Originally posted by Mr Masternow who in the hell came up with that number? to even take a swing at a claim like that, we would need to have a complete geographical layout of the entire ocean floor - taking into account every rise/fall/twist/turn it made [as all of those variables would factor into the equation]. to my knowledge, we don't have anything close to this. *shrug*
There are trillions upon trillions drops of water in the ocean,
roughly around 20 septillion in fact.

1,000,000,000,000,000 = One Quintillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = One Sextillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = One Septillion
..........................................................................................................
The Wiki FACTS! section (un-editable)
tells us there are 908,400 drops in one Gallon.
..........................................................................................................
According to a Naval Meteorology & Oceanography Command
conversion worksheet for Junior and High School curriculums:
http://www.inventionfactory.com/lounge/scienceaction/gallons.htm
3.612 x 10^20 gallons of water in the Ocean
3,612,000,000,000,000,000,000
*328 million cubic miles* (Volume)
..........................................................................................................
According to an article at CNN/tech/science department,
they confirm the number of Gallons in the Ocean to be:
http://www.progressiveu.org/162506-whale-shark-death-at-georgia-aquarium
3.612 x 10^20
361.2 Quintillion gallons of water in the ocean
..........................................................................................................
This strengthens the reliability of their estimation of the Ocean's Volume:
..........................................................................................................
According to "Physical Geography Fundamentals department:
http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8o.html
*329 million cubic miles* (Volume)
==============================================
3.612 x 10^20 x 908,400 = 3.2811408 x 10^24
32.8 Septillion drops of water in the Ocean. 🙂
(or 32,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
==============================================
According to the editors
of the Wall Street Journal Opinion Page,
based on an unscientific experiment to calculate the amount of drops in a Gallon,
they concluded it's roughly 22.2 Septillion drops of water in the ocean.
They calculated their number of drops in a Gallon,
with the factual estimated amount of Gallons in the Ocean,
based on the US Navy/Military,
which again, concludes the estimation to be at 3.612 x 10^20, g/w.
(or 361.2 Quintillion gallons of water)
http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110002460 (under Water Torture--II)
"According to the U.S. Navy,
there are actually 361.2 Quintillion gallons of ocean water."
==============================================
Editor's of the Wall Street Journal arrived at ... 22.2 Septillion.
Mr Master arrived at 32.8 Septillion.
To be fair considering the benefit of the doubt, I'll say roughly 25 Septillion. 👆
Originally posted by Galan007okay, i thought someone had actually claimed such an erroneous number as 100% fact. i just didn't see how you could feasibly place a factual/stagnant number on something which constantly varies, like the ocean. cool beans.
I clearly stated, "roughly" ... 🙂
You're right though, of course there can be no absolute number,
but these nerds (myself included) have figured out at-least the rough estimate.
The rough estimate is factual, that much I know.

Originally posted by Dark-JaxxIf you are rich,
why are you spending money on comics instead of girls dressed as comic book chicks?
They don't talk back, and after I buy them, they never ask for money,
in fact, they go up in value, and I can sell them off and make a profit,
then buy a new one.
It's a beautiful thing.
Originally posted by Knowsbleed33Just say Septillion.
People don't have to take your word for it, they can learn for themselves.
Originally posted by Dark-JaxxYeah, but sex with real girls won't give you a papercut like sex with comic chicks will.
In the beginning, I noticed only the benefits.
If a monster came at me,
all I had to do was materialize a powerful gun with which to shoot it.
I soon dispensed with guns however,
when I realized it was just as easy (but more ego-satisfying)
to shoot energy blasts from my hands, as if I were a comic book hero.
As my confidence grew,
I tired of the energy blasts,
and began to grapple with fearsome beasts hand-to-hand, like Beowulf;
I could be as strong and impervious to harm as I wished to be,
and so always defeated my foes.
For the first time ever I was able to fly at great heights and speeds.
I reveled in my newfound power.
Manipulation of time and space
Once,
I had been engaged in some sort of mischief
which spurred the local constabulary to chase after us.
We managed to evade our pursuers,
and my friend dropped me off near a factory in town.
As he waited, parked, I walked some distance towards a building
(I can't recall the reason; more mischief, I suppose).
Just as I reached a point too far from my friend to return in time,
a police car rounded the bend a few hundred yards away, saw me, and floored it.
My friend sped helplessly away,
as we both realized there wasn't any hope of my making it back to him.
Just as the police reached me, I remembered my power.
I'd used it primarily as a weapon and tool of levitation up to that point.
But there was no good reason why I couldn't bend time and space as well, was there?
I sent my dreamverse into "rewind", as if it were a tape in a VCR,
and watched everything run backwards.
The cops disappeared back around the bend, my friend returned to the curb,
and I backtracked to his car. Then I hit the "play" button.
My friend was puzzled by my sudden hesitation to disembark this second time.
So I told him the cops were coming, and there they were, right on schedule.
Only this time, my friend and I sped away together,
and had a merry time as the police pursued us in vain.
The problem is:
Absolute power bores absolutely
The fun didn't last very long.
Though I've forgotten many details,
I do remember my final judgment on the matter
(I'm very careful to remember any lessons learned about an experience,
even if I decide to let the details themselves fade into obscurity.)
In the main, I learned that absolute power bores absolutely.
It may corrupt too, as the old saying goes,
but any corruption I experienced
didn't make nearly as big an impression on me as the boredom.
When you're master of all you survey,
you're also bereft of any challenge or hope of novelty.
When you win a battle you had no chance of losing, the victory is meaningless.
When nothing new can occur without your permission, you cannot be surprised.
Without fear there is no courage. Without need or want there is no progress or movement.
Without limitations, there is no life.
......................................................................................
Imagine a person whose taste buds have been irrevocably destroyed,
to the extent that they may no longer taste anything they eat or drink.
Every meal becomes a burden of mere exercise of the jaws and tongue,
that must be performed several times a day to stave off weakness from hunger.
Rather than looking forward to meals, the victim begins to loathe them.
They become a punishment rather than a treat.
If you want to know the feeling, buy a pack of gum,
chew all the sticks until every last bit of sweetness has been leached away,
then pack the remnants into a plastic bag and refrigerate them.
For the next week,
pull out the wad of gum and chew it for about twenty minutes three times a day,
to emulate eating,
and you'll get some idea of what a taste denied person might perceive during meals.
You'll also get some idea of what's missing from the life of a God.
Any motion is essentially wasted from an emotional standpoint,
as you may ultimately derive no pleasure or gain from it.
No gain, because you already have everything.
No pleasure, because there's no other possibility to put it into context.
In a reality that knows only "Yes", you quickly begin yearning desperately for a "No".
If you've never been ill,
the vigor and well being of health has much less impact on your psyche than it might otherwise.
If you've never experienced rejection,
acceptance and love will rank low in your personal value system,
as common, easily acquired qualities.
Pleasure may be devalued
to the point of nothingness in the absolute absence of pain or deprivation,
just as money may be devalued to the point of zero worth by inflation,
which is by definition a state whereby money may be attained too easily.
Pleasure which comes consistently at no cost or risk of pain
may quickly become inflated to the point where it becomes meaningless
or worthless to the possessor.
Oh, so I've heard. 🙂

2. Clearly states that Beyonder was LIKE God. It didn't state he WAS/IS God.
Elaine IS God 😐
3. Why do you need to discover something you should already now, if you truly are an omniscient and omnipresent God??
Still, your evidence and arguments, though detailed, are bland.
Beyonder is God-LIKE, NOT God.
Elaine IS/WAS God.
A no-contest.
