If you’re an adult (or at least resemble one in physical size and stature) you probably already know we live on a very watery planet. In fact, by most estimates, Earth is about 70% covered in water. That’s almost three-fourths! And that means only about one fourth of the planet is made of something you can walk around on. Unless you’re Jesus who can walk on water.
So how did our planet get so watered down?
Evolution (which is a lie) says our planet was formed from a swirling cloud of dust and gas. But if that’s the case, then almost no water should be found “within 5 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. (1 AU is the average Earth-Sun distance.)” as Dr. Walt Brown described it. That’s because the sun would have been able to vaporize it. And solar winds would send it to the four corners of the universe (my completely unique description).
And yet, you can’t deny that we have a ginormous amount of water on our little, blue planet.
But where did so much water come from?
Well, how ’bout we refer to Dr. Walt Brown again. He came up with the most viable explanation you’re gonna find. He calls it the “hydroplate theory”. Here’s a great video to help explain it (it’s long, so make some popcorn and enjoy).
Dr. Brown doesn’t walk on water.
But his research and body of work are mighty convincing to me. I highly recommend his book, In The Beginning. Especially if you homeschool or just want your family to have access to real science.
And don’t take my word for it. Or even the word of scientists. Test the evidence. See where it leads. Let it take you to truth. And my guess is, that’ll take you to THE Truth. In the case of the hydroplate theory, it’s the watered down Truth. Am I uncouth for saying so?
