I am not getting on you so dont get me wrong but I have read the book, if you don’t think comets have ever brought water to the earth where do you think it comes from. Again, don’t get me wrong, I am keeping an open mind but you need to explain so others can make decisions based on all of the information. Here is one link that backs this theory up. www.windows.ucar.edu...=/headline_universe/small_feb.html

I hate to tell you but your links suggest similar theories as the one in the book that you do not agree with.
According to Stardust principal investigator Donald Brownlee, "no evidence of water has been detected in the particles". One sign of water, for example, would be the presence of hydrate silicates, Brownlee said, "but so far none of these have been found in the Stardust samples".
How, then, are we to reconcile the absence of water signatures in the comet dust with the fact that cometary comas often exude an abundance of water (or at least the hydroxyl radical OH). We answered that question in a three-part series, "Deep Impact --Where's the Water?" (first article here:
www.thunderbolts.info...)
The OH and whatever actual water may have been present in the coma were manufactured in the coma -- an acknowledged "chemical factory". The vehicle for this process has already been observed -- reactions between the oxygen ions in the coma plasma and the hydrogen ions in the solar wind. Charge exchange is now known to occur.
The least we can say today is that most comets contain no appreciable levels of water (i.e., most comets are neither "dirty snowballs" nor "icy dirtballs"). Additionally, it needs to be emphasized that there is no conflict between Stardust and Deep Impact data. Brownlee, who is not prone to overstate theoretical implications, points out that Stardust collected dust that was released directly from the surface in jets. "We're confident that the things coming out [of Comet Wild 2] are the same as those that went in", he told Space.com.
