Methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor and ammonia contain all the ingredients necessary to create an atmosphere of some 80% nitrogen, about 20% oxygen, and a smattering of other elements and other gaseous compounds.
All it takes is the presence of some means of converting the combined form of oxygen into a free molecule of diatomic oxygen, and breaking down the carbon dioxide. This process of breaking oxygen free and taking up carbon dioxide has to be on a long-term sustainable process with a renewable and unending source of energy to keep the process going, of which this planet is blessed with having available.
Once the oxygen is free, it reacts with the ammonia to form water molecules and diatomic nitrogen molecules, a process that had to go on a long time to reach the levels now known in earth’s atmosphere.
Now, there is an awfully large quantity of water on the earth, but since hydrogen is by far the most plentiful element in the Universe, and oxygen is the second most reactive element, the formation of water was almost a certainty. Given conditions of temperature, pressure and time, much of this water was already in the elements that made up the primordial planet earth, and as the planet cooled, through radiation, and contracted, expelling considerable amounts of gaseous material from the interior, the total amount of liquid water continued to increase. We did not have to wait for gaseous comets to strike earth, most of its water supply was already here, but as water vapor, or locked up in mineral compounds.

How many brazilian tons of HtwoOh are there on planet Earth?
Liquid and Ice in both poles and adsorbed on all the water tables in all the land areas?
Just how many comets and asteroids would it take
If they all carried water in a lake?
Rather, all the H2 found plenty of O as the planet cooled and condensed.
Much simpler explanation.

The entire premise of this article fails due to the fact that the accretion model of planetary formation doesnt work. Every system modeled using what we know using gravity and physics breaks down when collisions break the protocol bodies apart with greater and greater force than gravity, a very weak force in comparison to the force of the collisions velocities, until it can reach a threshold size, in addition, every single asteroid and comet weve visited or flown by with space probes has been discovered, contrary to predictions of orthodox gravity cosmologists and cometary scientists, to have actually been bone dry, showing far less than 1% of the water and ice expected to be found, even to the extent that tethering ice anchors planned to secure a space probe lander to Comet 67P ChuryumovGerasimenko failed completely when the lander encountered solid rock instead of ice and bounced seven times before finally coming to rest. Similarly an ice drill on the lander probe failed when it could not penetrate the surface because the surface was not the expected "dirty snowball mix" of ice and other junk, but was instead solid rock.
The plasma/electric Universe cosmologists had predicted everything the probes would encounter. The water seen in cometary comae and tails is actually an electrical phenomena created ad Hoch from hydroxyl radicals (OH) electrically machined from the surface of comets due to electron discharging from a huge electrical charge differential encountering the the suns different charge. These Hydroxyl Radical encounter ionized Hydrogen in the solar wind (a charged plasma) which enter glow discharge mode, forming the coma and tail away from the sun, and form brand new H2O, water. In the Deep Impact experiment, where NASA hit Comet Tempel 1 with a 667 pound solid copper probe about the size of a washing machine at meteor speeds, the spectroscopic analysis showed the "release" of chemically pure water in a cone from the impact point that was less than 5° of arc from parallel to the incoming track of the probe before it hit, although ejecta and other debris from the impact spread over a 190° of arc, which contained no water. The lead scientist of the project said that only in the 5°of arc was any water at all found and that was where the highest energy and highest levels of OH was also found. SHe also said "it was almost as if the water was being created in that 5° cone." unaware that is exactly what was occurring as the Electric Universe Cosmologists predicted WOULD be observed.Electric Universe PING!

Who said that it did? Can’t they come up with an explanation that doesn’t involve non-terrestrial bodies?

"...an ice drill on the lander probe failed when it could not penetrate the surface because the surface was not the expected "dirty snowball mix" of ice and other junk, but was instead solid rock." After that stunning falsification of the 'dirty snowball' theory, the lander team scientists got up at their press conference and attempted to explain it away by claiming that comets really are balls of dirty ice, but they appear to be surrounded by shells of rocky material.
Amazing. Can they explain how such objects could even be formed?
When their theories fail to predict real world observations, mainstream cosmologists never seem to question the validity of the theories themselves. They just patch them over with ever more ludicrous theoretical explanations.

I dont see how either theory explains the water/ice elswhere in the solar system such as on Jupiters moons Europa and Ganymede. Whoops.
Give 'em a minute, and they'll cook up some ad hoc theory to explain that too.

...the planets outer core is liquid iron and nickel, but the inner core is solid; but the temperatures down there are as hot as the suns surface. That's the theory, anyway. Until we have the technology to make real world observations of the interior cores of planets, we can only hypothesize about their structure.

And why the Heck NOT?
Kuiper told us about this vast rim of primordial debris encircling our solar system.
Heck, it was named after him.
It’s in the textbooks.

The Kuiper Belt is still just a theory. As far as I know, there are no real world observations that validate its existence.

Didn’t Einstein say that the two most abundant elements in the universe were hydrogen and stupidity?
I know where the oxygen molecule came from.

It’s really a sad state of affairs when there are so many people willing accept any BS they are told.
I don’t know if it’s that they are lazy or completely indifferent to seeking truth.
God help us all
