Faith

We went to the Smithsonian during a visit to DC with the kids the other day. I was apprehensive about taking my children there because of their dishonest and close-minded approach to education. While there we listened to the beginning of a presentation of earth history. "Four billion years ago, the earth was covered in volcanoes. As the volcanoes erupted, they released water. Also, many icy comets crashed into the earth. These 2 conditions filled the oceans." You know the oceans - the ones that now cover 71% of the earth.

That's 343,423,668,428,484,681,262 gallons of water. That's how much water there is in the oceans.

From comets and volcanoes?!.

Do the math...if it covers 71% of the earth, in some places many miles deep, how much could have been INSIDE (to come out in volcanoes)(remembering the inside is SMALLER than the outside), and how many comets must have bombarded the earth to put the rest of it in the oceans.

Really? Volcanoes and comets?

Why did the comets stop? (I know...I know..we RAN OUT of them...)

Sure takes a lot of FAITH to believe THAT. Another new story to explain the unbelievable.
