I'd never realized that heat is equivilant to pressure. I know from Boyl's gas law that pressure can cause heat, and the other way around, but if they were equivelant, My fingers would implode each time I make myself a snowball!
Oh, and I stand by one of the earlier comments that by definition, water is wet when it is covered with a liquid (i.e. water) and not otherwise. Therefore the water on the BOTTOM of the glass is wet, though on the TOP of the glass it is not wet.
Therefore, if you pour water ONTO water, the poured water is not wet (until it gets submerged) and the affected water BECOMES wet (unless it bobs back up to the surface in which case it is no longer wet).
As for oxygen, there's also oxygen in water. Therefore water burns. It happens every time there's an oil rig fire so I am right. Q.E.D.

Reps: 77,294 (power: 92) | | | In response to the OP, there are now 19 pages of YECs and 20 pages of the other theories, ALL of which require an old Earth. I think it is significant that the OECs are ABLE to come up with varied theories to fit with the scientific evidence. Not that ANY of that is proof. And now back to our more productive discussion...

If I agree with the opinions expressed on this website, why didn't someone bother to tell me sooner? |

Please be quiet, sir. When your opinion is needed, one will be provided for you.

Reps: 124 (power: 0) | | | Personally, I think you are all wrong. Whether water is wet lies outside possible human comprehension. Water lies outside the natural relm. All who attempt to rationalize water fall into a pit of ignorance. We should all worship water for its supernatural attributes. You think god is all powerful, but since when can god form hydrogen bonds? Or apply to adhesion? Does god increase in volume when frozen? Does he boil at 100 degrees celcius at STP? Is god polar? Does god take the shape of his container?
I think we all should take a moment of silence for this mighty molecule of water...

Reps: 59 (power: 0) | | This ABC News Poll indicates that the majority of Americans believe literally in the Bible. They randomly sampled 1011 Americans by phone in early Feb. http://abcnews.go.com/images/pdf/947...oftheBible.pdf
Do you believe it?

As a Catholic it is my duty to preserve life.

Some things are better off dead. The "Is dry ice made out of water" and "Is water wet" thread deserves to die. |

Reps: 37 (power: 0) | | | There are more credulists that evolutionists in Alabama, most of whom think "fossil" means "grandparent". So what - that "disproves" evolution?
BTW Have you counted the number of Muslims in the world compared to Christians?
