Answers in Genesis say Crystalline Canopy debunked?
Page updated: Sunday, March 23, 2008
You can read about the basics for the Crystalline Canopy here: Creation in detail It's a few pages long, so make sure to click next at the bottom of each page. What AIG has to say about it: http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/tools/flood-waters.asp It's about halfway down the page.
Here's a list of links where evolutionist, atheist and OEC use AIG info to promote their agenda:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/whatbau.html Seems funny how this site uses so much of AIG's info.
http://paleo.cc/paluxy/whatbau.htm This site popped up again.

http://www.iidb.org/vbb/archive/index.php/t-63502.html Here we see AIG used by atheist to debunk a creation debate.
And the list of evolutionist and atheist who use AIG info to promote their views, just goes on and on.
Most creationists agree that the earth was covered with water, with land underneath, before it was anything else (God never created the land, the water receded so the land could appear. So it was already there.). This is because of the way things are worded in the word of God. But what most creationist miss is what happens to water when it is exposed to temps below freezing. In this case, the absolute zero of space . You see, no atmosphere for the earth has been made yet. So the water is exposed to space and begins to freeze. But this is not the end of it. Being exposed to space also poses the vacuum of space. Did you know that water will boil at room tempature in space? But only the part closes to space freezes because God has to have the extra water receded into the ground before He can continue with the rest of creation as shown below.

Even the works of Josephus agrees with this. So AIG, is Josephus wrong about this too?

| The canopy wobble: This is just a theory of mine.... Because the sun would pull upon the crystalline canopy. It would wobble while the canopy rotated around the earth. In order to do this, the air from the night side would have to rush to the day side. This caused a pump like effect and because of the changes in Barometric pressure. In the morning, as the canopy was being pulled away from that section of the earth, the barometric pressure would drop a little. This would allow water from the ground to flow out of the ground, and water the plants just like God's word says. The air in the evening would be squeezed a little because the canopy is being pulled closer to the earth. This would also make the air circulate enough around the earth, to keep the temps, even in the poles, most livable for almost any life. Sure it was cold in the poles. but not sub zero. End of theory, now to continue with the canopy theory below. |
God creates light on the very same day to stop the freezing process after the outer part is frozen. When the water recedes, it leaves the earth surrounded by a globe of crystallized ice that is in space on the very outer part of our atmosphere. In fact, our atmosphere butts up against it and helps support it being there. But that is not the only thing that helps it stay up there. Water can be magnetized . Which would help it hold together at the molecule level. And because it was made mainly of hydrogen gas that was transformed into a cystalline metallic, the canopy was a superconductor.

The superconductivity of the canopy, allowed it to be suspended above the earth just like those magnets in that pic above.

If water boils at room temps in a vacuum, at what temperture does it freeze in a vacuum? Also notice that the freezing and boiling point of hydrogen is very close to the absolute zero temps of space (-460 degrees Fahrenheit). But also remember that this temp for boiling and freezing is at one atmosphere (14 psi). So if the point of water is lowered to meet the boiling point of hydrogen. What will happen? So somewhere in the middle of the water that surrounded the earth. Where the water itself is supplying the pressure (like atmospheric pressure) due to it's own weight from the pull of gravity. Both oxygen and hydrogen (what makes up water) are boiling during creation.
Then we have very little gravity in space close to the earth. And because time was created on the very first day, the earth was already in rotation, which means the canopy rotated as well. The rotation not only helped support the canopy, but never let it get warmed up enough to melt either. The rotation worked much like a satellite stays in orbit. The canopy rotation was fast enough to hold a obit. but also slow enough to apply enough pressure on our atmosphere to double the barometric pressure.
Why else would God start the earth off as a sphere of water, and expose it to the absolute zero temp of space, unless there is a reason for it? God could have started with the water already receded and ready for creation of life. God does not do something for no reason.
The canopy also creates a higher barometric pressure than we have now. It was estimated to be twice (around 60 (28 psi), instead of 30 (14 psi) because of the extra pressure caused by the canopy) the pressure we have today. This would also explain two things explained in the word of God:
1) Why there was no rain before the flood. The barometric pressure has to drop in order for rain clouds to form.
2) How there was moisture that came from the ground that water the plants every morning. We have what's called a dew point: The dew point temperature is the temperature to which the air must be cooled to reach saturation (assuming air pressure remains the same). The certain temperature at which dew begins to form and water vapor changes to liquid form. It is when humidity reaches 100%, and the barometric pressure and temperature of the air are the same. With the extra barometric pressure of the canopy, this would happen every morning causing a dew point (moisture) at ground level. Which would cause enough moisture to form to water the plants.
Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. |

The extreme pressure in a spring forces more oxygen in with the water and gives it the blue look you see here. As the water moves away from the opening of the spring, it releases the oxygen into the surrounding air because there is not enough pressure on the surface to hold the extra oxygen in the water. Upon releasing this oxygen, it loses it's blue tint look as seen as the water flows past the ladder in the above pic. The pic below is of liquid oxygen. Notice it is blue in color. So more oxygen content in water is going to turn it what color? The color of liquid oxygen (blue) of course.

And this poses a problem for the evolution theory of a nearly no oxygen earth. If there is a nearly no oxygen early earth, where did this highly oxygenated water come from? Where did the free oxygen to oxygenate the water come from? What natural process does this happen in nature? The creation model answer:
1) The creation was with highly oxygenated water.
2) The extra pressure from the canopy held this extra oxygen molecule in place in the water.
3) The flood stored this highly oxygenated water underground.
4) And because the flood was world wide, is the reason we have springs all over the world that release this highly oxygenated water (which disproves a local flood).
What else does extra oxygen in our atmosphere and water explain? How people back then lived so long. You see, extra oxygen has been found to make the body self healing. Hospitals are currently documenting the healing effects of oxygen therapy using HBOT machines. Different teams in professional sports now use HBOT. Why? Read below.

Is there any other evidence for a higher oxygen past?

Things being caught in amber is like a snapshot of that time era. And it's not only insects that get trapped, as this snapshot shows. Air (atmosphere conditions) from that time era as well. But there's one problem. Not one air bubbled trapped in amber, has been found, that is not "very rich" in oxygen. Evolutionist explainations for this?
1) All amber is fake,
2) Because plants produce amber, and produce oxygen. It would only be natural there would be extra oxygen in the air bubbles.
Calling everything fake just because it does not support the evolutionist view is a common tactic. They don't test said amber to be fake, they just say it's fake. And as far as the second response. They would first have to prove that amber itself, can produce oxygen. And if so, the amber should have been full of air bubbles. And have they done this? Of course not. Why? Because to test evidence they say is debunked already, is to have to own up to showing if it's actually true. As one evolutionist said: Science doesn't deal in truth, philosophy does. These are just a few examples of lame excuses evolutionist use to make their grandest theory look like a true fact.
