Pondering Earth and Enceladus, Life and the Waters Above and Below

The Bluest Blue in Our Universe

In the unique satellite video above are portions that describe the Beautiful  Blue E ring of Saturn that stands out from the other rings. Some have even described this ring as having, 

"The Bluest Blue in the Universe."

This ring was created by the massive volume of steam and water being released from a very unique moon, Enceladus. A volcanic moon with waters above in the form of an ice shell, likely at or above our cumulus cloud level, high over the surface of the waters below.

This ice shell effectively traps most of the heat and moisture from the volcanic activities below the sea bed. Except for the many vents spouting hundreds of miles into space to create the deep blue trail that constantly replenishes the Blue of the E ring at Enceladus' orbit.

This moon has water covering it's inner surface similar to the description of earth as described in Genesis 1:2 

 ... and the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.... 

Perhaps the original ice that formed on Enceladus floated directly on her ocean surfaces like the ice sheets here on earth at our poles. But with the creation of a continuous shell that covered the whole sea surface, over time a spherical ice dome formed. This dome has a significant  compression strength, much like the strength of a bird's egg or on the half scale, an igloo.

When we consider a spherical ice dome formed with it's compression strength, we realize that this rigid dome of frozen water could also, appear to float, as it remained in gravitational balance even as the buoyancy support from the water below is removed. Removed by the recession of the sea as the water supply below is being vaporized and expelled hundreds of miles into space to create the Beautiful Blue E Ring. 

Describing earth,  Genesis 1:7  states,  "God made the expanse, and separated the waters that were below the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse... 

If something like this occurred here on earth, the design would have created a global greenhouse effect across our entire planet. A greenhouse of lush plant and animal life that was not dependent on local climate conditions. Leaving a more uniform global biomass like the one we are discovering today, capable of producing vast amounts of methane, like the methane being released from our thawing tundra and glacial ice caps.

Again in, Genesis 2:5...  Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth,... but a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface... 

Consider the effects of our earth's early biomass that we are just now discovering. A hidden biomass of unknown quantity that is beginning to decay with the changes we are currently seeing.






review of what was found on Saturn's Moon Enceladus from NASA. 


Perhaps someday, if we send another expedition to this moon we could also search for missing evolutionary links. Like the ones that our scientist's so desperately seek here. Illusive lifeforms, that should greatly outnumber the, "clearly defined kinds," we see based on the logic of evolutionary progress. Intermediates that have eluded discovery for about a century now. 

But the more likely outcome will be, either another lifeless environment, or a vast array of unique and amazing, fully formed, functioning creations. Creations that present amazing built in abilities for adaptation and change. Creatures easily grouped into categories that do not loose their original distinctions over time. Creatures organized much like the creatures we find around us on this planet. 

Consider the amazing ability of the creatures below to both adapt and maintain their recognizable identities.

But until these suppositions are finally proven, we are stuck. 

We can either say we don't know, and admit to our lack of pertinent critical knowledge and the limitations of testable methods needed to form a comprehensive understanding, or we can make professions of faith.

We can profess to a faith in the presuppositions of evolutionary theory ignoring these contradictions and the gaps in evidence. Or we can profess to a faith in a more intentional order like the order we see in the creation account.  

And just one more thought about Enceladus...

If our universe is currently billions of years old. Why and how can massive amounts of water still be expelled from hundreds of vents  each with plumes extending hundreds of miles into space? 

Enough liquid to maintain the Beautiful Blue E Ring of Saturn?

And how long can it possibly continue? 

I suppose only God knows.

Waters above and waters below and a dew that covered the whole earth, in the two most likely places for life to occur according to religion and science.


Just some ponderings, hope you enjoyed.🙂


And an update in closing, here are some more interesting discoveries about our Earth's Core, as ocean floor materials are found near it's center, and another video on what the Cassini Probe found and what is planned for expeditions in the near future.

Earth's Core Appears to Be Wrapped in an Unexpected, Ancient Structure

NATURE

See Article at:

From the Aticle...

"Analyzing [thousands] of seismic recordings from Antarctica, our high-definition imaging method found thin anomalous zones of material at the CMB everywhere we probed," says geophysicist Edward Garnero from Arizona State University.

"The material's thickness varies from a few kilometers to [tens] of kilometers. This suggests we are seeing mountains on the core, in some places up to five times taller than Mt. Everest."

According to the researchers, these ULVZs are most likely oceanic crust buried over millions of years.

While the sunken crust isn't close to recognized subduction zones on the surface – zones where shifting tectonic plates push the rock down into Earth's interior – simulations reported in the study show how convection currents could have shifted the ancient ocean floor to its current resting place.



It's tricky to make assumptions about rock types and movement based on seismic wave movement, and the researchers aren't ruling out other options. However, the ocean floor hypothesis seems the most likely explanation for these ULVZs right now.


So in pondering...

Could the collapse of an orbiting extra-global ice shell cause portions, each unbelievably huge, possibly even larger than the Pangea Supercontinent to crash into the earth? 

Could their crash into the ocean sea floor have enough force to push the skin of the earths crust down into the mantle and even pull the continents toward their current positions?

Ice Sheet Impacts into Ocean Floors

Amazing thought! Most attribute it to a collision that resulted in the creation of the moon.

But would an ice shell crashing event also cause unbelievable extremes in flooding and severe climate change like those described in Biblical accounts? And cooling as the ice melted and swelled the existing seas.

Wouldn't a global change in the earth's climate status from a uniform canopy climate to an open sky weather climate flash freeze and burry the vegetation and animal life in these newly exposed polar areas due to  our earth's regional weather extremes, creating the ice caps and the extensive areas of frozen tundra over the once thriving vegetation?

And finally; if this unimaginable flooding event occurred, how could the massive volumes of water recede from the earth's flooded surface?  Could it be absorbed into the earth and if so; Where did it go? Consider the model and videos below.

And the reabsorption of the waters?
Where could it have gone?

From across the globe there is a vast array of stories that describe a catastrophic flood event. Labeled myths, most describe local affects on specific leaders and losses experienced by specific people groups, or even accounts of specific god personalities and conflicts in their cultures. The following link provides many examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd6I1T9efNo


In contrast, the Biblical faiths, present a global catastrophic event affecting all living thing on the planet. This is reflected in the brief video below.

I hope that you have enjoyed pondering these questions with me.

Although I am not an expert on most of these topics, I take great joy in discovery, and am encourage with questioning, wonder and exploring possibilities. Although very conservative in my life and choices. I am rarely content with blindly accepting narratives or hard information without asking questions. And I encourage you to find delight in doing the same.
