"...water has been around since the earth formed, and although it goes from solid to liquid to gas and back again, contains contaminants that are left behind when it evaporates, it's the SAME water."

No, it is not the same water all the time.

Water is continually being produced by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Those atoms have never been combined before so the water molecule produced is new and unique.

Water is made in many places. Start your car and out the exhaut pipe comes CO₂ and water. Just seconds earlier it was gasoline.

We are actually quite spoiled in the Developed Contries. Third World people seldom have safe water, much less quality water, to drink.
