Earth was once a 'waterworld' just like the one depicted by Hollywood in the Kevin Costner blockbuster, according to new research.

A global ocean covered the planet 3.2 billion years ago, when the first primitive microbes were emerging.

There would have been hardly any dry land – mirroring the way it looked in Waterworld, the 1995 post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie.

Could Earth be a 'waterworld'? It may have started that way

Interesting article from CNN this morning.  I’d like to understand more the difference between Oxygen-18 and Oxygen-16, but interesting theory that they surmise there was no soil at the time to absorb the isotope.  If that was the case, I wonder if soil resulted from the erosion of the land masses when Jehovah made them appear on the 3rd day, or if he especially created soil, which obviously was needed for the vegetation to grow.
