If clicking the article title leads to "In 2020, researchers at France’s University of Lorraine announced evidence seen in a meteorite known as Sahara 97096 that supported an increasingly popular theory: Earth’s original water ingredients hid inside meteorites that collided with the planet billions of years ago." “'We now think that the material that built our planet… was far richer in hydrogen than we thought previously,' he added. 'This finding supports the idea that the formation of water on Earth was a natural process, rather than a fluke of hydrated asteroids bombarding our planet after it formed.'” So, as usual, schools teach theories as facts only to be contradicted by later scientists. There is but one sure, unchanging explanation -- God. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:2). The earth being without form and void means that it took form and then there was water. Water could not be present while this place was without form and void. That means God formed the planet and the rest is history. "Worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" (Revelation 14:7).
