Revealed:The vast reservoir hidden beneath the Earth's crust that holds as much water as ALL of the

This is pretty cool... it has been discovered that there is a HUGE layer of water beneath the Earth's surface. But is it really a new discovery?

Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Turns out that the Bible has beat science to the punch, again, by a few thousand years.


"New" discovery

There is already a thread on this

Turns out that the Bible has beat science to the punch, again, by a few thousand years.

and in that thread this is addressed. Turns out…the Bible is not right. Again.

Awesome post man. As in most cases, the truth has always been right in front of us. It is our lack of discernment and understanding that lead people astray.

Wonder what sort of life has evolved down there. Cthulu perhaps

That drawing doesn't get it exactly right. There could be a lot of water contained in the Earth's mantle but it's not free water. It's water contained in chemical compounds in rocks, minerals.

Tests on the mineral found that about 1.5% of its weight is water. "That doesn't sound like much, but when you calculate the vast volumes of ringwoodite thought to exist in the deep Earth, the amount of water might be as high as that contained in all the world's oceans," Pearson told the Guardian. That amounts to more than one billion billion tonnes of water.

Similar stuff is found on the Moon.

“The water locked into the mineral apatite in the Moon rocks studied has an isotopic signature very similar to that of the Earth and some carbonaceous chondrite meteorites,” says Barnes. “The remarkable consistency between the hydrogen composition of lunar samples and water-reservoirs of the Earth strongly suggests that there is a common origin for water in the Earth-Moon system.”
