It's sad that most people don't know how remarkable water is. It's one of the very few chemicals that expands when frozen. It's the best(and by best I mean its capable of dissolving the most things) solvent known to man. It has the largest difference between melting point and boiling point of all chemicals(more evidence that life is probably all over the universe)(or it could be the smallest difference(I know it is one of the extremes), which would show just how special our planet's position/temperature was). I learned most of these in my Organic Chemistry class last year.

You need to hit the books in General Chemistry some more. I mean, Organic Chemistry is the study of slimy stuff. Biochemistry is the study of slimy stuff that crawls. Anyway, in the department of melting/boiling differences, water is a wimp. Water has a difference of 100 degrees Celsius or Kelvin. Iron has a difference of 1,323. Cobalt is over 1,400 difference. Uranium is 3,000 degrees.
And while water is very good at dissolving other polar molecules or ompounds, it isn't much good at all at dissolving non-polar stuff, like oil, for instance. Most of the characteristics mentioned in the Physorg article are a result of the polar nature and associated hydrogen bonding of the water molecule. While each of the three atoms in a water molecule are electrically neutral, because of each having the same number of protons and electrons, by virtue of the way the electrons are shared, it has polarity. One way to visualize a water molecule is to think of Mickey Mouse's head. The Oxygen is Mickey's head and the 2 hydrogens are his ears. His head, because of the greater electronegativity of oxygen, is negatively charged, while the ears are positive. A really good tutorial on polarity and hydrogen bonding in water is at www.biology.arizona.edu...

Ah, the mighty scientific institutions are still in kindergarten concerning the consciousness that exists all around us.
I bet 2012 will be the year when Earth shifts frequencies and ignites into a being of light, aka a STAR.
Any takers?

Water molecules in star-forming regions can undergo a population inversion and emit radiation at 22 GHz, creating the brightest spectral line in the radio universe. Some water masers also emit radiation from a vibrational mode at 96 GHz.
Extremely powerful masers, associated with active galactic nuclei, are known as megamasers and are up to a million times more powerful than stellar masers.

This article makes me wonder if Jesus had some electrical properties that let him walk on water. Seems plausible. We all have electricity, if one could harness it maybe they could walk on water? Cool thread.

Doubtful. With al the mistruths about Jesus that float around what makes you think that this one is true?
Chris angel walks on water and no one worships him, well, anyone with a half a brain doesn't.
