WATER IN
SPACE
"And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.”
(Genesis 1:7).
The first chapter of Genesis
records that God created the waters not only on the earth, but also in the
heavens of outer space. For centuries, scientists claimed that this was a
serious mistake. Yet just recently, scientists had to admit that Moses was
right. Massive amounts of water do indeed exist in space, just as the Bible
proclaimed. Of course, the extreme temperatures of space have caused this water
to float around as permanent ice.
This frozen ice has been
discovered in the ice caps of Mars, in the rings of Saturn, as well as in the
Oort Cloud at the edge of our solar system. The Oort Cloud is estimated to hold
a trillion large comets composed of both rock and ice. So you see, the Bible is
not a science book, but it certainly does not make any mistakes when referring
to science! Also Job was correct. The earth does indeed hang and even travel
through the emptiness…
[Moses and Job were correct
because God revealed the truth to them, as all the Bible as originally revelaed
by God is "The Truth"]

"The Bible declares that God
separated the waters below from the waters that were above (in the heavens):
'And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst
of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the
firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters
which were above the firmament: and it was so' (Gen. 1:6,7). This
biblical statement declares that God created a large amount of water which He
placed in the heavens or outer space. Does any evidence exist to prove the
accuracy of this statement from the Bible? The existence of water in space
seemed improbable, to say the least, to scientists until quite recently.
However, further astronomical discoveries have proven conclusively that massive
amounts of water do exist in space, just as the Bible claimed. Naturally,
because of extreme temperatures, the waters in space are frozen into permanent
ice. Recently our satellites discovered large quantities of ice in the ice caps
of Mars as well as in the rings of Saturn. In addition, we now know that the
huge comets that travel through our solar system are composed of massive amounts
of ice.
"A massive block of ice from
space collided with the earth at the beginning of this century at a point in
northern Russia: 'In the morning of 30 June 1908, a fantastic explosion occurred
in central Siberia...Witnesses described an enormous meteoric bolide visible in
the sky for a few seconds. Other witnesses from a distance of 60 kilometers (36
miles) from the point of impact were knocked over...Seismic shocks were
registered over the whole world...this event was due to the collision with the
earth of a block of ice weighing 30,000 tons which...released energy equivalent
to that of a thermonuclear bomb of 12 megatons.' (J. Audouzze, The Cambridge
Atlas of Astronomy, [Cambridge University Press, 1985], p. 219).
Researchers found that this Siberian explosion was caused by a small fragment of
the comet Encke that broke away during its passage through our solar system. The
latest scientific research has revealed that massive amounts of ice also exist
at the outer edge of our solar system. The Ort Cloud at the edge of our solar
system is a vast region of space that is estimated to hold as many as a trillion
large comets composed of ice and rock. Each large comet is calculated to contain
as much as one trillion tons of ice. The vast amount of water in our oceans is
less than a fraction of the quantities of water that exist in the 'firmament above' in the heavens as reported in the
Book of Genesis. A passage in Job also refers to the ice and frost in the
heavens: 'Hath the rain a father? or who hath
begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost
of heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the
face of the deep is frozen. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or
loose the bands of Orion?' (Job 38:28-31)."

NASA'S POLAR
SPACECRAFT CONFIRMS...
Small Comets
are Pelting Earth
A series of spectacular
images produced by state-of-the-art cameras on NASA's Polar spacecraft have
confirmed that Earth is being pelted by thousands of small comets each day.
These never-before-seen images establish the physical reality of the house-sized
"snowballs" that weigh tens of tons, break up as they approach Earth, and
deposit large clouds of water vapor in the upper atmosphere.
These Earthbound comets,
however, represent no threat to either people on the ground or in orbit as these
objects disintegrate far above the Earth's atmosphere. "In fact," says Louis A.
Frank, the University of Iowa space physicist who first proposed the existence
of these small comets more than a decade ago, "this relatively gentle cosmic
rain and its possible simple organic compounds may well have nurtured the
development of life on our planet."
"The Polar results
definitively demonstrate that there are objects entering Earth's upper
atmosphere that contain a lot of water," says University of Michigan professor
Thomas Donahue, one of the world's leading authorities on atmospheric science.
"Images like this show that
we have a large population of objects in Earth's vicinity that have not been
detected before," notes Frank.

THE GREAT DEEP
Genesis
1:2,6-8
... And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let
there be a firmament (expansion) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament (expansion) and divided
the waters which were under the firmament (expansion) from the waters which were
above the firmament (expansion): and it was so. And God called the firmament
(expansion) Heaven.
God made an expanse of space
in the midst of the great deep of waters. In this space which he called heaven
God placed the sun, moon, stars and the earth. Beyond the expanse of space the
Word of God declares there to be water: The Great Deep.
THE
FLOOD OF NOAH'S TIME
Genesis
7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken
up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
In the days of Noah, certain
powerful angel spirit beings (devil spirits) attempted to destroy the earth and
stop the promised Christ from coming by breaking up the great deep beyond space
and making windows in the heavens to bring water to flood the earth.
Genesis
8:2 The
fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain
from heaven was restrained;
God closed the "windows of
heaven" and stopped the fountains of the deep. The spirits that had caused the
problem were outside of the expanse of heaven in the great deep when God stopped
up the holes. The Word of God declares that they are in chains under darkness
and that they are kept there until the day of judgement.
When Jesus Christ was
ministering to a man possessed of many devils, the devils " besought him that he would not command them to go out
into the deep. Luke 8:31."
1 Peter
3:19-20 By which [his resurrected body] he [Christ] went and preached unto the
spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering
of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing ...
On the night that Jesus
Christ was raised from the dead and had received his spiritual body he went
beyond the expanse of space and witnessed to these imprisoned spirits. He let
them see that their attempt to destroy the earth and keep the promised Christ
from redeeming mankind had failed and that all God had promised had come to
pass.
As cold waters to a thirsty
soul, so is good news from a far country. Proverbs
25:25

Note:
This article
corresponds to one chapter of the book in process, that will be dealing with the
main topic of "Giants (Neandertal or Neanderthal), DNA and the Bible”. The main
questions of that Book are: 1-) Does the Bible
characterize Neandertal-like beings? And the answer is YES; 2-) Are the
Neandertal an evolutionary "dead end,” or an "aborted product of evolution”, as
orthodox scientists may argue? And our answer is NO! (Neandertal were
stronger and even "more fit to survival” than ourselves! But in disregard of
that, they disappeared… or at least, they departed from our
view…) Thanks to reocities for saving it! : http://www.reocities.com/fdocc3/waterout.htm
