I didn't reply to the whole post, JR, as I wanted to just discuss the canopy for a moment. Your biblical arguments against the canopy, that the "windows of heaven" don't necessitate it, are the same as arguments against the rain coming from the fountains of the great deep--the biblical text has...

Turtles, perhaps, but maybe not Sea Turtles. They could have been lake turtles or river turtles. They might have laid eggs out in the open, if the environment permitted and lack of predators permitted it. God seems to have made creatures that can adaptor to their environs.

There are lots of things not mentioned in scripture that still happened. It could have been. But just because it could have originated with the earth, parts of which you say can be blasted to the far reaches of our solar system, doesnt mean other planeys couldnt experience similar events, maybe...

Are you suggesting that all conversion experiences are to be compared with Saul's? That Jesus appears visibly to everyone who will be redeemed? That Jesus was merely blowing smoke when He said, "blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed"?

With rivers in the garden that flow out to water the whole earth, drowning seems more likely. I.e., even the very good creation you envision had a dangerous side. But Lucifer was supposed to be a protector, a "covering", which likely would have been a good protection against meteorites...

We don't know much of China from scripture, either. No, liquid water in the past, now not visible, but which left telltale markings of something like a global, or at least catastrophic, flood there. But Walt has the same problem if the lunar tides in place at the beginning eventually break up...

Not at all. It's a great way to analyze the data we have. My point was that two comets whose paths converge at a date near the flood is pretty good, but could be coincidental. Three or four that converge at the same time would be monumental.

I made up most of the asteroid belt one, but why not? If it's possible for the earth to do it, why not some other planet?

There are other viable sources of water, too. Mars once had enough surface water to have a global flood. Some have suggested the reason Mars is named after a god of war is because it used to precess in its orbit in a way that it came close to the earth on occasion, so it could have collided...

Did I not just respond to your post of a Bryan Nickel's video where my question referenced something within the video? Yes, I've watched a couple. They are well done and compelling. I'm not being antagonistic with my question, but you can't just show how two comets had a near miss with each...

How many of those simulations have been done? It seems like just 2 comets could be considered a coincidence, but the coincidental nature would quickly subside as more are added.

Follow the science.

Agreed, assuming there were no unknown physical phenomena active at the time, or miracles, which might look like each other, when we don't understand either. Which is kind of like not agreeing with you, I suppose.

mercury is a metal, even when in a liquid form, which it is at standard temp and pressure. It remains a metal when it is vaporized. "Metal" is a chemical designation that applies to all phases of the element in question. There is some disagreement about whether hydrogen actually meets the...

I don't remember, but it was at least loosely based on Henry Morris's work. And the "beaten" nomenclature was, I think, from the verses talking about stretching out the heavens, the idea being that if you compress metal, which includes hydrogen, it both flattens and spreads out. Yes, I couldn't...

The original canopy theory I remember hearing about was a firm structure of hydrogen "beaten" or compressed into a very thin (one molecule thick, maybe?) shield of sorts around the earth. I'm going based on a 45 year old memory of a series of sermons our pastor gave back then. It wasn't a vapor.

yes, my point exactly. then He put stars and the sun and moon in it. In the crust of the earth. Saying it not only doesn't make it so, it makes the whole theory totter on the edge of the riduculous. But take that part away, and he has some great concepts to consider.

Well, calling the earth "heaven" is a pretty serious flaw.

At least not any more!

It only need be thick enough to provide for SOME of the flood. The fountains of the great deep are still to be considered. And once rain started falling it could be replenished by the interim (during the flood) hydrologic cycle, whatever that might look like.
