Here is one of the fundamentals of life. Without it there would be no life. I consider this to be the case throughout the entire universe. I do not consider the case that we evolved on this planet, in this solar system, in this galaxy etc as remotely proven. I am an advocate of what is now known as panspecism. This is the notion that life has expanded throughout the univesrse along with matter.
It follows that water is a basic building block of the cosmos. It is something to be revered.
