Did the writers of Genesis have outside help?

I correct post #76. Trump didn't teach you (Subduction Zone) how to twist words, you taught him !!

I am just guessing. If I am wrong please forgive me -

 

[Subduction Zone]

Yes, and in return I asked you to provide biblical verse evidence that states" the earth is flat"

Still waiting on that one -

It was discussed here. Perhaps you missed it. Isaiah 40:22 is one. If one reads the Bible literally one has to accept the Bible's claims in word and deed that the Earth is flat. That is only one of the "flat Earth verses".

Lying about others is against the rules at any well moderated forum. I suggest that you try to be honest.

Why go to the Mid Atlantic Ridge? That makes a huge engineering problem. There are many places on land where one could drill down..,.,.,.,.

You are missing the point. Drilling a 12" hole down thousands of feet will capture very little heat. On the other hand the sea water along this 1,000 mile long trench is 1,300 degrees. within a distance of several inches of water that is 35 degrees.

I seem to be mumbling off topic.

Only in rather specific areas and those areas keep changing. You are aware that the plates are moving apart from each other at roughly 4 inches per year. Those heat sources are not perpetual and they will keep shifting over time.

Not much better. But since you asked, yes you are wrong.

If you do not understand a post the proper action to take is to ask questions politely.

Those specific areas are large areas and we could help it along by removing some crust to expose more supper hot rock to continue to heat the seawater.

You are aware that the plates are moving apart from each other at roughly 4 inches per year..

That's great news. This exposes the seawater to more supper hot rock.

Yes Master, please forgive me -

And would mean that one would need to keep moving stations. The heat is not concentrated at the surface. Now you are proposing a massive mining project. There are simpler and easier ways to get energy. It might be feasible, but the big question is "Why?"

 

[james dixon]

I'm going to take my meds and then a short nap.

I hope to see/converse with you again.

May you and yours have a great day and beyond.

Perhaps.

Back to the energy question. To be able to recover energy not only must it be physically possible, it must also be economically feasible. If wind and solar power are orders of magnitude cheaper that would make your idea not feasible and therefore not really possible.

Your example that allegedly claims a verse stating the world is "flat" falls on it's flat face,

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Did you fail geometry too? Circles are flat. Worse yet if you go to the original Hebrew the word used is that for an inscribed circle, as with a compass. Those are always flat.

By the way when one reads the Bible literally this is what tends to happen to that person:

Subduction Zone,
What I was trying to calculate is how many electric windmills we would need to replace the oil we now use. Frankly this is way over my head but I have decided to post this here because I believe your intellect is up to the task if you choose to contemplate it. ~~~ I am hoping you do ~~~~~

World energy use in one year (2005):
Wind energy 369,553 MW
Oil energy 29,305,850,000 barrels of crude
_______

1 million barrels of oil = 73 GW

Worldwide there are now over two hundred thousand wind turbines operating, with a total nameplate capacity of 432 GW as of end 2015
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

1 windmill = often 34.5 kV,

200,000 windmills produce 432 GW

The gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion (109) watts or 1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts

1 million barrels of oil = 73 GW

What I am trying to get at is the number of windmills we would need to replace the energy we are now getting from oil.

Ok, I believe you because you said it & I do not want to upset you at this moment in time.

May you and yours live long and prosper -

For the moment I would like to set aside the $$$$ values and concentrate on the "energy" output
Ok -

Wow, I got a laugh out of that one, thanks

I will come back in 30 minutes. Hope you do too
