That’s old news and the most probable scenario. The temperature generated during gravitational collapse of a planet excludes the formation of water molecules so most likely the Hydrogen and Oxygen would form other acids and radicals (unlike in a mid sequence star such as our sun which primarily was made of hydrogen (then to helium to oxygen to carbon then death). The original Earth was much smaller and consisted mostly of heavier elements. The current amount of water was produced through the dissociation of mostly sulfuric acid created in the beginning, but only under the conditions of a cold surface to allow convective currents in the original mantle which was probably created by large impacts of ice meteorites that were far more abundant 5 billion years ago than now (age of universe is 13-14 billion)

Whats their evidence?
If you look at all the models they have presented in the past decades mine sounds as the most plausible, in my humble opinion, also Im not a 100% sure of it, how could I be, but it sounds more basedthan comets and asteroids with green house gases.

I dont think thats how it happened.
I think that Earth and other proto-planets were glowing and orbiting the young Sun in the accretion disk, wich contained high level of hydrogen, oxygen and water ice crystals, I think what happened is that as it went through this “soup” and the surface was glowing the gases and the water ice simply condansated onto the surface creating the oceans.
