Water, water, everywhere.....

[Heywood]

Oceans were here before continents.

We've also had ice ages which nearly covered the earth in water ice.

That is an odd statement, since geologists think plate tectonics had already cycled through several ~500 million year long supercontinent cycles, where large continentals coalesce and the breakup, going back 3 billion years, long before the supercontinent of Rodinia formed. It seems an unusually high proportion of core of modern continents were formed between 3.5-2.5 billion years ago.

I chose that link because it was the first one I found that substantiated my claim that there is consensus among geologists that the ocean where here first and the continents came later. The actual theory being discussed could be poppycock.....I haven't given it a lot of thought nor am I inclined too.
