  1. Ya that “theory” (lol) was so dumb it was debunk by another creationist (an old world Creationist by the name of Glenn Morton) who wrote in part (thats all it takes though, just part, because Walt’s “theory” was really that retarded)-

    Brown has a 10 km thick granite crust with a 1 km thick layer of water. The pressure is enough to raise a tube of water to 17 km (see Brown, pg. 37, Fountains of the Deep). Water squirting up out of the hole will rise to that level. What is the velocity of the water coming out of the crack? Ignoring friction, this can be found by equating the potential energy of the drops at 17 km to the kinetic energy at the surface needed to propel the water that high. Thus:

    gh = .5v^2

    where:

    h is the height of the water, 17 km

    v is the velocity

    g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8

    Solving for v, we have v = 577 meters /sec. According to the steam table cited below, there is a 814 times increase of volume in the phase change. The vapor occupies 814 times more volume.

    Now, According to Steam Tables (Combustion Engineering Inc., 1940), the pressure needed to keep water a liquid at 250º F, which is the temperature of Brown’s water, is 2.02 atmospheres.

    Consider a 1 square meter tube with 577 cubic m/s emanating from it. Due to the fact that 2.02 atmosphere is the weight of 20 meters of water, water coming up the crack will not change to steam until the final 20 meters. With the velocity of 577 meters per second coming out of the crack, this means that 577 cubic meters each second will occupy 814 times the volume that it used to. As a water surface passes the point at which it turns into vapor, it will, within one second, be pushed 577 x 814 = 469,779 m. This is a velocity of 469 kilometers per second. There would be no flood since none of the vapor would remain on the earth. The earth’s escape velocity is about 11 kilometers per second. Any object that exceeds 11 km per second leaves the earth and never returns. How could this theory cause a flood?

    In reality these numbers would be somewhat smaller due to frictional effects, but even if they are off by 99%, the steam escaping is still above escape velocity for the earth. The steam would be sent to Alpha Centauri!!”

    If you can’t tell right off the bat why this “theory” (doubt subby even knows what a theory is) fails outright in every other area it makes claim to, you need to pick up a physics, chemistry, and geology book.

  2. Douglass,

    You betray yourself with the little jabs and pokes. You also speak as though Walt is dead…He is actually alive and still working. If you have legitmate scientific feedback he will take in under consideration. He is a scientist and not simply an idealogue.

    Thanks for the comments.

  3. are we on the playground? keep the snide remarks for your kkk meetings and let the true science prevail, “douglass”
