Where did all our water come from?

Imaginative scheme
for explosion to condense
in nebulae and galaxies,
a universe immense,
and a hot cooling earth
just happening to be
a position so good
for you and me.

But even if we could evolve
– so intricate our chemistry –
we’d need so much (we have so much)
plenty of water there must be.

Their guess for this cooling sphere so hot
doesn’t have a solution to how we have got
these oceans so vast of this simplest solvent,
their only suggestion that somehow it came
by meteor or comet again and again
impacts in their thousands battering the sphere;

no, the answer is simple,
the answer is near:
no ‘bang’ came from nowhere to make us appear –
the earth and the universe, and all life’s design
– including its water – were made by divine
Supernatural Skill,
and He’s told us about it
– a Spirit to awe us, and love us – don’t doubt it
– who’s promised to come soon to sort out the mess.

So, as you wait,
ask Him to show you
that He’s the Creator
of an earth with water …

bow, ask Him to bless!

We (myself and a couple of friends who came to view the garden) discussed this just yesterday afternoon. Reckon you just about nailed it.

Thank you. The suggestion of water coming that way is so far-fetched, and the answer is so simple. Need a Designer, not chance! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon, the actual scientific answer’s and astrophysicists finds can be found on NASA’s site. The studies of Jupiter’s moon Europa from the Cassini spacecraft and the Juno satellite that launched in 2011 – They have measured the massive ice storms and found evidence these violent storms could have had a basis in creating earth’s atmosphere during its evolution as these ice storms slammed into earth’s atmosphere during its creation - and it is a very interesting study.

There’s a lot we can see from Cassini and now Juno that launched in 2011 to study Saturn and Jupiter the giant planets but Science does not negate a creator - God is not held to our human frailties or limited views. Certainly, what we can see and measure scientifically is the human view of our world and it is not wrong but - that view certainly can be the result of the creators' hand that started it all - Science is our determination of what has been created in the human world- This is not a measurement of the Creator beyond that scope- so in my humble opinion, both God and Science can simultaneously exist. What we see happening in billions of years on Earth could certainly have been a blink of an eye in the realm of the creator.

Hi, Penny. Thank you for sharing your thinking. I'm certainly not against science, and did my degree in biochemistry (hence an understanding of the complexity of cellular chemical interactions and activity, and an awareness of the impossiblilty of  such coming to be by chance interactions or mutations. Actually, nowadays , Darwin would probably have realised that the mechanisms he'd hoped would show up have receeded in possibility. Science cannot study the past, and the evidence we find is all better explained scientifically by a creation not so very long ago. Billions of years are brought in in the hope that anything may be able to happen in such a time. But changes are normally detremental, and always involve a loss of information, not a new information being produced.

Also, the fossils had to be buried and form rapidly not over long years, or the animals would have been scavenged (and the indications are often that they were formed in great catastrophic stormy conditions). The rocks are considered very old just to give time for change.Rock layers have been seen to form quickly, and fossilisation, and now dinosaurs are being found to have unfossilised tissue and couldn't have existed like that for so very long. Dating methods used have to assume the ratio of components present at the beginning, and that the rates of change haven't varied, and no other loss or gain  to the system. There are very many indications of the age of the earth being in the region of thousans of years, not billions.

So, it may seem extreme, but there are plenty of scientists who agree that evolutionary ideas are in great problems, and some are scared to admit it for fear of contempt from others whose main reason for 'wanting' evolution to have happened is that they needn't then answer to a Creator.

This business of the water is a real problem. They assume that the earth was very hot when supposedly formed from a big bang, and so water would evaporate. I'm not clear what you mean about icestorms coming in from space, but I think the problem is regarded as so great that they seriously think that the water probably came from meteors or comets, but there would have had to be very very many really big ones coming in. I think if you google, 'Where did earth's water come from?' you'll see this is what is being suggested.

regards Rhiannon

I apologize Rhiannon - I know Nasa’s science finds are not nearly done nor are they conclusive, I meant only that I found the Cassini and Juno programs to be interesting. What I truly wanted to say was that I believe scientific studies and God can co-exist in our world -  Maybe I just should have said that alone- sorry.

There's nothing to apologise for, Penny. I have always loved space exploration and photography, so immense, so beautiful, such wonderful plan. I didn't want to snub your thinking through these issues, but hoped I could tell you of science that does support God creating at once as the Bible speaks of, for evolution has been presented as proven for so long rather than the hypothesis that it is, and it is good to hear the other side of the investigations! Growing up when the first satellites went up, I made books of facts and suprised  my parents and sister who were more into literature and history, and I felt I couldn't keep up with them in that field! regards, Rhiannon
