Earth Sciences & Geology - June 2007

I read a few years ago, that they were going to drill to the surface of the underground lake in Antartica to take samples of the water, hoping to find million years old bacterial life forms.
I've also read that they found some living in ice sheet above the lakes, but does anything has been found so far?? Also the Russian were said to be the first ones to drill but contamination concerns have stopped the drilling...

Ocean water is salt water, but I mean i know its not just simply sodium chloride and H2O mixed, so what is the different stuff in ocean water anyway and besides the H2O what is ingredients are most prevalent in the ocean water.

So there was this tv commercial on how water from the ocean can be desalinated. I thought that was old technology? The commercial made it seem all new and stuff

If everything has been evolving for millions of years, then according to the thoery of evolution everything should have evolved into the same species by now. This is just one more piece of evidence that blows away the thoery of evolution.

I have designed a tsunami protector that would protect everything behind it and there's no backlash when a tsunami hits. its almost invisible except up close so no- one runs into it. when installed each countries land will be expanded, in otherwards your beaches will extend out further. this will help each country from being swallowed up by the melting of the glaciers and the riseing of salt water. I havent patented it yet, that will depend on whether my country the United States of America is interested in saveing Americans and how many orders I recieve from other countries. comlone@msn.com.

It just dawned on me that a world with a salty ocean and non-salty inland lakes can never have been completely submerged in water, like the Genesis account tells us. In fact, the global flood hypothesis makes a testable, falsifiable prediction: the salt levels in all standing bodies of water should be similar. Here's why:

Imagine a world with a salty ocean and non-salty inland lakes. Now, the water rises to cover all land, which removes all boundaries between the bodies of water and connects them all. A fish, for instance, would be able to swim from any point on earth to any other. More to the point, any salt in the salty oceans would, by natural physical laws of diffusion, begin to spread into this world sea. In addition, thermal currents and other "mixing" effects would accelerate the process. 40 days and 40 nights would be plenty of time to gain an equilibrium - all salt levels would be the same, everywhere.

When the waters receded back, whatever was left behind, whether in the ocean or in the inland lakes, would be equally salty. Salt doesn't evaporate, so where is it? It isn't there. The global flood hypothesis is falsified. QED.

I need people to help me out with these questions

1.)Bacteria can evolve into two every 20 minutes, this enables them to evolve very rapidly...explain why?

2.)In order for organisms to become fossilised, sediments must cover their body parts, explain why?

3.) Explain why, as a general rule, deeper rock layers are older than ones nearer to the surface.

4.) Suggest why younger rocks contain fossils of organisms which are similar to those still living today?
