than what our religious teachings of history of the world have told us.

I am a Christian but I am not close minded.



How did you come to that conclusion? [/quote]


Lee29:

The time water was created was not mentioned. What we knew from Genesis is the fact that water was there before God created the earth and the sky.

In addition, God has no beginning; which means many things must have happened before God created the earth and man.

"...And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the DEEP. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the WATERS." Gen 1:2

The bible is very clear in the book of Genesis that the earth was a 'waterworld'

Reading Genesis 1: 6 - 10 will make you understand how God separated the waters on the earth from the waters in the firmament, and how he demarcated the waters on earth to bring about dry ground.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Reserve your "love" for God.

Some of the things people call science today are not actually science but propaganda.

Actual science basically stands for four things: Observation >> Hypothesis >> Experiment >> Theory. But today they like to bypass some of these things and teach us nonsense with projected, manipulated simulations.

Now going back to the case of the Earth being totally covered by water. Why is this a new fact? Is this not what God has already told us thousands of years back through the Bible? In the very second verse of the Bible - Genesis 1:2 "Now the earth was formless and empty, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God's spirit was moving about over the surface of the waters."

See? 1) The earth was empty. 2) And there was only darkness then. 3) The earth was covered by a watery deep. And 4) God's spirit started working on the waters in other to shift it one side so that the land can appear, and creating other things.

Coming to your question "Where did the water go?"

The answer is that the water didn't go, but God caused high mountains and hills to rise and deep ocean and sea levels to descend thereby creating large "earthen bowels" to hold in the waters while given much space for bare land. (Water space is still much larger than land space. They say water cover 70% of the Earth surface)

Why didn't you quote the part that said that the earth is flat.
The sun revolves around the earth
The moon has its own light etc?

The Earth is a flat disk in shape, like a dinner plate, and rests upon mountain pillars.
“It is [God] who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in.” — Isa. 40:22

The stars are little lights in the sky that are capable of falling to Earth like meteorites.
“Immediately after the suffering of [66-70 C.E.] the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken [Matthew 24:29].” The Christian Testament's many predictions of the end of the world coming well before 100 C.E. are also erroneous.

All what you mentioned are false

The Bible mentioning the ends of the earth does not mean the earth is flat. Ends of the earth means farthest places of the earth. Four corners- North, West, South, and East. The self-inflicted problem of your lots is failure to understand that English bible was translated from Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; and language sometimes are better understood in its context.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets does not mean the sun revolves around the earth. Everybody understands sunrise and sunset

The sun to rule in the day and the moon at night does not mean moon generates it's own light but rather emits light in the night

The bible mentioned in Leviticus that Rabbits chews, which is true.

I helped you with the bible passages. How long will you strive with your maker

Science is older than we think.

Did you know that Africans were already masters of caesarian sections before the colonialists came?

Banana wine were used as an anaesthetic. Imagine. These people had knowledge passed on over generations. Listen to all these old women who help deliver pregnant women in mission or traditional houses. Even without any education, their understanding of medicine is remarkable. And when you ask them how they know so much, they will tell you they got the knowledge from their mothers who were equally uneducated (formal education).

The whites did not only steal our arts, they stole our science too, and lied that they were the ones who gave our lives meaning.

I have diverted.

My point is: science is actually older than we think. Engineering is very old. Chemistry is very old. Mathematics is very old.

We continue to uncover massive structures from many centuries ago which are pointers to the advancement of engineering even many centuries ago.
