Earth May Have Massive Subterranean Water Reservoir

The dinosaurs (most of the herbivores) lived on this planet for billions of years. There was rain.

No shit Sherlock.

I wasn't debating you. I was springboarding off of your comment to make a point.

I know I was just laughing at the obviousness of it all.

Water vapor is lighter than air, water droplets are more dense. Water vaporizes, rises, accumulates, and falls.

This process probably couldn't happen on Mars because there is no air for the vapor to float on.

On earth, as long as we had air and water we would also have rain, unless the air was significantly less dense, in which case humans or any other complex life form wouldn't be there.

This has to be the weirdest thread in DCC history.

Guess you can blame me. I just threw out a biblical record and it went from there. The reference by the way is as I stated. The recorded statements apparently don't set well with science according to some. What was God thinking doing something that defies logic.

Does the Bible say "there was no rain before the flood" or does it just not mention it raining?

 

[jeebs]

Just to be clear, have we debunked the claim : water + sun = rain because of physics and science and you can't argue that?

In Genesis it states (paraphrased) that God made the water to come from the ground to water things because he had not ever caused it to rain. The interpretations have taken that to mean that the great flood was in part caused by subterranean sources and God's command the cause it to rain from the sky. It may be simpler to Google something like what was the source of the great flood.

The I guess you have simultaneous debunked the Creator of those things.

No, because it's a fact. You can't debunk facts.

Itis not a fact, there are planets with H2O, a sun, and no rain. So Water + Sun = Rain is basically wrong.

What planets are those, Neil deGrasse Tyson?

Mars for one. Unless all the ancient surface water was siphoned off by aliens, it is still under the planet's crust. Yet, no precipitation. So, A Sun + Water =/= rain

Correct.

 

[jeebs]

Correct.

So a planet can have water, recieve sunlight, and not have rain? Interesting.

Not water on the surface, and it's a fact there were water-dwelling dinosaurs billions of years ago. Hence water on the surface, hence condensation due to radiation, hence rain. Get out my FACE.

Atmosphere has been the reason for rain, you left that out of your equation.
