It is commonly believed among mainstream science that the atomic elements present in planets are derived from nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a
process where smaller atoms join together to form larger atoms. The foundational atom of nuclear fusion is hydrogen. Given these modern nuances and
vocabulary, it may seem inconceivable that the Bible could accurately depict how solid land formed on earth. But surely enough it is stated in Genesis
1:9, and re-emphasized in Job 38:21
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. Genesis 1:9
The waters being gathered into one place is similar to Einstein's idea of spacetime curvature, where the surfaces of massive objects are curved to
cause a super hot and pressurized core. Think of bending a sheet of foam, the inner part will condense. By densifying the waters into a central
location, this caused a massive increase in pressure and heat. At this point all that was present was water, so the core became essentially a massive
pressure cooker and resulted in heating water to its plasma state.
When water is heated to the plasma state, it dissociates into it's component atoms in ion form: hydrogen and oxygen. These are the fundamental
components of nuclear fusion, which can inevitably result in the formation of ALL ELEMENTS known to exist. This process creates an abundance of
elements lighter than iron, and trace amounts of elements heavier than iron due to the reactionary unfavorability.
4 Hydrogen fuse together to form 1 Helium, 3 Helium fuse together to form 1 Carbon, and so on and so on. These reactions also release large amounts of
energy, which causes a snowballing effect to amplify the reaction. All of this can occur simply from an abundance of very highly pressurized and
heated water in its plasma form. This is the same process that is theorized to be occurring
in the center of the sun
To further validate that this process is what Genesis 1:9 is referring to, we have Job 38:30 where God is explaining His handiwork of creation:
"The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep coalesced"
Most translations have "frozen" instead of "coalesced", but if you look at the definition of the word used there (
biblehub.com...)
it has nothing to do with freezing, but more so an assimilation or a collection thereof. This is emphasizing that God captured the solid ground out of
the primordial waters (Genesis 1:2). We now know this process as nuclear fusion of the components of water in the plasma state.
Normally this process takes long amounts of time under standard pressure, which is partially why stars are theorized to be so old. But given the
primordial waters were approximately infinite to begin with and then condensed into one spot as was said in Genesis 1:9, this would create an
exponential increase in the rate of fusion reaction far greater than what is theoretically exhibited in the center of stars. This is because
condensing a constant mass into a smaller volume will create vast amounts of pressure. Pressure is known to exponentially increase the rate of fusion
reactions!
The necessary pressure for this all to occur in a day is actually calculable, given that we know the current rates of nuclear fusion. for
approximately 1 x 10^21 cubic meters of land to form in 86400 seconds (one day) at 1 billion degrees Kelvin, it would require an internal pressure of
approximately 1 x 10^19 atmospheres of pressure. This could very well be achieved if boundless waters were densified into one spot as is said in
Genesis 1:9. The waters wouldn't necessarily have to have been infinite. In fact, a volume of approximately 1 x 10^40 cubic meters of primordial water
condensed to the size of the earth would generate the necessary pressure to catalyze the fusion of all elements on earth in a day. Where all this
extra energy went will be discussed in a later thread.
So after God forced the waters into what is essentially a super dense pressure cooker, nuclear fusion exploded in a relatively quick creation of all
of the elements on earth and formed the soil (Carbon, etc) and the mountains. In Job 38 God is explaining to Job how His knowledge is incomprehensible
to Job, yet clearly it is a gift of knowledge He is willing to grant to the later generations as our scientific knowledge progressed to allow us to
understand these things.
