  Evidence of Ocean of Water in or under Earth's Mantle.... Will people now state this to be proof of the Noah Account?

  "the transition zone can hold a lot of water, and could potentially have the same amount of h2o [water] as all the world's ocean.".

  i figured when people read this that there will be those claiming proof of the flood story.

  Yes, yes, the inevitable question: "how did the kangoroo cross the ocean?".

  Shirley, thanks for the link, it's bookmark material. The calculation's are actually pretty simple. You can't argue with Ken Ham though.

  I also hope somebody will finally calculate how much water was needed to fill up the Earth till the Mount Everest. They say there were no such high mountains before the flood but stating that a world wide flood made the Himalaya is just absurd.

  Such huge amount of water can't just disappear. Anyway, I'm just saying it's not that bloody simple as they might think.

  Laboratory studies have shown that the mineral can contain water, which isn't present as liquid, ice or vapor; instead, it is trapped in the ringwoodite's molecular structure as hydroxide ions (bonded oxygen and hydrogen atoms).

  As far as I know some creationists suggest that there was an entire layer of pure (by pure I mean: not component of another mineral) liquid (or solid) water that could have burst into the Earth's surface.

  The article doesn't support this view. Creationists - and other people who are trying their best to show sceintific evidence to support the flood story - should stop waiting for miracles to happen.

  hi, my apostate friends.. a couple of weeks ago i asked for some advice regarding studying methods.

  then some of you asked me to let you know my score after i take the exam at mineralogy.. i scored 90%.

  i'm pretty happy with it because the exams i take are not in my native language.. if i keep up with the good scores i might get a scholarship and then bye bye watchtower society.

  I'm open to UK, I like the way they talk English, I would like to develop british accent. I also like that climate.

  I've already done the research on emmigration to Canada. Luckily there is a need for petroleum engineers - that's my major - and having a year or two experience is also a good point. I read that there is also a program for those with permanent residency; they help them find a job and rent. It sounds quite impressive.

  Ahh, making plans is so much fun when you're mentally free. I can only imagine how my life would be if I hadn't find out TTATT.

  KateWild, I'm planning to visit the UK. Plane tickets are relatively cheap nowadays. Do you live in London?

  Hey, thank you.

  Stackinarut2, you might be surprised what other sins I have in my backpack :D

  Adjusted knowledge, I'm from Eastern Europe. Where are you from? (don't need to say exactly if you don't feel comfortable with it either)

  Ultimately everything I do now comes down to my final goal: to get a usefull degree and move to an English speaking country so that I can get rid of my jw past as much as it's possible = to live a normal life. So far everything goes according to my plans. I'm also getting some web projects to complete (I'm a freelancer webdesigner and developer). I feel I'm getting more and more independent. Life is good right now.

  Thank you everybody for your support. This is a priceless community.

  Hey, thanks for the replies. I'll use those methods, let's see how they work out for me. Snare&racket, I know that the main reason I'm procrastinating many times is because of the fear of failure. Thanks for the tips and for the encouragement. I know such students who are telling everyone how they didn't study anything and still scored high. It can be really annoying and demotivating sometimes.

  I'm having an exam in mineralogy in 20 days and need to learn 120+ pages of content. I've learned a part of it so far. I'm just curious how did you/do you study? I find maths, physics and chemistry easier to learn than other subjects. Mineralogy, even though it's based on core theories (i.e. plate tectonics) and rules I find harder to learn. Most of it is classification and memorizing names, chemical formulas and so on, nothing I could deduce by myself.

  How did you succeed learning such subjects? snare&racket how did you manage memorizing all those diseases and symptoms, descriptions etc ?

  Thanks in advance for the tips.
