"Ice might have covered the oceans 3 billion years ago, as the sun was about a third less luminous than it is now. This layer of ice.....might have also helped these molecules to survive longer, allowing key reactions to happen." LiveScience
Once again, you guys keep getting close but always miss the mark. Sure, the sun was "less luminous" when water covered the earth. Why? Because the "sun" didn't exist until day 4. So TECHNICALLY, the sun was "less luminous" than it is now...it didn't exist ..... And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:16,19
