Springs of the Deep

Have you noticed that the more science digs into things...the more it seems to confirm what the Bible has said all along?

A few days ago, scientists came out with some NEW and BIG news that they believe there are literally OCEANS OF WATER way down deep in the earth.

Of course this is NEWS to these people and it was all over the front pages of news services like Google and Yahoo.

Scientists Find Evidence For Oceans Of Water Far Below Earth’s Crust

A group of researchers have discovered evidence for oceans' worth of water deep beneath the U.S., which, according to them, could represent the largest water reservoir on Earth.

The researchers have found the ingredients for water in rocks deep in the Earth’s mantle nearly 400 miles beneath North America, suggesting that water, driven from the Earth’s surface by plate tectonics, could be there at such depths. The findings, published in the journal Science on Friday, are expected to help scientists better understand the Earth’s formation and its current composition, and to reveal the amount of water buried deep below.

“Geological processes on the Earth’s surface, such as earthquakes or erupting volcanoes, are an expression of what is going on inside the Earth, out of our sight,” Steve Jacobsen, a geophysicist at the Northwestern University in Illinois and the study’s co-author, said in a statement. “I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades.”

According to Jacobsen and the University of New Mexico seismologist Brandon Schmandt, they have “direct evidence” that a rocky layer of the Earth’s mantle -- known as “transition zone” -- located at depths between 250 miles and 410 miles has water trapped in it on a regional scale, extending across most of the interior of the U.S.

If you go on to read the rest of the article you will find that most of that water isn't just sloshing around in some huge underground cave....but is trapped in the rocks and minerals under enormous pressure.

Nonetheless, let's remember what the Bible says;

Genesis 7
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 8
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

Yep, the Bible has said all along there are SPRINGS OF THE DEEP that hold enormous amounts of water!!  In fact so much water that when they were let forth they covered the mountains of the world!

Could it be that science is just now continuing to catch up to what God's Word has said all along?

Hmmmm.....
