Water in Outer Space

In the morning of June 30, 1908, a fantastic explosion occured in central Siberia... Witnesses described an enormous meteoric bolide visible in the sky for a few seconds. Other witnesses from a distance of 60 kilometers (36 miles) from the point of impact were knocked over... Seismic shocks were registered over the whole world... this event was due to the collision with the earth of a block of ice weighing 30,000 tons which... released energy equivalent to that of a thermonuclear bomb of 12 megatons.

The latest scientific research revealed that tremendous amounts of ice also exist at the outer edge of our solar system. Astronomers now believe that there is a vast region of space at the edge of our solar system that holds perhaps a trillion large comets composed of ice and rock. Each large comet is believed to contain up to one trillion tons of ice. The vast amount of water in the earth’s oceans is a small fraction of the quantities of water that exist in the "firmament above," as reported in the Genesis passage. Another passage in Job also refers to the ice and frost found in the Heavens:

Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of Heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. Canst thou bind the influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:28-31).
