Hey Blogbuster,
By hold water I mean actually that - hold water.
Were there a much smaller, more compressed Earth then the pressure of steam would be through the roof ripping it apart until it was mostly smooth (if a bit expanded). There would be no poles which would mean no magnetic field which may mean no atmosphere.
As it is we have 3 separate supercontinents as defined by markers in the tectonic plates which shows that the landmasses of Earth have been broken up and put back together at least three times now, and we're headed for the 4th.
I'm not saying that Earth wasn't much smaller and broken apart by water and magma away back when it was just being formed - it's just with Neal's model it doesn't account for the full passage of time.
It's a good theory though, but Boyle's law supersedes it.

Now the weird thing
a planet with 1 huge landmass surrounded by water?
