Lets try this again - VERY simplistically.....

1) Fill a glass halfway with salt water. (A 3% salt solution, if you can manage it);
2) Hold an ice cube above the water. Mark the current water level on the side of the glass;
3) Let the ice cube melt (via hair dryer, microwave oven, window sill, etc. It doesn't matter how);
4) Notice that the new water level has gone up after the ice melted.

This, fellow bipeds, is SCIENCE. Anybody can replicate this experiment. Every time, the results will be the same.

Just sayin'
