The atheists here laugh at the Biblical account of the flood of Noah. The flood caused radical changes to the geography of the earth. The firmament of water above the earth apparently condensed and fell to the earth in the form of rain. The firmament of water below the earth’s ancient crust, including the ancient seabeds, welled up to the surface which caused the ancient crust to collapse— which totally changed the geography of the ancient earth. It explains the formation of the mountains and fossils of fish and seashells on the tops of mountains worldwide. The firmament of water beneath the ancient earth’s crust must have been salty— which explains the saltiness of the earth’s oceans.

With oceans covering more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface, researchers have repeatedly scratched their heads trying to solve a mystery regarding the source of water on our planet.
The Sun can now be seen as a major source of water on Earth, a new study has revealed.
The study was conducted by a University of Glasgow-led international team of researchers, who suggested that solar radiation might have created water on the surface of dust grains carried on asteroids that smashed in to our planet billions of years ago.
Phil Bland, a professor at Curtin University and one of the scientists involved in the study, referred to an existing theory that “water was carried to Earth in the final stages of its formation on C-type asteroids”.
He explained in a statement that previous testing of “the isotopic ‘fingerprint’ of these asteroids found they, on average, didn’t match with the water found on Earth meaning there was at least one other unaccounted for source”.

The professor added that their latest research “suggests the solar wind created water on the surface of tiny dust grains and this isotopically lighter water likely provided the remainder of the Earth’s water”.
“This new solar wind theory is based on meticulous atom-by-atom analysis of miniscule fragments of an S-type near-Earth asteroid known as Itokawa, samples of which were collected by the Japanese space probe Hayabusa and returned to Earth in 2010”, Bland said.
The scientists believe that that their new theory pertaining to the origin of Earth’s water may help astronauts to process fresh supplies of water “straight from the dust on a planet’s surface”, including that of the Moon.
