The slick is in the Atlantic?

What a load of crap.

There's to many oddity's concerning this gulf ordeal (not to mention the color red) I've read that maybe n. corea might of caused the damaged using a sub and a ejected slug (there well could be something to this story) and other strange stories (another leak about 4knots away etc. Many things just are not right about this all the way up to the administration!

If this is actually a VOLCANO and not just an oil vein they tapped into- would the ochre color make sense? What is its chemical composition? Iron? Rust? Why isnt simple lab analysis being conducted?

Peak oil is a marketing scheme designed to keep oil prices inflated and profitable. It's no different than the diamond industry. Crude oil is not "fossil" fuel, but made by chemical processes in the earth's crust. This scientist's claim that chlorophyll is the component in this crude which makes it red is bunk. There's no plant life under an ocean of water, much less six miles deep. People need to stop buying into corporate and government propoganda and do a liitle independent thinking.

wow, i think the Bible said one third of the seas will turn to blood....could it be this "red" oil spill?

YES! i totally think this is Gods way of telling us the world is coming to an end, and he's coming for his people soon!

Obviously who ever wrote this did not grow up in a oil producing state as I've seen crude from black as night to as orange as a setting sun. Why dont you try asking a roughneck before you decide that an oil slick of this color is strange.

Chlorophyll is only one molecule different from blood. The waters are literally turning into blood like it states in the book of Revelation!

Rev 8:8

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

Rev 8:9

And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

in response to the people who quoted the bible. if u read chapter 8 from the beginning u would kno this happens after god scorches the earth. and quotes verse 6 and 7 "the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. the first angel sounded his trumpet. and there came hail of fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up and ALL the green grass was burned up." so if this were the angel that did this. all nation would have heard a trumpet sound. declaring jesus second coming. so this oil spill has no relation to biblical events. but it is coming soon. be prepared.

when did the "first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up" take place?

Maybe your paranoia may be put to best use elsewhere. We do not welcome fanatics of any sort.

whos 'We" Not me!!!!!

Rev. 8: 8-11

could it be the presence of carbon dioxide turning the water red

Yeah Yeah you've destroyed your environment, now what are you gonna do about it,
even pumping up the oil won't solve the problem, microorganisms, plancton, algae,
shellfish, actually all fauna have been contaminated, usually Oil companies have safety
wells in case things go out of hand to avoid calamities, but they're too greedy to barely
see their own buttock, but huan beings deserve what's coming upon them, especially americans, and brits who keep invading countries to take their resources even if they have to kill every one who gets on their way.

For some reason people seem particularly angry at the US and Great Britain for all the woes of the earth, as though these two countries are the only ones who have ever done evil, or been greedy or tried to grab more land. Please, give me a break. If you give even a cursory look at real history, not the made up pc stuff of today, you will see that all of mankind and all nations have always been greedy, done bad stuff, tried to grab up more land, etc. Pretty much every race has enslaved or tried to enslave others, whether of other races or their own. Don't be foolish. Evil is in the heart of man from the beginning. Set a group of children of all races into a room with a plate of cookies and see what happens. Quit looking for scapegoats. Man has always done that. We mess up and look for someone to blame. Will we ever grow up? Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. American Indians are not and never were perfect, the black man is not and never will be perfect, neither will the brown, yellow, white or red. We are just humanity, some are kind, some are just ignorant, some are bitter, angry and greedy. There is always someone trying to take over the world, ie "I will rule the world". I always see the bad guy in "Underdog" every time I see George Soros face on tv. It would crack me up if he didn't actually get off on taking down countries and destroying lives. Mat God grant him a repentant heart.

It's Lava. That's why it's RED. It's a volcano, not an Oil spill.

This is not the event of Revelation, but it is like it. These things come on as birth pangs. Many foreshadowings typically occur before a prophecy is finally fulfilled. It's interesting that people are comparing this to the earth bleeding.

As for the color, it's interesting, and the blood of a dead man might be anywhere from dark red to black because of the hemoglobin losing oxygen, so a black oil spill could as easily look like blood to John. There was no burning mountain cast into the sea, and as someone else mentioned, the preceding events have not yet occurred. So no, this is not the prophecy, but it is a birth pang or an incidence of false labor, if you will. False labor does nothing discernible toward bringing on a birth, but it does indicate the birth is coming.

Mountains in the bible often were references to governments or the ones in power.
