It is interesting that some people prefer certainty and confirmation while others love the sense of the unknown – for the unknown means that anything is possible. So it is in human life, where some of us run away from opportunity in case it brings risk, even if it means the world is safe but boring, and we live only a half life as we reject our potential for growth through experience. Some scientists are like this too, wanting evidence that will prove a well-established theory rather than trying to go beyond it and perhaps disproving it altogether.
Already “experts” are saying that the findings of the Rosetta mission about the source of Earth’s water are not conclusive, and that more data is needed before comets can be eliminated. Others speak of our water as being asteroid born, but I wonder if there is a different explanation altogether? It has been said that early in our Planet’s history water erupted out of volcanoes and covered the lands, and it may be that, rather than our waters coming from an external cosmic source, Earth formed itself around a body of water – water was the nucleus, rather than an addition.
We know that deep beneath the Earth’s crust lies a huge underground ocean, so big we cannot gauge its size, and it is likely that this great internal sea provided the volcanic material that led to the creation of water on the surface of Earth. We know, too, that water is the physical representation of Spirit: if water is the heart of Earth’s creation, then, surely, so is God?

G'day, Claire!
Questions, please:
First: What does the peer-reviewed research about Earth's geology suggest?
Second: What does the peer-reviewed research into the Higgs boson suggest?
Best,
William
Thank you as always for your contribution, William. I am not familiar with either research findings, and so if you care to enlighten us it would be wonderful and very welcome.
