The earth will one day absorb all of the water on its surface.

The reason it does not absorb the water on its surface now is because the earth still possesses a hot magma and an even hotter core.

Don't worry it will take 500 million years or more before the earths core cools enough to allow water to go into the depths of the crust without being forced back to the surface in the form of steam in volcano's and under water vents.

The oceans recycle all of the water in themselves every 6 or 7 million years.

This is accomplished thru hydro thermal means.

Without the thermal side of the equation the water world be absorbed and disappear as it did on mars.
