The universe's water is billions of years older than scientists thought — and may be nearly as old as the Big Bang itself

When did life appear in the world? Scientists say that the appearance of water might say something about it.

“A new study suggests that water first appeared in the universe just a couple hundred million years after the Big Bang — meaning life could have evolved billions of years earlier than previously thought.”

Now some evolutionists say that humans came from ape like creatures and were moulded by Darwinian processes to become human They said that life may have appeared some 100 to 200 million years earlier that they  thought.

Water may have emerged in the universe far earlier than scientists thought — and it could mean that the life could be billions of years older too, new research suggests.

“Water is one of the most essential ingredients for life as we know it. But exactly when water first appeared has been a question of scientific interest for decades.”
