Re: [asa] moon dust

It seems to me that a miraculous account for the production and disposal
of the water for a global flood, should be just that. Don't bother with
a comet to suck out 10**17 pounds of water, God could simply create and
destroy the quantity of water needed without any serious side effects
like energy consumption or production and no momentum affects... I
doubt that the people of the day would have been able to tell the
difference due to the lack of scientific knowledge and instrumentation
as God could easily arrange for the action to be hidden.

Just to be clear I do not suggest that their was a global flood.
