Matthias, how would a green planet get water without large oceans? Could you or somebody explain! I may be nieve, you must need a lot of little oceans, to get the same effect, right?

There's a lot of water in the ground and in the interior of Earth as well. On another planet, it's possible that there is enough "mud" to sustain lower life forms.

I don't think this can rule out possibly "good" worlds. They could still be green and flourishing without having large oceans, couldn't they?

Minor, obvious point: Our planet's SURFACE is 70% water.
