If they blessed the oceans, and turned them into holy water, would we have more than just holy mackerel?

No.  The water would be blessed, but I don't think the things in the water would become holy.  You would have to bless those too.  Just my opinion, I can be changed with the right argument.

We don't really know how many creatures live in the sea, so it would be impossible to guess how much cubic space would be made available by the removal of the animals. \n\nStill, there is so much water that the ratio of water to earth would still be approximately 3/4.\n\nAll Water on Earth:\n\nOceans__________________97.24%\nAll ice caps/glaciers________2.14%\nGroundwater______________0.61%\nFreshwater lakes__________0.009%\nInland seas/salt lakes______0.008%\nSoil Moisture_____________0.005%\nAtmosphere______________0.001%\nAll rivers_________________0.0001%\nTotal____________________100%

Salt in the ocean comes from the land. The elements that make up salts, such as chlorine and sodium, started out in rocks. Water and acids eroded the rocks, and rivers carried the elements into the sea. The oceans usually contain 35 parts of salts for every 1000 parts of sea water. This is lower in some places where there is a lot of fresh water coming into the ocean. It is higher where the Sun is very strong and evaporates more of the water. When all the water is gone, the salts are left behind as solid, white crystals.\n\nThe right amount of salt is a very important part of our diet. In ancient times, salt was worth its weight in gold. People used it to flavor and preserve their food. Without salt, the food would spoil. For this reason, salt became a symbol of purity. Some sacrifices in the Old Testament included salt (Leviticus 2:13; Ezekiel 43:24). Jesus called faithful people "the salt of the earth," and the apostle Paul said that our speech should be "seasoned with salt"

Humans may surprise you... you could talk about it scientifically with the gasses and the reflection of the ocean... or you could explain it spiritually... so yes.\n\nWhat'd I tell yah? :)

sure, just make up a saline mixture of simulated seawater at 3.5% salinity. T

yes we need the whales

OMG!!!  We would all be forced to live in the mountains because everywhere else would be underwater. Thank you Sponge Bob for keeping us high and dry.\n\nActually no difference. They are saturated in water that would have been there anyway. And the solid parts are made from the minerals and organic compounds which already existed in the ocean. I believe that any calculation or measurement for ocean depth/volume would be the same with and without sponges.

I think so...why would the Lord create this beautiful planet to be all alone? We "Earthlings" are social creatures..therefore it would only be logical for there to be other life.

I would think, Thank goodness, if I had to look at one more Jesus fish I was gonna puke...

What if God (or Goddess) was all of us and then some?

Hmmmmm, lots of uniformed guesses here.\n\nHoly Water is made holy by:\nA) Obtaining pure distilled water.\nB) Obtaining blessed salt. Plain sodium chloride that has been previously blessed by a priest asking that God bless it.\nC) Putting the two ingredients together and having a priest ask God for His blessing upon the water. Then it's Holy. What we ask for from God in Jesus' Name, we get.\n\nHoly Water is not to be sold. NO holy item may be sold. That is the sin of simony. Look it up. Any item made and sold for religious purposes may be sold and blessed, but only AFTER the sale may it be blessed. Only then does it become holy. \n\nThe closest you can get to selling holy water is the sale of Lourdes water. Small bottles filled at the spring at Lourdes can be purchased. But since they are not blessed they are not truly holy, just water from a spring where miracles of a medical kind have been shown to have happened. Bless that Lourdes water and it becomes blessed Lourdes water, NOT the holy water that is used in the Church for blessing other things, including you. THAT water MUST contain blessed salt. Lourdes water doesn't.

Yes.  It can also be a very spiritual experience.  They are, after all, God's creatures.

I have a feeling, most of us would be shocked, however, since we will be changed too, we may be more amazed at how He changes us. Mortal/Immortal, Corrupt/Incoruptable, & limited knowledge/united to the Mind of Christ & etc.

Gen. 7:14\nFrom the foregoing, it becomes apparent that Noah could get all the necessary animals into the ark for preservation through the Flood. The Bible does not say that he had to preserve alive every variety of the animals. Rather, it states: “Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive.” (Ge 6:20; 7:14, 15) Jehovah God knew it was necessary to save only representative members of the different “kinds,” since they would reproduce in variety after the Flood.\n\nFollowing the recession of the floodwaters, these comparatively few basic “kinds” emerged from the ark and spread out over the surface of the earth, eventually producing many variations of their “kinds.” Although many new varieties have come into existence since the Flood, the surviving “kinds” have remained fixed and unchanged.\n\nCould the Ark Have Held All the Animals?\n\nThe “kinds” of animals selected had reference to the clear-cut and unalterable boundaries or limits set by the Creator, within which boundaries creatures are capable of breeding “according to their kinds.” It has been estimated by some that the hundreds of thousands of species of animals today could be reduced to a comparatively few family “kinds”—the horse kind and the cow kind, to mention but two. The breeding boundaries according to “kind” established by Jehovah were not and could not be crossed. With this in mind some investigators have said that, had there been as few as 43 “kinds” of mammals, 74 “kinds” of birds, and 10 “kinds” of reptiles in the ark, they could have produced the variety of species known today. Others have been more liberal in estimating that 72 “kinds” of quadrupeds and less than 200 bird “kinds” were all that were required. That the great variety of animal life known today could have come from inbreeding within so few “kinds” following the Flood is proved by the endless variety of humankind—short, tall, fat, thin, with countless variations in the color of hair, eyes, and skin—all of whom sprang from the one family of Noah.\n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!\n\nAt Genesis 6:14, the Hebrew word qin·nim′ (“nests”) is translated “rooms” (KJ, RS), “cabins” (AT), and “compartments” (NW). Evidently these were relatively small compartments in the ark built by Noah and, similar to birds’ nests, served as a protection and shelter through a critical time when men and animals were otherwise helpless.

Its another part of our evolving lives. Its easily cured however, just think about it. The ice caps melt and sea level rises. Fair enough, Our resovoirs are empty, so if we desalinate sea water and use it for washing etc, we will be using it as fast as the ice caps are losing it, Thus leaving a bit of fresh water to drink and stopping us all from drowning, i dont know why the politicians didnt think of it!!!

The bible does mention unicorn's unless you got the version that changed them into donkeys..But yes they could all have been real..I think Unicorn's became those whales with the horns (narwhal) when they missed the boat..
