What exactly is this supposed to be evidence of?

A passage which refers to the sources of water for the sea isn't necessarily referring to hydrothermal vents.  It could be a figurative passage referring to an assumed source of the waters of the sea.  It could be any number of things.  I take it that you're claiming that because it refers to hydrothermal vents, and hydrothermal vents weren't known at the time, the only source of this information is a supernatural being.  That's assuming an awful lot about what these mysterious sea springs that he refers to are.  Moreover, we're not supernatural and we know about them, so obviously it doesn't take a supernatural event for the knowledge to be discovered.  Perhaps it was aliens.    You can't rule out a natural explanation if there is one for the fact that we have such knowledge by natural means.  Again, as I stated in my first post, you can't trace a causal story back to God, so this isn't really evidence of Him or any other supernatural being.  It could be any of a vast number of potential supernatural causes.  And it could have a natural explanation.  (Including that you're over interpreting the passage.)

Pinning your God belief on a questionable interpretation of a passage is weak.

Right on all counts. It's always puzzled me that none of the so-called prophetic passages in the various 'holy' books aren't unambiguous. If the author of Job truly knew about geothermal vents, he could just as easily have written, 'And the Lord maketh rifts in the floors of the seas. And from out these rifts he sendeth waters of exceeding heat, wherewith to replenish the oceans of the world he hath made.'

That this didn't happen almost makes one think that the author in question was simply a literate barbarian who knew as much about oceanography as a pig knows about Plutarch.
