The puzzling part of this is that Earth's oceans, and now probably the water that was on Mars, both date from this period. Where did it come from?

The only reasonable answer is comets.

It is reasonable. Who first proposed comets as the source of Earth's water?

I first read about it in "The Big Splash" By Dr. Louis Frank (in part).

Don't know. That's a fairly recent idea, isn't it?

Must have been a hell of a lot of comets to fill the oceans. Talk about bad weather . . .

Any possibility God had anything to do with this?

Just thought I'd ask.
