The above-linked article is interesting to me because it's the second time in a week that diamonds have cast doubt on doubts about the Bible.
(Last week the discovery of a type of Carbon in a diamond cast doubts on the timeline of life proposed by the Theory of Evolution.)
This week the discovery of water in a diamond casts doubt on the assertion that there isn't enough water in earth for a global flood.
One of my Facebook Friends ridiculed me when, a few weeks ago, I suggested the very same geological process described in the above-linked article (the process where water can be trapped or chemically bonded in rock and then later released from the rock).
But that very process is a process which some Evolutionists actually cite as a hypothesis for the origin of all the water on earth: the world's oceans were all formed out of the rocks in the earth, they propose.
Other Evolutionists propose that the water was instead delivered here by asteroids (without saying how the asteroids came to have water).
If so I wonder why the asteroids only brought water to earth and nowhere else in our solar system such as to Mars.
If one proposes that the asteroids did also bombard Mars and delivered water there but the water was not able to be retained by Mars because Mars didn't have an atmosphere like Earth had, then it should be remembered that Earth's atmosphere couldn't have been what it is before Earth had water.
Besides, the lack of an atmosphere around Mars should have made it more likely for water-bearing meteorites to make it to Mars' surface, not less likely.
And Mars' gravity ought to have retained any such water in its atmosphere, even if the water vaporised.
Mars is said to have formed and cooled at approximately the same time as Earth, according to Evolutionary cosmology. So at the time when asteroids were allegedly delivering oceans of water to Earth, conditions on Mars would not have been so different as to end-up with so much less water than Earth.
And why did the asteroids stop delivering water to Earth?
So if the existence of water on Earth is better explained by the geological process described in the linked-article rather than by the asteroid idea, then by the same process there may indeed be enough water in Earth for a global flood to have been possible.
And another thought: seeing the geological process is happening on Earth (according to the linked article), why isn't the same process evident on Mars?
Could it be that the reason oceans of water are possible on Earth is because God designed for it to be possible on Earth.
