Where did the rivers go?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 4

All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.
(Ecclesiastes 1:7) ESV

The preacher ponders the significance of rivers running into the sea. It may be a rhetorical question which illustrates the mysteries of God. Or it’s part of a hydrological cycle in which the answer is logical and obvious.

Literally Literal

Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
(Psalms 42:7) ESV

“Deep calls to deep” may be flowery poetic language intended to teach us something spiritual. However we’re going to use it as the literal description of a hydrological cycle. It’s an application of Hypothesis 22.
