    I would not think of the water present during or after the earth's creation as liquid water. It would have to be steam, until the planet cooled off enough for the steam to condense. The only question in my mind would be: was the water present with all of the other hot gases, or did hydrogen and oxygen react to form the water? I'm not sure it matters, of course.

    There is another form that water can take, besides a pure solid, liquid or gas. It can form a hydrate with certain minerals and organic compounds, often tying up many water molecules per organic molecule, like methane hydrate (5.75 water molecules per methane--actually 46 waters for 8 methanes).

    So I was watching this physics professor "drinking" a glass of water, that according to him , is at least 4 billion years old.
    (as is all water)

    He said his mama always used to tell him not to drink "old water" because one "never knows where it has been" -

    The physicist commented after taking a swig - Mom, if you only knew.............

    And massive overfishing by the Chinese. Their roaming fleets of ships have no respect for intl boundaries or protected areas. Sinking those fleets would be an act of terrorism I wouldn't be upset by
