    How do you know? Your age only shows 61, and even by biblical accounts the earth is older than that

    So if I understand you correctly, we get some water that has been subjected to a specific chemical reaction and from this we can get brand new water that hasn't been around before. ... brilliant, let's apply a specific chemical reaction to all the water everywhere and then we won't have a problem anymore.

    Actually, just reading through the last few pages of this thread, I reckon if the Toowoomba mob were to treat it appropriately, they could top up their drinking water with it!

    Recycled water can turn male fish into females, according to Queensland Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg.
    Mr Springborg cited what he said was research detailing the sex change powers of recycled water when questioned on why he did not support plans to use purified recycled water for drinking.:eek:best stick to drinkin beer other wise ya balls could drop off

    All water on earth is "recycled" there is no such thing as new water. Natures recycling process is somewhat better than what is proposed.

    Bob,

    It is clear from the geological record that there have been oceans on the earth for at least 1500 million years, and probably much longer. I have seen marine fossils (stromatolites) in rocks 1500 million years old.

    I'm not saying that he oceans rivers and lakes haven't been there for a while now, all I'm asking is where all that water came from originally?

    I refuse to believe that it suddenly appeared out of nowhere so how did it come about originally? Did it undergo specific chemical reactions?

    Comets was what I had been lead to believe.

    That and chemical reactions in the primordial soup that was the early Earth's atmosphere.

    Haven't read the entire thread so forgive me if this has already been mentioned.

    There's a an old postulation that I came across reading about some modern psuedo science that says molecules put in water somehow keep their properties when diluted with water. Can't remember the name of it, but akin to Reiki and all that alternative bs. Strange, Lizzy II, an otherwise sensible old thing, believes in it.

    I digress.

    The postulation is known as 'Cleopatra's Piddle'. I says that with our ecosystem, we have all drank of water that contains, however minutely, Cleopatras urine.

    There is only a finite amount of water on Earth, and it constantly recycles.

    I think Toowoomba is living evidence of the Donkey Vote.

    Singapore, Switzerland, London, Adelaide, lots of USA already drink treated effluent, haven't heard of too many fishes undergoing sex changes yet. Still they are probably not National Party voters.
