The Earth grew by countless impacts from rock and dust in the early Solar System. This rock and dust contained ice which turned to vapor (steam) when it struck the Earth. This vapor was forced to the surface in much the same way that sediment settles in a glass of muddy water. Over time the crust of the Earth cooled and eventually the vapor condensed into the liquid water that we drink.

Astronomers observe as much as they can and collect enormous amounts of information based upon the radiation in various spectra, both visible and invisible, from stars, galaxies, interstellar gas clouds, and anything else they can see in the night sky, and they then perform very intricate and sophisticated mathematical analyses of the data in order to obtain reasonable theories.
What is the difference between the cosmological theory and the cosmological argument?
