Earth's Water Didn't Come From Outer Space

sciencehabit writes "Where did Earth's oceans come from? Astronomers have long contended that icy comets and asteroids delivered the water for them during an epoch of heavy bombardment that ended about 3.9 billion years ago. But a new study suggests that Earth supplied its own water, leaching it from the rocks that formed the planet. The finding may help explain why life on Earth appeared so early, and it may indicate that other rocky worlds are also awash in vast seas."

The water appeared out of nowhere?

Sounds like Al Gore has much in common to you.

You quoted from http://www.mrp3.com/bobf/

You just insulted Bob Frazier, a nuclear reactor operator, here are his credentials -- perhaps before you were even born or sucking on your mom's titties:

Military: U.S. Navy, 1980 through 1986. Served on board the U.S.S. La Jolla (SSN 701), a fast-attack nuclear submarine, as a nuclear reactor operator. Received Honorable Discharge at the rank of ET1(SS) (E-6).

So let me get this strait, you insult a Nuclear Reactor Operator bringing attention to Planet-X having 10-times the gravity or density of our planet Earth, in causing gravity-induced geothermal activity resulting in overal Warming, and you endorse a transiet Professional Politician known as Al Gore. Al Gore's global warming predictions and statistics only netted corporations more control over a country's competitive ability in the market place. You should be more worried by the rising mercury-levels in ocean food-creatures, because it is caused by shoreline countries smelting their gold while dumping the arenic and mercurry laced dross into the ocean to make a quick job of improving their goldstock. I think Planet-X is a noble counter-claim to prevent any such commercial regulation and pick-pocketing by politicians and corporations. Blame Planet-X, please, or else you will continually see legislation based on whirlwind phylosophy.
