Dr. Don Clark of Creation Moments brings to light a recent BBC article that claims all of the water on earth arrived from outer space as chunks of ice eons ago, offering us no evidence whatsoever …but they got some of it right …sort of.

I forgot to add Dr Walter Brown also explained the origin of windows of the heaven’s first cause (in this book) was the high-pressure jetting into the atmosphere of the waters of the great deep precipitating back to Earth as rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Not just any rain but a torrential rain of catastrophic proportions and impact.
Good morning, everyone: I believe Dr Walter Brown author of the creationist book “In the Beginning” has in my mind the best explanation for where the Earth got it’s water and the deuterium thus: See page 11 of this online book you may find at http://www.creationscience.com. I quote…
HP: Deuterium formed when the subterranean water absorbed a sea of fast neutrons during the early weeks of the flood. (Powerful bremsstrahlung radiation produces free neutrons, as explained beginning on page 406.) Comets later formed from some of the deuterium-rich water that was launched from Earth by the fountains of the great deep. Traces of that deuterium have been found on the Moon. [See Endnote 76 on page 343.] Most of the deuterium-rich, subterranean water mixed about 50–50 with Earth’s surface waters to give us the high deuterium concentrations we have on Earth today. Meteorites are also rich in deuterium
God opened the fountains of the sky may also mean that he showered the earth with lots of ice meteors. But all – give me a break.
Recent science seems to indicate that the water in comets has much more deuterium than water on earth, suggesting the water came from elsewhere. Genesis does indicate that there was both water above and water below that came to be separated by earth and sky. The presence of oceans-worth of water locked up in minerals within the earth has been recently established. I suspect there was an outer shell of ice surrounding the earth that furnished water from above, as opposed to comets over vast amounts of time pummeling the earth to fill the oceans. Not sure where “fountains of the sky” is to be found. I do hope we haven’t exasperated you too much. Thanks for contributing!
