Earth Could Have Once Been a Waterworld Covered by a Global Ocean, Study Suggests
BY MICHELLE STARR
MARCH 02, 2020

Evidence found in the geologic record suggests that, around 3.2 billion years ago, our currently 4.5-billion-year-old homeworld was covered by a global ocean.
If confirmed, such a finding could help to resolve questions around how life emerged roughly 3.5 billion years ago; in particular, whether it got its start in freshwater ponds on landmasses, or in salty seas. If there were no bodies of dry land to host freshwater, the question is rendered moot.

"The history of life on Earth tracks available niches," explained geobiologist Boswell Wing of the University of Colorado Boulder. "If you've got a waterworld, a world covered by ocean, then dry niches are just not going to be available."

The research team was actually trying to take early Earth's temperature, a question that has long proven difficult to resolve. It's unclear whether the planet was much warmer or cooler (or around the same temperatures as today) when life was emerging.

Ironically Bible also says earth is 6000 years old only

So how do you explain it in the above context grin

And earth being under water is a very ancient concept not unique to bible , older religious / civilizational orders be it Sumerian , Babylonian , Indian , Jewish etc mentioned it vividly.

Eg In Rigveda It is said that during Sandhi Kāla ( time cycle ) the entire earth is submerged in water.

Vedas was written 1700–1100 BC, millenniums before even Jewish testaments ( 6 century BC ) came into existence. Bible ( 1 century AD ) is a very recent addition to Jewish testaments by amalgamation of the same.

Nothing original regarding the same in Bible.
