ADAM\EVE

[Lazarus Short]

I had noticed sometime ago that it did not rain until Gen. 7:4 and then God caused the flood. It is very interesting that Adam according to Gen.3:17-19 was to do all that farming or growing, tilling, toiling, whatever with out a drop of water/rain. That I believe is substansial.

See Genesis 2:6 - anyway, the Hopi people of Arizona will plant corn in what is basically desert soil (I have seen this in Mexico too) and up the shoot comes.  One Hopi commented, "The white man doesn't know how we do this."

Genesis 2:4-5 does NOT state that there was no rain until the time of Noah. It simply states that before man was created, rain had not yet been sent.
NIV translation
"4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, FOR (or because)the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."

No need for it to rain until Adam was there a few days later.

green house effect

Or a giant artisan well
Same well, with a vastly reduced output, that provided water for Temple services.
It's (on of) the biggest underground river ever found.

[micah7:9]

Wet was there, how don't know,a mist was there, it says. Personally I think word and idea playing is amusing.
