Heat combines free hydrogen and free oxygen, and electricity separates them? Has anybody combined the two elements into water using artificial heat?

Many times in high school chemistry and physics classes, I would guess.

The Hindenberg, Lakehurst N.J. was a notable example....although speculation still exists that the igniting phenomenon was natural.

Yes. I did it in chemistry class . . . "burning" hydrogen produces water. It is an "exothermic reaction". Oxygen and hydrogen give up energy when combined and achieve a more stable state in combination than either "enjoys" in their elemental state.

Basic hydrogen combustion - "burn" hydrogen and the product is water. Consider a hydrogen powered car. Water comes out of the 'tailpipe.'

I've seen hypotheses where the high energy 'storms' of early Earth had a component of hydrogen combustion giving off water vapor. As the Earth cooled, the remaining vapor condensed into seas and oceans.

Artificial heat? Can I get organic heat at my local grocery co-op?
