Can you give me scientific references to mass loss during the pass over?

On that note, is there a way to figure out about what type of device or 'thing' would yield 0.7 grams?

Yes, in Nuclear fusion, something like couple of permille of mass energy is converted to blast energy, for fission it is a bit less. Look up that number for a device and divide .7 grams by it. E.g., if we assume 1 permille conversion just for concreteness, .7g energy output would correspond to an H-Bomb with 700g tritium or lithium or so in it (which sounds like little, so we're maybe not dealing with an fusion bomb... idk).

You could use Wolfram Alpha to directly convert 0.7 grams * c^2 into kilotons TNT...

OK I did that and my estimate wasn't that bad, 0.7 g mass equivalent corresponds to a yield of 15 kTons, i.e. an average fission device like in Hiroshima

Jesus Christ, do a little research for once instead of just buying into whatever confirms your beliefs.

Haha, this is exactly what I thinking of responding with when I first read the OP's bullshit. This has been used so often that atheists seem to be ready with the response instantly. It would be nice if the theists making these posts would at least research the basics. Come up with something more original.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

This is exactly what I meant when I spoke of the creationist rumour mill, which can be extended to include all desperate literalists. They have no method for correcting what passes for their data, so it just gets churned around and passed off as fact.

Round and round went the great big wheel...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm actually delighted that I got to delve into the mass loss/nuclear weapons yield relation a bit because of the stupid OP Smile

What, not doing the dead human mass loss also?
