Somehow you are saying there was a mist but no clouds.... Impossible. Deposited water from the mist once exposed to heat from the sun, rises into the atmosphere where it condensates, forming clouds.

Fill a clear glass container with water. Put a pan full of ice over the top and heat the water till steam is formed. Observe what happens.

The only way there were no clouds nor rain is if there were no oceans.

Once you have bodies of standing water you have the: evaporate, condensate, precipitate cycle.

But you are assuming it was very hot or very cold. Your are assuming that species have not been allowed/caused by GOD to adapt. Everything isn't as it was and adaptation is not evolution. Species have a range of uniqueness programmed by God.



Sorry but you're talking nonsense again...

An adaptation in biology is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. An adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation.

If you have oceans and anything approaching the temperature range of what is habitable then you have the water cycle. You have rain, clouds, evaporation, etc. No way around it, it is inherent to the physical properties of water.

Also, are saying that the same god who created all of the species, declared it good, then rebuilt them after the flood? Anything to support that belief?

You may understand what is now the cycle; however, you do not know what once was or how it functioned. The creation after the Fall was no longer good. Only God is good presently.

Nipper, you are saying that before the fall the Earth was vastly different than it is now. Can you supply any evidence for such an assertion outside of the Bible?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Well, is there any evidence in the Bible that everything has remained the same? I would have to say that crater evidence is very strong for drastic environmental changes. You may accept a different time frame; however, most scientist now feel that an asteroid hit killed off the dinosaur and established the age of mammals.

Nipper you are talking a difference of 50 million years vs 8000. Any evidence for a vastly different climate and topology in the last 10k years?

Sorry, but I believe what has been calculated (through man's wisdom) to be 50 million years is only about 10 thousand at about the very best. Atheists need time or else God created. It cannot be both ways.

I feel like I'm in a third grade science class. Awkward!

Awkwardness isn't a bad thing.

Nipper, are you now saying the extinction of the dinosaurs occured in the last 10k years? Any support for that claim?

Evaporation does require heat other than a differAtion in temperature. That's why your ice cubes in the freezer disappear over time.
