The high concentrations of deuterium reflect the initial composition of the subcrustal oceans. The organic matter came ''from'' earth and was never introduced ''to'' earth by the comets.

A back-tracking of cometary orbits by Dr. Walt Brown places comets Halley, Brorsen-Metcalf, Swift-Tuttle, Pons-Brooks and Olbers all near perihelion in 3344 BC (±1 year).  He proposes that this was the year of their ejection from earth.  (http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ212.html#wp7530922)

Further, an analysis by Stephen Kelly indicates that of those 5 comets, four of them have orbits which currently intersect Earth's.  All four cross Earth's orbit heading inbound toward the sun at a point in the Earth's orbit that would indicate mid-to-late autumn if they were, in fact, ejected from Earth in the Great Flood.

This is consistent with the Biblical indication that the Flood began on the 17th day of the 2nd month (Genesis 7:11), starting at the autumnal equinox.  These comets, upon ejection from Earth, fell toward the sun and were slingshotted into their current orbits.

The hydroplate theory has two known problems:

The hydroplate theory has two known problems:

# Near-parabolic comets often have very long periods. Their launch in an event occurring 4400 years ago is difficult to explain, unless they received a gravitational boost from Jupiter or some other gas giant.

(Kelly's theory above solves this by indicating the gravitational boost came from the Sun.)

According to Humphreys, the maria formed three centuries after the fall of man, and the visible craters formed about a century or so after the flood. If most of the comets, asteroids, and [[meteor]]oids now observed were flood ejecta, then they could have subjected the moon (and other moons in the solar system) to a heavy bombardment a century later and formed the craters. But they could not have formed the maria.
