You say: ""Science" as I see is what can be proved to happen by experimentation. For example pure water freezes at zero degrees Celsius or boils at a hundred degrees. Or the conservation of matter."

(1) I may be nit-picking, but "science" is literally "what is known," it has no bearing on origins (coming into being, "happening"). Scientific method is what is used in experimentation.

(2) It is curious that you use the example of water freezing and boiling. I cannot help but think that this was a jab at my interpretation. Though at sea level on earth, with almost 15 pounds of air pushing down per square inch, pure water indeed freezes and/or boils at given temperatures, water a mile deep most certainly does not freeze at 0 Celsius. And a mile high it boils quite a bit lower than than 100. The created sphere of water would have no atmosphere (apart from the Spirit of God) and the pressure of the sphere itself would far exceed a mile deep very quickly, providing its own heat.

However, I would be game to change the "deep" to "apparently liquid hydrogen" if you like. The "water" hypothesis fits wonderfully with sonoluminescence, but my remark about "stripping the molecules of their electrons" would work fine with hydrogen. God can use any building blocks he wants.

(3)  Again, I'm probably nit-picking, but it is the conservation of energy, not matter. Really, it's the energy-matter "continuum" that is dealt with in the "first law of thermodynamics.  The "conservation of mass" encompasses energy as well, since electrons have mass.  "Matter" as we know it is mostly protons and neutrons by mass, but from what I've read, scientists usually refer to the 1st Law -- and energy.

Well, I took almost an hour on this "short" response. And it is past my bedtime. I hope that these responses help you understand where I am coming from. And yes, I am prepared for challenges, and as the founder of this wiki I feel certain that it's usefullness will meet a need not met by other wikis.
