Originally from later impacting comets and/or the initial composition of 
the nebula that the Earth condensed from.

Initially it would be far too hot for any liquid water to exist and 
until the planet surface cools so that thermal velocity of water 
molecules drops below the escape velocity of the accreting planet the 
water cannot accumulate. Helium and hydrogen can escape relatively 
easily from our planets atmosphere even today.

Mars only really managed to hold onto CO2. OTOH Titan in the far reaches 
of the solar system had hydrocarbon rain. It seems just about possible 
that so does Pluto but at such a low temperature that nitrogen and/or 
oxygen is in a pseudo liquid slushy phase and has water ice mountains 
floating in it that are as hard as steel.

*WRONG!* Moon howling netkook nutter territory.
"Starmaker" makes Oriel36 look almost sane.
