Allen,
First of all, what you are speaking
of is predicted on the basis of models
that make lots of wild assumptions. As far as I know, global warming hasn't
yet dramatically affected the
ocean levels and even if it has (or
will), you're speaking of references
in the Psalms, which are poetic and
not to be taken in a scientific or
literal manner.
The point is that in the typical
experience of an individual, the
ocean boundaries don't appreciably
move, but are stable. Despite the
vastness and chaos of the ocean,
from day to day it maintains predictable
boundaries. After a storm, it returns
to where it was before. The intent
is not to say that the coastlines
will never, ever change until the
end of time.
If the effects of global warming
really bother you, just consider
that God has moved the boundaries.
It doesn't say that the boundaries
will never change, only that the
ocean doesn't move beyond them.
