Summary/Abstract: Water is one of the greatest wonders of the world. The relationship between water and life is a complementary one, this atribute of water – to be a life-sustainig element by definition – conferring it a particular splendor. Regarding the birth of life, even if there are several theories, each proposing a specific scenario, (almost) all of them admit that water had an essential contribution in this very complex process. Anyway, the main ideea is that life ‘arose’ from the primeval ocean in its early and primitive forms and spreaded, later, on all areas of the Earth. Thus, eventually, the scientific researches do not deny, but practically sustain, confirm the biblical narration.
