Water.. In the sky?

Have you ever thought about clouds in depth? Apart from the obvious "Oh no there are a whole bunch of clouds- it's going to rain"? Think about it. There is water. Clumped together into a giant marshmallow. In the sky. What in the world is it doing up there?

Did someone try to pull a practical joke? Was water cursed by some ancient god who wanted to separate it from it's precious earth for a little while? Did some alchemist make a dreadful error while trying to turn water into gold?  Out of all the random places to put water: Why the sky? Yes, yes, because of evaporation, condensation, vituperation, and so on and so forth. But really.. Water is slippery. You can't even just put water on a table and expect it to stay together in one clump, much less throw it in the sky. Water is also heavy. I've carried packs of water bottles and I've found the it's not the lightest thing. Certainly not light enough to just hang in the sky.

But it does. Most of the water we see in this dry climate is in the sky, yet I have never been worried about walking under a cloud for fear that the whole thing would fall down and crush me like a giant, watery cinder block. And this whole post does not result from a lack of General Science course- I know that it has to do with which phase the water is in. But really-If you think about it- Why can water float just because the molecules aren't close together?

Why? Because that's the kind of God we have. Because He made his creation so that it's perfectly ordered, but still wondrous. Because He can do things like that. He's all powerful after all. We modern (High and mighty look upon the rustic ancients) humans may glory in our science, we may revel in our knowledge and we may put our faith in our own brainy-ness. But all of that is just us playing by God's rules.

"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
