...set up front in class, as I was a troublemaker.. Our 5th grade teacher had this ‘ask anything’ day. So I asked why (the giant map in front of my face) the world map shows that all ‘the pieces’ would fit if pushed together. ...though she’d gone into detail about the origin of curse words, for example, she stated, “The school district doesn't allow us to discuss the latest theories, yet.” “But I can say there is a growing number of scientists who believe earth's continents have moved.” Makes me feel as though I was schooled in the stone age 😉 Thank you Mrs Powell - she retired the following year, but ya never forget the good ones ~

Yup, the earth moves under my feet.

PeterJohn, I've got a science question I don't know who to ask. You seem like the science guy so I'd appreciate if you know. I have a koi pond. Sometimes I clean out the algae and change out most of the water. I'm on well water. I worry that the water doesn't have any excess oxygen since it just came from 100 feet under ground. Where does the oxygen come from that my fish use? When I aerate how does that change the chemistry? If the fish use the oxygen in the H2O it would release the hydrogen. I know this must sound nutty but it's driving me crazy. Much appreciated.

Tale is a strange wording. Scientific probability seems better suited. Tale makes it seem as relatively as possible as a great flood, stolen by the Israelites from other sources, such as Gilgimesh.

Wow you have hit it on the nail,Ibelieve also that the Moses story and Noah's flood originally came from the tales of Gilgamesh.I just used tale for my non Athiest friends.
