Oxygen and hydrogen are very abundant elements

>>9588249
There's plenty of water in the universe. In this time that Earth existed it's plenty possible Earth was hit by some ice commet bringing lots of water.

>>9588249
Comets crashing into it during it's early life?

>>9588293
How does that make water it would just leave a big crater lol look at the moon

>>9588307

Comets contain quite a lot of ice

>>9588249
If you want to bring god into the equation just say that he was involved at the time zero and leave it at that, everything else can be explained and proven by scientific methods.

>>9588312
No they don't they're big clumps of rock, and even if ice hit the earth how does it suddenly become water to form an ocean?

>>9588307
Comets and asteroids are different. Comets are very abudnant in volatiles, while asteroids are mostly rock and metal. It's why comets get tails when they get near the sun, it's the volatiles sublimating.

>>9588327
Comets by definition contain ice

Stop reading popsci for fuck's sake.

Impact would heat the ice. And even if it didn't Earth wasn't ice cold and the sun would melt the ice very quickly.

>>9588327
>how does ice become water?
It melts

>>9588365
>>9588358
then the water would evaporate as well retards

Science doesn't know how water originated on Earth.

Stop pretending like you retards on 4chan are going to figure this out.

The best hypothesis is "lol water asteroids hit Earth".

There's no proof or evidence to that at all. Considering how much water is on Earth, it seems implausible.

>>9588386
uhh

>>9588380
So what?

>>9588259
>Using a dated meme

>>9588380
I get that you're trolling but I think you might unironically not know what clouds are.

>>9588386
All water on Earth would fit in a sphere 1400 km wide. It's honestly not that much and billions of years is plenty for some big comets to hit the Earth.

>>9588421
Assuming the sphere was just water, and there's no balls of water flying around space.

Comets/asteroids that contain enough water to fill Earth is just implausible. Earth would have been wiped out by getting hit by enough needed to fill the Earth with water. Why don't any other planets have water?

>>9588471
Mercury is too close to the sun
Venus is too hot
Earth has water
Mars has water
Gas giants are gaseous

>>9588471
Mars has water for example

>>9588397

>Mars has water

Oh cool you found some ice cubes?

Why does Earth have 326 million trillion gallons of water?

>>9588327
Comets are mostly ice, meteorites are more rocky.

>>9588492

Why is your peepee shorter than mine?

>>9588492
Earth is bigger and closer to the Sun so comets hit earth more often
The comets that brought water to earth all hit earth in the early solar system when things were more chaotic
there wasn't liquid water on earth immediately, it was all water vapor and hen it rained for hundreds of millions of years on Earth

Mars might have had much more water than today up to a 1/3rd of the surface, Earth isn't an exception.

>>9588509
Cool hypothesis, there is no evidence/proof to it though.

The amount and/or size of comets needed to hit Earth to fill it with as much water as it has now, would have destroyed Earth.

>>9588506
God designed a penis size RNG formula that is applies in utero, using variables like race.

>>9588530
Okay how many comets would it have taken and prove that the force imparted, over thousands or millions of years mind you, would have broken up the planet.

>>9588530
the earth is literally cracked from all the ice that smashed into it thousands of years ago...

>that comic

umm sweetie?

>>9588249
>how the earth got all its water

>>9588490
Orly? That's an epic win.

>>9589026
I don't think there's a word that deserved to be ruined less than epic

>>9588490
but that meme was literally dated 2015
