Has Comet-Earth-Water-Theory Bitten the Dust?

Astronomers say they now know, what many of us have long suspected, and it is that our planet's water did not come from the comets.  

Results from the Rosetta probe suggest the old theory doesn't hold water. Or if it does, it's the wrong kind of water.

Some scientific diehards are now suggesting that maybe the water is "deep inside" the comets or that it arrived here on "wet asteroids". This modification of the comet-earth-water-theory is definite proof of the drowning-man-will-grasp-at-a-straw-theory.

One answer to the riddle is the theory that the water burst forth from deep inside the Earth.  And there is actual evidence for this theory.

Scientists at Vienna University suggested earlier this year in the science magazine Nature that there could as much water deep below the Earth's surface as on the surface. 

Their calculations are based upon the fact that diamonds from great depths brought to the surface by volcanic activity in South America were found to contain water.

However there are some who believe they have known the truth about the source of the water all along.

They say that the whole of our blue planet was originally covered with water. That there was water above the Earth and water on the Earth and in between the two lots of water was a layer of atmosphere. 

This idea is not far fetched when one looks for example at the rings around other planets.

The author of the account of Creation in the book of Genesis speaks of:

the birth 

of our blue Earth

of a layer of water 

in the sky

and of water below

and

an expanse 

between the waters 

like an ancient atmosphere

to separate 

water 

from water 

water 

under the expanse 

and water 

above it 

until 

gathered 

to one place 

to

let dry ground appear 

the gathered waters 

forming 

the seas.
