Here is how Compton's Encyclopedia describes what happens: "Water . . .
evaporates from the surface of the oceans into the atmosphere . . . Steadily
moving air >currents in the earth's atmosphere carry the moist air inland.
When the air cools, the vapor condenses to form water droplets. These are
seen most commonly as >clouds. Often the droplets come together to form
raindrops. If the atmosphere is cold enough, snowflakes form instead of
raindrops. In either case, water that has >traveled from an ocean hundreds
or even thousands of miles away falls to the earth's surface. There it
gathers into streams or soaks into the ground and begins its >journey back
to the sea." This remarkable process, which makes life on dry land
possible, was well described about 3,000 years ago in simple,
straightforward >terms in the Bible: "All streams run into the sea, yet the
sea never overflows; back to the place from which the streams ran they
return to run again."—Ecclesiastes >1:7, The New English Bible.
Are you being serious? This is just simple observation!
