University of Iowa Physics Professor Lou Frank of "small comets" fame passed away last May after a long illness. He endured much abuse over his theory that comets were the source of the earth's water.

If you are the first to buck conventional wisdom (and, especially if you are right), you will suffer for it. The sciences can be particularly vicious that way.

God is the source you seek.

Personally I wouldn’t expect short period comets like this one to have much water. They have made so many passes around the sun the water would be baked out of them years ago.
Long period comets with million year orbits would probably have much more water.
However, that doesn’t necessarily exclude asteroids.

A little common sense reveals that it is utterly nonsensical that bodies falling to earth delivered oceans of water to earth.

And yet secular humanist science believers are all told to believe this and they do.

My theory is that comets are the source of Earth’s land but, I could be wrong.

I think the oceans were created by a massive project that was a joint effort of KBR, Bechtel and Halliburton, financed through the Carlyle Group.
They had a massive space program, with its corporate headquarters based in their solar system, on their home plant, NeWO, which gathered up the raw materials from various galaxies, transported them to our solar system, and deposited and arranged them here on earth.
