Huge Reservoir Discovered Beneath Asia 273
anthemaniac writes "Seismic observations reveal a huge reservoir of water in Earth's mantle beneath Asia. It's actually rock saturated with water, but it's an ocean's worth of water ... as much as is in the whole Arctic Ocean. How did it get there? A slab of water-laden crust sank, and the water evaporated out when it was heated, and then it was trapped, the thinking goes. The discovery fits neatly with the region's heavy seismic activity and fits neatly with the idea that the planet's moving crustal plates are lubricated with water."

Unsurprisingly, there's not a lot of research into drilling wells deeper than that "oil and gas window". It's a pity though, the amount of heat energy in that water would be staggering.

Just to save the mockers some time, I'll mention that I fully realize that the hydroplate theory:

One perfect man (Adam) sinned and passed that sin onto all human kind.
One perfect man (Jesus) died without sinning, and canceled out that debt.
Gods perfect sense of justice forced him to make such a sacrifice for all humankind.
Looking at it that way, doesn't option B sound more likely??
