Gotta luv true science, per, ahem, cough cough, Genesis ch. 1, where the water is laid out in lavender.
Rest assured though, they who guess at gallon work should be embarrassed if they IGNORE the root of water in the first place.
Can you imagine 40 days and nights of…….

Oh boo hoo! California gets a little rain and it’s Noah’s flood all over again.

While that is true, I’m drawing attention to the fact that the canopy of waters suspended above earth, was obviously broken later, ie, clouds are proof, but does any one really bother to think about such things?
There is actually more true science in scripture than most believers even care to ponder. Atheists have an excuse, willful blindness, we do not.

Great Lion, The Bible is revelation from God. Science is man’s quest to understand God’s creation.
In science and mathematics we get an idea that God’s thoughts are not man’s thoughts.

Sorry S/ science cannot explain how there is oceans of water ABOVE earth, WITHOUT Genesis.

Great Lion, Where did the water from Earth’s oceans come from if not the sky? For the Earth is but the 3rd rock from the Sun.

Well S, it appears the waters above are not/ were not the oceans….
I’m pretty sure scripture agrees per the maker of water .

Colorstorm, the latest buzzword is now, “atmospheric rivers.” The language is downright amusing, apparently these rivers are raging over head like a great threat, prepared to pour their wrath upon us, and spill forth like the banks of the mighty Mississippi. (This language gets somewhat tiresome for those of us who live in a really rainy place. Ca which contains a lot of desert, can’t cope with much rainfall, but up here we live on a sponge. Rain is not breaking news.)
Also, this is really nothing new. Alas, some people are so misled they fear these “atmospheric rivers” are a new thing and due to climate change. Not true at all, the only “new” part is the language and all the melodrama spilling forth. It really is just science as in, “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.”
Something I find so incredible is how does the Bible know? There is a ton of science in there and yet it was all written long before we discovered any of these things.

Great observations msb/ change the language/ divert from what is obvious/ ‘ pregnant people……’
But what galls me most are believers who accept atheistic science as gospel, just because it is mainstream, popular etc.
As you said, there is a ‘ton’ of science’ in scripture if we pay attention, surely the Creator was aware of how His creation would be whitewashed- how His handiwork would be considered nothing more than random serendipity-
But back to earth here- can you fathom( ha) water deeper than Mt Everest? Yeah, we should be so embarrassed at our nonchalance.

I find this verse very interesting.
The waters came from both below and above. No one knows how that worked.

While it is true we do not know exactly, because we were not there, it seems we do have evidence today still.
Clouds. Rain water. Above our heads. Acting like a canopy that was then, unbroken as it were, seeming there were floods of water suspended above- with the light of the sun filtering through the water, prob looking like a view from an ocean dive ten feet under water looking up.
If we are to believe God who cannot lie, we may not understand in full, but we are called to believe what He said. And btw, Genesis 1 is the foundation for all science; this is why atheists despise scripture.

Well, I agree with you that the Bible is foundational to science, but perhaps not for the same reason. Starting with Genesis, the Bible shows that God is not the author of confusion. He does things in a very orderly manner. Therefore, it is worth our trouble to discover how our Lord has ordered what he created.
What science involves is modeling, using mathematics if we can, the cause-and-effect relationships we find in what God has created. After we have done that, engineers can apply those models and build things that work in a predicable fashion.
