Did-u-know there are small comets striking the earth every day? All comets are made up of ice and dirt, or mineral particles. The visible tail that comets are famous for, are actually the ice being burnt off as it approaches the sun. Walt Brown states in his book, In the Beginning , photographs, taken from earth orbiting satellites, show small comets striking the earth's upper atmosphere at an average rate of 1 every 3 seconds. Each of these comets is about the size of a house and adds 20 – 40 tons of water into the atmosphere. If this has been going on since the evolutionary beginning of the earth, which is 4.5 billion years, all water in the oceans could be accounted for. The problem with this is, the water coming from these comets have “heavy” hydrogen in it. Most of the water in the ocean does not contain “heavy” hydrogen, therefore, the ocean has to be much younger than evolutionists claim. Common sense would imply that there would be fewer comets entering the atmosphere now than there were several thousand years ago, because the sun and all of the planets continue to sweep the comets from space by gravitational forces every time they come into out solar system. Here is another reason to believe in a literal 6 day creation week.
