Nonsense. Water molecules are not eternal. They are broken up in photosynthesis
 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 
and formed in combustion
 C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O 
The oxygen and hydrogen atoms involved may well have been in dinosaur pee at one time, but the water molecule probably hasn't.

Go outside and look at a tree. It’s mostly water & air.

I suspect that the water cycle dominates. Check with Texas.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

That reaction brings up an interesting point: It takes a lot of energy to split up the water molecule (The energy released by recombining oxygen and hydrogen got men to the moon!). It's an odd fact of nature that plants expend so much of the available energy pursuing this reaction. I suspect oxygen atmospheres are actually going to be very rare in the universe even among living things. Earth is truly a very special place.

The dinosaur pee theory is settled science.

Denier!

DAMN....Sister Joan would be very unhappy with me, but I think that I missed that explanation in Chemistry class.......
