Is this what they think? "Finally the day came.... when the tiny falling raindrops did not hiss away in steam, but stayed... to start filling the crevices and corners of the naked planet." (sounds So scientific!)

Water is not a common substance in the universe, even though comets are made of ice and rock and there is ice on Mars, other substances form ice, they have no ice or water from any other source than earth, now, why is that? Why is there water only on earth? And I don't want to hear any comments about water on one of the moons of Jupiter or on Mars or anyother place in the universe, they never retrieved any to prove that. And to those of you that say it has nothing to do with your evolution, NO WATER, NO LIFE. CO2 or carbon dioxide can form ice, we call it dry ice.

You do know that evolution says nothing about where the oceans came from, right?
You might as well ask how the subway timetable explains biodiversity.
Do you notice that, even when a glaring mistake like this is made, not a single creationist will point it out?
Is it because
a) they are unaware that a serious logical error has been made (in their favor, at least until someone points it out)
b) although they see the logical flaw, they are happy to let it slide because appearing to be right the closest thing they're going to get to actually being right?
Either way the creationist side is bankrupt.

Religious view: God made a pit stop.
Scientific view: trillions of gallons of water accumulated over time as comets constantly bombarded the young earth and volcanic vents blasted huge quantities of water vapor in the atmosphere which precipitated on the surface.
By the way, water (in all three forms) can be found on almost any other planet in the solar system; on Mars there is ice, and even in the Jupiter's atmosphere there are water crystals, on the moon Europa, there is speculated to be an entire ocean of water under the miles of ice, it's far from a rarity.
Which is more credible?

Evolution doesn't apply to that.
How about this. Why not do some actual research on it instead of believing what you're told? I think you'd find the physics behind planet formation to be pretty fascinating and it would answer your question. Then you wouldn't ask something like this and make yourself look completely uneducated.
Plus the people researching evolution are not called 'evolutionists'. You lose a lot of credibility just saying it.

Ice meteors are hitting the earth at a pretty good clip, a few gallons of water every thousand years or so, enough to fill an ocean or two over 4.6 billion years

Praca.... Hydrogen carbon and oxygen are very common in the universe, do you think water is rare? what are you basing this anti-intellectual guess on?

1.) There is no “evolutionist” job title or occupation anywhere in the world.
2.) Evolutionary facts and the scientific theory of evolution are biological science and have nothing to do with the chemistry, physics, or geomorphological effects of water.
3.) Water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen.
You know absolutely nothing at all about any science, huh?

the water that is here has always been here (at least the hydrogen and oxygen that make it up). all you need is a bit of energy to start the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen. and since when did the formation of water on this planet have to do with evolution? sounds more like earth science.

Ice is seen throughout our solar system as well as in other galaxies.
when the earth was young Asteroids meteors etc. would constantly bombard the earth, and as you probably know asteroids are covered in Ice, upon impact the Ice would melt filling the earths atmosphere with moisture and eventually over billions of years the earth had all this water that we have now :)
EDIT: Hey! whats with all the thumbs down???
This is an Accepted scientific theory!

"Evolutionists" are not interested in the arguments about cosmology. You should look up the formation of the solar system, which has NOTHING to do with the evolution of life.

A bombardment of comets may have brought water to earth. Comets contain water.
This is according to scientists. Not evolutionists.
