Water would not remain liquid in space, because there is no pressure in space. There is an ambient temperature of ~2.3K in space, but an object's freezing temperature is dependant on pressure; what freezes at <2.3K on Earth would freeze at (almost) any temperature in space.
The amount of water only becomes significant if it is there is so much water that it condenses under it's own gravity, thereby generating heat. The starting temperature dictates how long the water takes to become ~2.3K, nothing more.
I think you are saying that you think that present space would not allow flood waters from earth to get to mars in water form? Or are you saying if there was a little ocean full, it probably would make it?
I'd beg to differ. I used to think that it was trivially true that things freeze in space. Clearly, it's not so trivial to some.
So, you used to think things froze in space, but it was not important. Now, you think they still would, but it is a little more important?
Assuming you mean a planet the size of Earth, then this body of water, if plonked in space, would rapidly freeze from the outside in. The core would remain liquid marginally longer than the outside, but not by much.
Well, the water used to cover the high mountains, which, some feel, was before the real high mountains came to be pushed up. So, say maybe cover the earth with water about 5000 feet high. That means that we take a lot of water away, to leave only the oceans full we now have, it woud seem.
His point is that this thread is pointless. You are trying to prove that the physical laws were different in the past, but, if they were different, then all of empiricism goes out the window, and you have no evidence to prove this change even took place.
Oh, I don't need to prove the change took place, any more than you need to prove it didn't! But he was saying the links were silly. I pointed out that 'ask a scientist', and the educational link I gave were not, seemingly what he was even talking about.
See, the evidence still exists, and needs explaining, and I think that a different past does a much better job, generally than your same past attempts.
If actual science, and physics, and evidence rule out water from earth getting say to Mars as water, then either the flood water went somewhere else, or space was different!
Since the universe was different, one would assume space was somewhat different, at least the laws at work there in the past.
I gave up long ago, having any hope anyone could defend a same past, so tapping expertise is just to rule out certain things here and there, more or less now.
