I think the point was that the Earth is 4.6 billion year old right now.

Oh, I just saw the broken English on the side, and I don't understand Japanese (I assume) :p

i don't know how many of you guys know this but this actually happened in Earth's early history. This is how the moon formed. Earth was once larger and an object the size of Mars smacked into it and stripped Earth of its outer layer, that layer then combined due to gravity and we now know that to be the moon.

Paging Bruce Willis, Paging Bruce Willis......

On a side note, I think I'm going to go dig my bomb shelter about 5 feet deeper after watching that. Just in case.

Then where did all the water come from?

water, as abundant as it seems, covers 75% of the Earth's surface, but it is little compared to the total mass of the Earth. the water, of course came from somewhere towards the center of earth. i sense doubt in my logic. a simple google search of "how the moon formed" might ease your doubts

that is one source of good information.

Your first mistake is passing theory off as fact.
Which means you've discredited yourself and I wont believe a damn thing you tell me.
