What, does god make bottles in his/her spare time then?
The amount of moisture Earth’s atmosphere can hold is very limited.
The amount of ice on Eurasia, North America (Glaciers form in South America but they are not massive), Greenland and Antarctica is inversely proportional to the sea level.
H2O is a solvent. Exposure will oxidize and corrupt almost everything including amino acids and proteins before they have any chance to bond together in exact order.
So for life to form by chance, it can’t be in water, or any oxygen rich atmosphere, amino acids must be left-handed for life on righty kills the organism. The variables are just too numerous and precise for random chance spontaneous life to generate.
Put an ice cube in a glass of water and let it melt. Does the water level go up or down?
The Earth could have had a canopy of water-ice (not Rita’s) as the 8th layer which collapsed during the Noahic Flood. Other planets in our solar system have ice layers in the atmosphere, so Earth could have at one time.
Subterranean water is believed to be nearly equal to the ocean water amounts. Geysers erupting when the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific Ridge and all the other crust openings would have spewed millions of cubic miles of water, heating the oceans enough to initiate the Ice Age.
It’s also required for them to bond in the first place to form organic molecules. I simply do not believe that it’s mathematically possible for life to arise from nothing. That first spark of life if nothing else probabilisticly requires a guiding hand.
At least half true but S. America has had massive glaciers during peak glacial periods and very big glaciers even in the last few hundred years.
Even currently there are some glaciers as large as most of the bigger glaciers in the CONUS.
Their biggest problem is that there is so much very cold water all along the west coast as well as along much of the coast on the east side. That severely limits available moisture for precipitation across much of the continent beyond the equatorial regions that benefit from the Atlantic storms.
It depends on the size of the glass. Usually such experiments fail because the glass is too small.
I sure hope you are being sarcastic.
The water level will always go down. Maximum density is achieved in the liquid state. Ice expands.
The same distance-related logistical problems to make feasible human transfer will still remain, whether the planet is called Mars or PSR B1620-26 c?
If an ice cube is floating freely, the water level remains the same. But people often put too much ice in a small glass, and in such a case, the water level goes up.
As for Ice Age glacials, the bulk of ice is on the Tibetan Plateau, in Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica etc., and the ice is not floating on the ocean.
All of those problems have already been solved. All that is left is building the ships and redeployment modules/robots to set up the first colony and have it up and running producing food, water and breathable air before they humans arrive.
A portion of the ice is always riding above the water line until it melts. Ice is less dense than water.
Well if you really do believe that, then I guess there’s no more to be said.
WoW! Some folks are not to well edumacated. Publik skuhls?
Ice will displace it’s mass in water which is the same mass in liquid form.
In Invader Zim it was spelled Skool.
Sorie. Irregardless [sic]
Though in all fairness, choosing your leaders by who is tallest seems like it might work better than our primary system.
Maybe go back to no political parties, the winner is POTUS the second place winner is VPOTUS
One of the lessons I’ve learnt in life is that ‘a closed mind cannot be opened’. There are none so deaf as those who will not listen.
