Just one Ice Age Ronal? I don't believe the Bible records ANY "ice age", so
you must be referring to some version of standard paleontology. However
there has been more than one--and if you accept the data which establishes
the one, well, you're kinda stuck with all the others. So, like, what's up?

Job 38:28-30 I believe is referring to the ice age. The deep he is referring
to is not the oceans but the waters of the canopy. Only one ice age
occurred, and unless we develop another water canopy, which then in turn
collapses, there won't be another one.

Only one ice age? See what I mean when I say that Ronal, who has no
credentials at all in geology, sets himself up as an authority who knows
more about this than geologists who spend a lifetime studying the subject?
What does Ronal base his "I believe on"? Well, here is what this passage
says: "Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? Out of
whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered
it? The waters hide themselves and become like stone, and the face of the
deep is frozen." From this, Ronal knows that there will be only one ice
age. The fact that geologists say there have been several doesn't matter.
Ronal has his arbitrary interpretation of an obscure, obviously poetic
passage, so to hell with what science says.
Why do we ignore Ronal? And when in the hell am I going to learn to ignore
him even more, say, completely? Anyway, I hope that Ronal noticed that his
"proof text" said that the FACE of the deep is frozen. The face would be
the surface, not below it at some depth where the ice layer would keep salt
water separated from the fresh water that fell from a water canopy.
Do people actually believe this stuff? Don't you sometimes wonder if these
guys are just pulling our legs?
