Science, Creation & EvolutionHeard of this book?What counts is not the length of time the bullets are fired but the area in in area over which they are sprayed at distance X. Your scenario would involve far more area, thus require far more bullets. As noted above, such a scenario would involve many more bullets fired that have no chance whatsoever of hitting the target. I was trying to be conservative. Your scenario is less so. What Brown does not tell you is that in order for even a tiny fraction of the water and rock ejected from earth to hit Mercury and produce the space debris orbiting the sun, the earth would have to be many times its present size. This is because most of the material ejected into space that did not fall back to earth would either fall into the sun (almost all) or be ejected from the solar system (a relative small amount that would require huge amounts of energy). Only a tiny amount of that material would hit Mercury or achieve stable orbits around the sun. Thus, Brown's hypothesis would require a pre-flood earth many times larger than the present earth. More than that, Brown's hypothesis suffers from at least three additional problems. One is that as pressure from overlying rock forced water to squirt out cracks in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans the crack width would increase as rock from ths sides of the cracks were flung into space. As the cracks widened a given amount of force would result in more water and rock being squirted upward but at at diminishing velocity. Unless the underground reservoirs ran out of water first, the last of the water would not reach escape velocity. Since water under pressure 10 miles or so down would be extremely hot, all that hot water falling back to earth would cook everything on earth including Noah. The third problem is theological rather than physical. The pre-flood earth of Brown's hypothesis would be inherently unstable. If nothing else, just the flex caused by the daily tides would eventually cause it to crack. No matter what humans did, the earth would have been predestined to crack open and spill its contents. This implies that even in the days of creation, God intended to eventually drown all the humans on earth no matter what they did, that no matter how good they were they would still be too evil to satisfy God. . Something you seem not to understand is that real astronauts do not behave like Buck Rogers or Captain Kirk. The US government puts highly educated, highly trained, highly disciplined people into space, not impulsive cowboys. Doc |
