1 | Simple analogy to understand the Trinity | 2 Cor 13:14 | Rowdy | 120877 | ||
I'm not a scientifically inclined person by any stretch but I do appreciate knowing this additional information about water. I thought I would also remind everyone of the obvious and that is that water covers up about 78 percent of this planet's surface AND it's one of the only natural elements that upon freezing is lighter than it natural liquid state. Isn't it wonderful that our Lord created our world with all these characteristics of water AND chose this same substance to be symbolic to the burial of His Son for us as christians in baptism? Kinda neat, huh? I think so. Science is a wonderful thing and God bless. --Rowdy |

2 | Simple analogy to understand the Trinity | 2 Cor 13:14 | Sir Pent | 120964 | ||
Personal Note......................................................... Hi Rowdy, Your mention of water being lighter (less dense) as a solid than a liquid reminded me of a post that I wrote a long time ago on this forum. If you're interested, just type the number 22371 into the "Quick Search" box at the top right corner of the screen. |

3 | Simple analogy to understand the Trinity | 2 Cor 13:14 | Rowdy | 120977 | ||
Sir Pent, I have to agree. It does give one some concern to spell out your name BUT I've never been one to be superstitous. So God will protect me and I'm praying He'll protect you from the implications of such a name. I guess I have to pray for the same thing concerning my own nickname. Now on to the discussion at hand. Isn't the water's ability to do this floating in ice form somehow related to how the molecules expand and trap the oxygen inside making it lighter than the water underneath? I'm probably all mixed up since I don't know my science very well. I'm just glad it works that in God's creation. Amen? God bless. --Rowdy |

Science Lesson....................................................... Hi Rowdy, If you are thinking of Oxygen as a gas and that Ice has little bubbles of gas trapped inside making it less dense, that is not correct. The lower density of ice relative to liquid water is actually due to hydrogen bonds. As the water gets cold enough, the molecules slow down enough that these hydrogen bonds cease to be broken creating a latice structure that spaces the molecules farther apart than they normally are. This is what causes the density to decrease. However, as the Hydrogen atoms create their lattice structure, they do indeed surround the Oxygen atoms. So in a way you are correct after all. If you would like more information, a relatively simple explanation can be found at http://wow.nrri.umn.edu/wow/student/water/unique.html |

Thanks a million. It's good that you're able to explain this highly technical and scientific process in common terms understandable by us laymen. God bless, dear friend. --Rowdy |
