This isn’t in religion, or god. So, don’t put a pointless opinion.

geology lesson21% Voted for by Kazrith, redbrita, ChubbysLady71.
simple proto-planet hypothesis. the solar system was a nebula, the nebula condensed, forms sun. rocks and gasses on our plain (orbit) condensed. (looked just like the astoriod belt at one time) the rocks melted, releasing their gasses (chemisty 11 for evap. temps.) these first ones made the atmosphere, and then H and O reacted (BOOM) forms water. (comes out of the earth through volcanoes)there you have it. (ever wonder why quartz sometimes looks milky? well it has water in it to create that impurity) there are alot of things that have water already in them, like any chemical with an H2O on it. so voila! its always been there, only had to get hot enough to melt and be released!

6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so.

Water Was Frozen14% Voted for by Andy Stephenson, ohsweetie2788.
At some point, the Earth was probably expelled from the sun. Possibly because it had water and other less acceptable elements. As the earth distanced itself from the sun, water under the surface probably froze. Water on the surface probably also froze. Water in the form of gas, probably was lost in space. When the Earth achieved a balanced orbit, the liquids and gases began to appear.

The religious scientific answerVoted for by jonesz12.
Here's what I think, the people who tried to give the religious answer are missing the point of the question, how did it get on the planet? As you have quoted in one of your answers, the water was set above it, from my study of that word it means the sky in this context. Perhaps there were forms of water existing in rivers and seas and whatnot, but rain is another story, so maybe saying creation works, but not completely. Now bear in mind this is just a theory, but rain I don't think existed until the flood. That's perhaps why it was such a big deal, because nobody had ever seen rain before. God said he would open up the expanse in the sky, hence it rained for 40 days and the planet was covered in water. This explains a lot of things. Firstly, how did people live to be 900 years old or more. The earth was like an oxygen chamber until that rain fell because there was this huge layer of water vapor surrounding it. Secondly, the rainbow. According to science that rainbow would have shown up before when it had rained. It would make sense that this was a good sign for God's promise because under my theory, it never had rained before, hence nobody had ever seen a rainbow.

Does water exist?Voted for by Begin.
My question to you is. What is water? How do you know there is water on this planet? How do you know it exists?

Experience of waterVoted for by Begin.
Another point to all you science and relgion people know that this is what happened? Where you physically there to experience it or know anyone who was there to physically experience it? You can speculate how the water arrived on this planet but you have no proof of how water arrived on the planet.
