Bible and Geology: the Mantle


Food is grown on the earth above, but down below, the earth is melted as by fire.
New Living Translation. Job 28:5

The Earth’s crust is only about 3–25 miles in thickness. Under the crust are several thousand miles of molten matter—like a plastic which glows red hot. It is interesting that Job appears to allude to this geological reality.
